Pages: 1 Please help - uncontrollable gas       #266357 - 05/30/06 10:10 AM Edit Reply Quote luv2eat Reged: 04/21/06 Posts: 3 Heather - we first want to thank you for your wonderful products - it has made a tremendous difference in my wife's ibs symptoms. There is one problem however that we can't seem to resolve. My wife had her gall bladder removed several years ago and her ibs symptoms got worse. We almost have the constipation/diarhea solved but can't seem to get the gas under control. She describes it as uncontrollabe and most of the time it has a liquid to mucous consistency that she can't hold in making minor accidents more the norm than not. Do you or anybody in your group have any ideas on how she can resolve or make this problem more manageable. Thank you again for the great improvement in her life.

New to this board and forum so I am having trouble knowing where to go and how to get there. Will Heather see these posts and possibly respond - need to find someone who had a similar problem and how they resolved it. thanks again - John Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Navigating the boards....       #266441 - 05/30/06 02:41 PM Edit Reply Quote nomorepooch Reged: 04/18/06 Posts: 285 It takes practice... First, any question you have, use the search function and type in key words. If you get results, start there and then if you have further questions post them and someone will answer. Heather seems to get to as many as possible but as you can imagine she is a busy woman. There are alot of seasoned IBS'ers that will answer your questions once you have searched. Searching before asking eliminates duplicate posts. There are several moderators on the boards as well so you are bound to get an answer for your questions. I forgot about the liquid...I don't have that problem so am not the one to answer that but surely someone will! -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly...

I am addicted to those! You will find the recipes on the recipe board of course . Consider having your wife join the boards...there is a lot of IBS cammeradire and there aren't too many places where one can safely talk about their bowel habits or who farts when and how loud or how many ceiling tiles people count in public bathrooms! Everyone needs a laugh every now and then! -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly... I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

The gas is normal if you are switching around different SF * IS fibers. She needs to walk alot, and to do stairs at least twice a day for about 10 minutes. Tell her to just let it rip at that time, and she will begin to change the balance in the gut and exercise the lower gut and the gas should start settling down. It's really important that after she eats that she stays active for about 20 minutes. Don't sit down and let things bound up. This is the best things I know to recommend.. Tell her I wish her well, and that she's doing great so far, just keep on the path, there is lot's of us beside her.
