Excess gas after all this time!



Recommended Posts

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
