I learned that it was sugar and non-complex carbs that did it for me...I had no idea til I did the 5DPT where you cut out most all carbs and sugar and eat only protein for 5 days...The difference was absolutely incredible. I have little problems now with gas of any kind, and I had it so bad sometimes for the last 4 years...Probiotics helped...but cutting out sugar, sugar alcohols, and non complex carbs (only in moderation) helped me soooo much...Milk and whey gets me pretty bad too! (Lactose is a sugar) Last night I had two sugar-free Werthers Coffee-Caramel Hard candies and had to sleep on the couch! That's all it took!

Currently I take phazyme at meal times and iflora one per day.  iflora is a probiotic and I have noticed a difference since I started taking them.  I did a little test this week and believe me, life is much more pleasant when I take the pills.  Gas x is good also but you have to be consistent.  If you stop the pills the gas starts again.

I know where you are coming from - my family just loves it (not).  But I did figure out what was causing most of mine.  I use "whey" protein for smoothies, it is also in a lot of protein bars like "Detour" bars.  The protein is great but the after effects not so good.  Like I say - "Its just the whey" Good luck!

DEVROM - go on line and get it.  It has solved this problem for me.  Get the chewable.  It works, it really does!!!

I just went thru this for the past six months.  I finally figured it out with my nutritionist. I am almost 2 years out and after first eliminating all fiber(including veggies and salad) then all dairy and still having this aweful gas.  Guess what???? I cut out all artificial sweetener.  My life has been almost gas free!!  I was overdosing on equal and splenda.  Everything has artificial sweetener.  It has been really difficult but now I am a pro.  I have learned to live without or just take a little of the real stuff.(brown sugar mostly).  Thank goodness I can have dairy and veggies!!! I hope this helps..You may want to give it a try. Everything from sugarless gum, diet pop, crystal light, diet ice tea, splenda popcycle and fudgicles and my protein drinks.  I have recently switched to a protein drink called Spirutein. It is sweetened with fructose. Good luck-Romey
