What's up with the gas everytime I eat?

As I sit here typing I am sucking on a Gas X strip!

It seems I get bloated and gassy almost everytime I eat! Mostly at lunch time and it's food I've always eaten.

I get this pain in the middle of my stomach right above my belly button and it can last for an hour or more. Eventually it goes away after...well....making the house unpleasant. Is there a reason this becomes the norm at 8 months?

Try adding a probiotic such as Primal Defense Ultra. You may already be eating a yogurt every morning but you might need the extra good bugs in your gut that a probiotic offers.

Thanks Gina.

You know...I don't eat any yougurt. Maybe I need too?

I was trying to find OTC Probiotics and could not come up with a name or anything. Thanks....I will go to the local drug store and investigate.

 Ive been getting afternoon gas since day one . It was REALLY bad and painful in the beginning .... now it just means i sometimes have to unbutton my ( tight) jeans if im sitting down in the car for extended periods . 

Gas x really helps me.  

honestly im surprised how few gas problems i have post RNY - I was afraid going in that id be enveloped ins some sort of noxious cloud forever lol !!

 Only time I was ever really embarassed was on a coast to coast plane ride lol ...but i just looked innocent and pretended teh smell came froms somewhere else lol !

Yes! I know all about unbuttoning the pants. This all just started in the last week or so.

Yep, doing the gas x...it does help some. I get so bad I can barely walk but the more I pass the gas...yuck...the better I feel. But wow...my poor family.

I get a lot of gas if I eat any kind of carbs.  I have GasX at my desk, in my car, and at home....I think it's about time to replenish my supply.

I can burp  to no end these days!
I dont seem to have the other problem though, but I hope you get straightened out and feel better soon!
Could you have developed a food allergy or intolerance?
