Gas

[fatmom 0]

I'm two and half weeks post op. Especially after I eat I get a great deal of gurling in my gut. Sometimes it's like I'm about to have the runs, but I don't. But when the air comes out, sometimes its rather explosively loud. Fortunately there's no aroma, and fortunately it so far has not happened in front of anyone except family. But I'm sure I'm on borrowed time and one day at work I'm going to be soooo embarrassed!

Does this ever go away? Surely it's not from surgery still. I eat slowly. It takes me an hour and half or close to it to eat a 4 oz. can of Underwood chicken salad.

Thanks in advance!

I am 2 months out from surgery and I still get a lot of intestinal gas at times. The best thing I have found that really seems to help, is the Gas-X gel caps. You only have to take 2 a day and they help me more than the chewable or the dissolving strips. It must be because they have more simethecone than the other forms.

Give them a try. Hope it works!!

I feel for you. Been there and am still worried that it will happen right in church one day! Gas-X helps me too. It's the burping I still get that bothers me the most. It will come w/o warning. Thank goodness it is a regular burp and not a PB.
