Found this link for anyone in need of nuetralizing a gas problem. I have not tried it myself but found the link in Barbara Thompson's newsletter.

Not a cure, but there probably isn't one for our problem but sounds like an interesting solution.

I saw this in Barbara's newletter too and have heard about it before~I just don't think I could use it, LOL!!!! I have a problem especially after eating anything high in fiber, but I need the fiber due to constipation problems~such a dilema!! I usually just eat my fiber at night and torture my family vs. the general public, LOL!!! I have heard people rave about Devrom and should just place an order to give it a try!

a lady in my support group says that devrom helped with the odor bigtime, but did not stop the gas. it really is a problem somedays are worse than others though. im still trying to figure out what triggers the bad days

Devrom does help with the odor, which is a GOOD thing!! I find that sugar alcohols are a real problem for my digestion and generate a lot of gas.  If I want something sweet, I just go for a cup of herbal tea with agave sugar or honey.   I do have to be careful about carb consumption--for some reason this is also a trigger. Good luck.

Ii have to tell you I thought this was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!  Can'tbelieve anyone uses them, or thinks it works! Gas is just one of the side effects of rny I decided.  Sometimes it sneaks out and its embarassing, othertimes its tootie-tootie!  AHHHHH!  The price we have to pay for being thin! blessings, and still laughing, Tami

I use devrom daily. While it doesn't eliminate the gas it does cut the offensive odor alot. Noise is more socially acceptable than the odor. Chris

Riv, This has been a real problem for me.  Ugh.  You talked me into it.  I ordered some Devrom.  Do you take capsules or chewables?  What do the chewables taste like?  I ordered both in order to see what worked best for me.  Although, I am sometimes afraid about swallowing large capsules. Thanks

I take 2 chewables at a time, some days 1or 2 times, some days 4 doses, depending on what I eat. I'm not a big meat eater, and get alot of my protein from beans. The Devrom tablets have a very mild, slightly sweet flavor, not hard to tolerate flavor wise at all. If I'm eating beans, I also take 2 beano capsules to cut down on gas production. Chris

Chris, Thanks!  I am looking forward to then order arriving.  Thanks for describing the taste.  I don't do well with strange tastes.  Well, this gas thing does not compare to the alternative - 100 extra pounds:)
