Gas, gas, go away...

[Smye 694]

I'm on day 6 post-op and am still a fountain of gas. I belch uncontrollably every few minutes and when I go to have a BM it's practically a wind-storm beneath me. I'm not in any real pain, but being so full of gas is nauseating and very uncomfortable. I've been walk walk walking (1.7 mi yesterday, aiming for 2 of those today) and getting all of my fluids/proteins in, but still I cannot stop spouting gas. Does this ever go away?

I was given a prescription for gas. Pepcid and something else under tongue. Maybe that would help.

chewable Gas X. And yes, it gets better with time.

I like the Gas-X strips that dissolve on the tongue!

I got on here to see if I could find an answer to my gas pains. I am 3 days post op and I burp a lot but can not release from the other end. ???? this was very helpful I will try the gas x. Thanks!

My dr said some people develop lactose intolerance after surgery. Have you tried avoiding dairy to see if the gas goes away?

[tycolt1225 7]

I haven't had any dairy yet. I'm still on Clear Liquids. But it's a good thought for in the future
