Gas

Does anyone other than me experience a lot of stomach gas after eating?  I have it more often than not.

ALL THE TIME!!!!! It's to the point where I try not to eat when I am out. It is some kinda awful and I'll be 3 years out in June. I have tried EVERYTHING and it still sounds like I have a brass band in my stomach.

Thanks so much for your reply.  I am 15 months out and wondered if this was normal. I forgot to bring it up at the last support group meeting. I lived in Oxon Hill in the early 1970's when I worked in D.C.  I'm sure it has changed much since that time.  Thanks again.  Paula.

I'm almost 2 years out and I have it a lot.  I've got a constant stock of Gas X (chewable works much better for me than the gel caps) in my purse and at home.  Sometimes it is so painful, too it doubles me over.  I HATE it.  But being able to wear a size 10/12 jeans makes it worth it!  :-) Michelle -191#

I have come to expect it even after drinking water.  I've had such severe gas pains that I've actually passed out.  I know at times it's because I've eaten too fast.  But when I've only taken a drink of water that makes me wonder what is causing it.  I am learning to live with it.  I'm 17 months out. 

I get such horrible pains, I swear! I have ulcers too, so I wonder whether it's the ulcers or the gas, sometimes both... I have an entire stock of antacids, Maalox, Gas-X, etc in my purse, car, bathroom, etc...

Thank you all so much for replying.  I will pick up my Gas-X tonight when I go to Walgreen's.  If this takes care of it, I will be a very happy girl. Paula. 259/138
