I am having a terrible problem with GAS.  My co-workers are complaining is their anything I can take?

Wow...That's got to be embarrassing! My co-workers would never even mention it to my face...

I use Liquid Beano before I eat any carbs at all and then another dose afterwards too. I used to use the pills but they didn't seem to work as well as the liquid.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Thanks Dawn...the thing is that they did not mention it to my face. I over heard someone complaining about the smell in my area.

Oh that's definitely embarrassing...

I heard stuff like that too. That's why I tried the different gas treatments. The little pills didn't work but the liquid works. I carry a small bottle of beano with me and one hidden on my desk...six drops before and six drops after. Works for me.

I have suffered  A LOT from gas.  I have tried Devrom and Beano.  It became so bad at work that I considered purchasing a charcoal seat pad.  I may ask the doctor for a Flagyl Rx.  Also, probiotics have done nothing for my gas issue.  They have greatly improved a chronic (on-and off again) yeast concern.  I have been taking them for months.  At this point, I don't know what will help with gas.  I knew I was a problem when the girl that sat across from me, put a air freshner on her desk!  If anyone knows any other remedies, please share them with us that are suffering and ruining our families lungs!

I was literally gassing my family out, but I never heard anything from co-workers.
I now take Pro-biotics, 1 "pearl" per day and it has cleared up the problem almost completely.  If I have more carbs than usual, I may have a bit, but not all day, every day like before.

I started with Acidopoulis 1 million (units?) twice a day, but now take one that has two different kinds of pro-biotics at a total of 2 million only once per day.  I get them at VitaCost.com.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

I try not to eat carbs during the day (or fruit).  This usually keeps the gas down.

If you need something, try & get a good probiotic.  At least 10Billion organisms and preferably needing to be refrigerated.
