OzRoo 1,492 Posted June 7, 2016 Since my op, early March 2016, I have become one myself. I don't like it !!! I can't do a silent/non smelly fart anymore .... Now, it is like a loud cannon, and the smell nearly suffocates me at times .... Every day! Does it ever go away ??? Is it due to extra Protein, Benefibre, something else? Will a pro-biotic help? The belching I can cope with, and laugh at it. With the farting issue, well, I've had enough of it. So, long timers, does it ever go away, or does it linger on? What do you do to cope with it? Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patches4u 5 Posted June 7, 2016 Gasx Keep it at your side It will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CelesteMarie 129 Posted June 7, 2016 I don't think it's from Protein coz I get 80-100 grams a day and I don't have that problem. Are you making your shakes out of milk products? Could be lactose intolerant. I burp a lot because my new stomach is so small, but not loud. But I'm not a long timer so I guess it doesn't help you any. Lol. My surgery was May 5th.

Sophie74656 1,572 Posted June 7, 2016 I definately burp a lot more now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzRoo 1,492 Posted June 7, 2016 I was told I was moderately lactose intolerant. I am trialling lactose-free milk, but I love my yoghurt and cottage cheese .... I'll try Gasx, and perhaps Probiotics, as I haven't taken any for a long time. Fingers crossed! Don't want to be a Cyclone/Atomic Bomb Queen ...... Never used to burp prior this op. And my farts were mostly silent ones in the past, and not deadly .... LOL Got to laugh! I want to step down from the unwanted throne ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzRoo 1,492 Posted June 13, 2016 Probiotics definitely helped !!! Back to normal, thank goodness I guess, the anti-biotics with the surgery, trauma to my poor tummy, different food phases, some intolerances, they all played a part in this annoying condition ..... Got Gasx/Degas, haven't needed to use it ..... Just good old pro-biotics did the trick for me, Yay ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
