GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

OK..... I am spending 3 nights a week in our spare bedroom b/c I cannot subject my poor husband to my fits of gas. suggestions???? What can I cut back on?.... just holler it out.

Without knowing what your intake has been, it is a little difficult to make suggestions. I find that sugar alcohols make me VERY gassy, as did lactose for a while.  To control the odor, I suggest Devrom--it works for me. Good luck.

Probiotics helped for me.

Watch your carbs, Mary!  White flour & highly processed sugars are usually what do it for us DSers. Ask LeaAnn on the DS board about Flagyl for gas if you feel you've got a chronic gas problem.

Hey... Well, carbs seem to be the culprit for me. I've seen the couch and guest room more than a few times! :::Whew::::it can get downright nasty.  I have tried probiotics and they work good...but you kinda defeat the purpose if you are constantly eating sugars and white flours...I cut WAAAAAAY back on carbs and it made a world of difference...I had RNY, but I have a feeling it doesn't matter when it comes to gas...It is what it is!  LOL  Hugs :::While pinching nose:::: What?   Oh no...not you.... I just farted, sorry! Anita (Just kidding)

Mary, we had different surgeries but from what I understand with both the RNY and DS that carbs = gas......you might want to look at what you are eating and see if you can tell what is causing the gas issue. I know my family is ready to run when it gets bad.

Girl...I am right there with you. We have been traveling this weekend 10 hours each way and we had to roll down the windows several times both ways.  It got so bad, that we pulled over to a gas station that looked 'decent' to me.  They had private bathrooms not a big communal one THANK GOD.  What I had to do was put my purse on the floor and use it as my pillow.  Then I laid down and got into the 'gyno' position and it just all came out in a hurrty.  In about twenty minutes time I had honked my way to freedom.  That can't be a quality of life really, but it was because I didn't pack my gassy girl survival kit.  I use Extra Strength Chewable GasX...2 at a time.  And I take Devrom for the odor two pills twice a day.  I have to do this everyday to feel ok.  But...they really do work!   Good luck
