my friend ,who had RNY, 4 yrs ago is having a BAD problem with gas. What can we take for this? She does at times poop when she is passing gas. I know TMI but she wanted me to ask.

Gas tends to be triggered by our bodies processing raw veggies (especially cabbage, onions and other normally gassy foods), or from swallowing air while eating/drinking. Is she careful about these things?

I'd have her check with her surgeon's office for an official ruling, but I can't see why gas-x would be bad for us, as its not time release or a blood thinner.

I had the same problem at about the same time (4 yrs out).  I became lactose intolerant after RYN, so when I have too many milk-based products, it causes me major issues.
