What are your remedies for gas and discomfort? I've tried cutting back on carbs and gassy foods. Everything gives me gas and discomfort. Do you have this problem and if so what do you do for it? It came on rather suddenly in the last few weeks. I've recent cut back on sugar and carbs because I thought that was what is setting it off. I need help soon. I think I'm contributing to "Global Warming" with all my gas problems!

You know what, I had the same symptoms when I was diagnosed with my gluten intolerance. Terrible gas which felt like a band of pain going from front to back. I also had diarrhea. Once I quit eating foods with gluten, I felt better within days. It's possible this is causing your problem. And mine came on fairly suddenly too, after I wasn't getting over a stomach virus.

I have it too but do not know why. Just assumed it was getting older. I use Tums alot!

I was the same way too. totally switched up my diet. But I think what really helped is I started to take Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes twice a day. Gas has been so much better. I was to the point I was affraid to even eat, cuz I was also get the gastro-reflux. Ever since adding the probiotics and digestive enzymes, much better. Take a look into that. Also my end all of end alls, is hot herbel tea, usually chamolile(sp)....

Good luck...

Heck I am back on coffee now, and can even drink a soda w/o call EPA... LOL

I use to burb like a sailor all the time.

Nothing worse than being gassed up at work!! Painful.

I really don't know what works..I have taken otc stuff but still it really doesn't provide much relief to me.
I burp a lot too. I take Prilosec for acid reflux.
Hope you feel better soon.

OK .. the title of the post had me laughing out loud .. I can relate ,, smaller meals,, Gas-X ,, Beno ,, Colon Health,, Activated charcoal has been shown to reduce the formation of gas in the colon. Yogurt has been found to produce less gas than milk. Probotics are also said to be helpful. Theres one other that once you get gas and it is painful and you dont seem to be passing it it will break up the gas so you can pass it ,, oh yeah.. its called Phayzme,, it will move things through.. Just take a walk outside at work and let it all out .. thats what i do !!!!

LOL, heeehee, i'm sorry but u make it sound really funny. I wish i had a solution but i don't. Take care.
