A couple of changes helped me tremendously. Do you take tums for calcim? I
did, changed to a pill form, and also too much splenda(sugar free) stuff
makes me awful..I find that if I leave the sweets alone I have very little
gas!!

Well, for me the things that I had to elimante from my diet were carbs and
sugars. When I stopped eating from the snack table at work I noticed a big
change in my bodily emmitions (sp?). I do not really dump very much so I
can swipe a handful of Mike & Ike from the snacks or Good n Plenty and
not have a problem. I can do this several times and not have a problem. Or
I would go up and all day long have animal crackers from the table. When I
consciously stopped eating this junk my gas stopped. Now, I am not saying
that I do not have any gas, I still have some but it is not the smelly
nasty type anymore. I get a little bit of carbs and natural sugar in my
diet when I eat my proper meals and snacks, I am making sure that I am
getting a well rounded diet. Take a good long honest look at your diet and
see if the bad guy is carbs and sugars, you may not have to take anything
for your gas except maybe elimante carbs and sugars.

I don't eat any sugar other than the natural sugar found in unsweetened
applesauce or fruit, which I don't eat everyday, and I have gas. I found
that when I eat lettuce, cabbage and raw vegetables, I get severe gas pain
and pass gas for hours after it finally works its way out.

I never have the problem if I stay away from refined sugar and refined
white flour and definitely cannot touch anything with the sugar alcohols in
them. My husband won't stay in the house with me if I eat anything with an
ingredient that ends in "tol."

Eliminate all of the white foods from your diet, and I mean ALL: onions,
milk, sugar, flour, rice, bread, etc. I bet that will help a great deal.
Next, begin a program of probiotics to recolonize the good bacteria in your
gut... Nature's Way with Reuteri is fantastically effective (I don't get
anything for that endorsement). Take 2-3 capsules a day for a month, while
continuing the regimen of no white food. You'll see a great improvement in
the amount and odor of intestinal gas after you do these two things.
Eventually, you might find that ocassional light use of Devrom is helpful
if you know you're going to be in a confined situation (on a plane, for
instance). However, Devrom is bismuth subgallate, and that's a poisonous
heavy metal, so it's NOT a good idea to take a lot of it for a long time.
Better to solve the problem at its source (too many simple carbohydrates
feeding too many "bad" gut bugs) than to just try to kill the
odor.
