flatulence

Do you notice having a lot more gas since you were sleeved?   It's so embarrassing. I can't seem to tie it to one or particular food  or foods. It's really a problem.

I ordered some pills online today that swear they take the stink away. Beano or gas x dont' seem to do anything, but it would be good if they weren't stinky since they are for the most part silent.

I had that problem shortly after surgery when I tried eating sugarfree jello or pudding, so I don't eat it anymore.

White bread will also give me intestinal pain & gross gas. So needless to say, I don't eat those things anymore.

Other than that I don't have gas issues.

What are you eating on a regular basis? I might be able to figure out what's causing the gas. I haven't noticed issues with gas but I do get a lot of noise in my tummy that is embarrassing.. I bet people think it's gas when my stomach starts rumbling.

If I eat concentrated sweets, its bound to happen.  Taking Primal Defense probiotics has really helped. 

yes i have noticed the same thing, and nothing helps, i have tried probitotics that say they help with gas and they did nothing...

and its always there when you want it the least like walking in a super market...  i can get  it eating straight protein... i used to think it was my protein shakes, but the last batch i got of premier protein shakes were thick and gluggy so i am going to return them.. needless to say i have not been drinking any protein shakes and the problem is still there... but i cant say all my gas is silent either  though LOL

You are not alone...the fart monster comes knocking at my door most days too!  For me, I think my chronic constipation has something to do with it cause on days when I poop good, the gas is not as bad.  Now give me sugar alcohols and my gas can peel the paint off the walls.  Even my dog gets up and moves away on those days, lol.  God knows I love my sleeve, but I hate my GERD, constipation and gas...and yes, I take 5 stool softeners a day.

P.S.  I ordered those pills and I don't think they worked...maybe at first but then my body got used to them....and they turn your stool black...They are probably best used when you know you will be in a social situation, like a party or something.

I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem. 

I just started having this problem around Christmastime and decided that it was the sugar.  Whenever I eat something with sugar, it happens.  Whoo Baby!  It's as rot-gut as anything!  Worse than any I've had before.  Me no like! 

I'm glad I'm not alone!!
 
I teach in a large hall in front of Nurses and Doctors all day. I shuffle papers really loud or "accidentally" scrape my nails on the projection screen when I'm pointing out software features. LOL

It is what is it and sometimes I know I haven't covered up my "gas leak"  and so I just keep going. They are health care professionals too and I'm sure they have heard worse!!!!

If anyone finds something that works share please! Meanwhile I'm going to work on my distraction strategies!!! 

Definitely!   If anyone knows anything that helps please tell us. It's so unpredictable and embarrassing that it's ruining some of the things I can do socially.
