Extreme gas one year post-op

[doggylover 46]

Hello all, i'm one year post-op and having severe gas after each meal. I follow rules, eat healthy and usually never go over my cup of food that was suggested by my doctor but every time I eat, about 10-15 minutes after i'm done, I get severe gas that last for the most part of the day. Do any of you have this?? any suggestions or ways to help?

And by gas I mean flatulence ( :-) ) and severe bloating. Tummy aches related to the gas etc...

thank you

please let your doctor know this so you can be referred to a gastroenterolist. it sounds like you might have irritable bowel syndrome. the only way to find out is to have a lower gi . go to your pcp. I don't think this is a band issue. good luck

Are you drinking Protein Powder every day...i just had an extreme bout of gas because i drank Protein whey powder 3 days in a row.....Now i will only drink it once in a while like before I started exercising!

I'm not drinking any Protein shakes/drinks. I'm suspecting I might be starting to be lactose intolerant or I have reaction to tuna. I eat tuna about 5x a week. Today i'm cutting all dairy to test how I feel....hopefully its just some food intolerance that I can cut from my diet....tought I might have been band related but i'm now starting to think it might be food related
