Bad wind

[Jue 73]

As anyone had bad wind after the bypass I'm nearly 6 months out and got real bad wind and stomach ache I wasn't like this before any help appreciated

I became lactose intolerant after my surgery and the way I figured that out was from all the tummy aches and gas. It got much better after I switched to lactose free and started taking lactaid pills before eating dairy.

it could also be some carb you're eating - or some artificial sweetener. Hard to say - but it's probably something you're eating

Ooh yeah good point @catwoman7! I also get really bad gas from Sucralose and inulin which has lots of funny names like chicory root, and sometimes just “fiber”.

This is 100% me. Carbs, particularly grain based carbs, really mess with my guts. Bloating and wind, super uncomfortable. I rarely touch them day to day, but the occasional bite while eating out really comes back to punish me afterwards.

I think a lot of us find ourselves with a newfound food intolerance after WLS.
