Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 9, 2012 I had/ have the same problem. On another thread, someone suggested it might be caused by the I digested sugar alcohols hat are in the sugar free foods we eat or drink. I'm not sure there is much we can do about it, but Probiotics or a superfood powder product might help with digestion issues. I have noticed that since I have been taking Miralax daily and taking a serving of superfood powder every day, the gas has gone way down. Between month 2 and 4, the gas was really bad for me and had a methane smell (TMI!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBT 450 Posted November 9, 2012 Talk to your NUT. You probably need to look closely at foods that cause gas IN YOU. Many ppl become lactose sensitive if not intolerant after VSG. cheese has more lactose than yogurt. Milk is the gassiest offender of dairy. Many carbs can cause gas. Including complex carbs. I have a friend who can not eat granola with out bloat and gas. Then there's the gassy veggies...

CBT 450 Posted November 9, 2012 My hernia also caused by csections. My hernia was held in place a fat plug but as you lose fat the risk of obstruction is high. A year seems a long time...
