I had gas bad too first week took gasX with each meal and bedtime and walked and walked! I was told to strain broth off Soup and use that tastes better than plain for a while cream of wheat also went down easy. My Dr. group did not recommend protien drinks at first apple juice 1/2 strength is good to but it seems the drs. are all different. Soon this part will be just a memory. Good luck.
