Excess gas after all this time!

[mbranham0306 0]

Has anyone else had problems with gas after so long? I had my surgery in July last year. I have a problem eating veggies---I don't really like them. I love raw veggies and stir fry veggies. I have eaten them everyday this way since I could begin eating veggies after surgery. Now the past week I'm having really bad gas problems. I'm eating the same veggies I always have. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Has anything else changed?

Our bodies can and do change (for example, you can develop lactose intolerance after years of having no problem at all with dairy), but most often, when you have a sudden increase like this, it's due to change: foods (not just veggies), new meds, stress, adding the use of drinking straws back in, and so on.

Take a look at the big picture and see if there's something you hadn't thought of that's changed.

Have you tried Beano? It works great with Beans and veggies that give you gas. It comes in chewables and dissolvable strips. You eat it with your first bite of foodl It is all natural vegetable enzymes. Try it. You might like it.

I've had increased gas ever since surgery...I don't if it's the surgery but I didn't have this problem beforehand. I thought it was my sugar-free popsicles but I've cut them out for a period of time and while I noticed a decrease in gas after a few days I still had more gas than before surgery.
