Question:
Severe Intestinal Gas After Eating

I am 3 months away from being 2 years post op & from about 30 mins after I eat breakfast in the morning I start building gas in my stomach/intestines. Not just a little but alot . I have tried GasX, enzymes & a variety of other things. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions....HELP!    — Cindy M. (posted on September 21, 2007)

I was going to suggest an enzyme but since you've already tried that. Maybe a different kind of enzyme will work. I've read some people use Papaya and I've been using a Multi enzyme. Good Luck

If you are Banded you are probally eating to fast and perhaps drinking with your meals. I get that as well and I am 4 years Banded. Also if you drink from a straw that will happen and also Reflux is a problem as well, I live on Pepto and I am finally going to have my band removed and get Lapracopic Gastric Bypass.

Something you might want to try is Mylicon, it is a gas med for infants but often works for adults too. Hope you get some relief.

I have this SAME problem but it's after dinner and lasts the rest of the night. Gas chewables do not work. What is enzymes? At this point I'll try anything.

What are you eating for breakfast? It's possible that you have developed and allergy or intolerance to what you are eating. You need to see your doctor about this, especially if it has been a sudden change that has lasted for more than a couple days.
