Hi everyone, have not posted in a while. I have not had D or C recently, but my bloating and gas has been terrible for 3 days. I am at work and it's just horrible. I have to keep spraying Febreeze. I have been drining fennel and slippery elm. What else can I do? What should I eat/not eat? I need it to stop ASAP! Thanks so much.

You're not eating anything like beans, are you? Just a thought. Maybe wheat is giving you gas - my Gran had this and it drove her spare ( she's a prude!). I'm sure she's got mild IBS.

I wish I could help you. I wish I could help ME. If you find a cure, let me know!

Gas-X helps me on a short-term basis for immediate temporary relief, but I'm always blowing and can never seem to nail down the culprit (except for the usual beans, and now apparently turkey sausage as well -- and on those occasions I take Beano).

Thankfully, I don't work -- I don't know how you guys do it, frankly. When I was working, my office was very close to the front door so I was constantly running outside to blow. Unfortunately, after awhile the office got onto me and I had to explain myself.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you. But I will definitely follow this thread to see what others can suggest.

No, no beans. Last night I ate chicken made with seasame oil, I am sure that did it. But why I am still like this today when so far today I only ate home-made banana bread, 1/2 banana, oatmeal, a glass of water, 2 glasses of fennel/slippery elm tea, 1 tbsp. acacia and my probiotic. A usual moring (consumed over 4 hours). I see my GI twice a year and I always ask him the same thing, is there anything for my worst problem, which is the gas and bloating? The answer is always no. Beleive it or not, Gas-X does not even work for me. Neither does beano before a meal, that's how bad it is! But then one day I can have a bowl of bean chili and just have a little gas but mostly be fine. It's always different.

Hey! You just reminded me -- I had forgotten -- bananas ALWAYS make me fart! I forgot all about that -- they always have, even before I got IBS. Wow, isn't that odd how someone will say something and all of a sudden a light goes on in your head?

Unfortunately it doesn't happen to me often enough .....

I have the same problem and I found this amazing tea. Depending how bad the gas is I can take up to three cups and the gas disappears. I highly recommend it.
go to www.florahealth.com you need to click on the Canada icon. click on the button that says "search products by health condition" then click on colic, stomach upset and under herbs click on Flora stomach tea. You can also contact them or even ask where it is sold. Please tell me if you find it

I have a similar problem, and nothing seems to help, the bloating is so bad some days I can't even get dressed and feel like I'm pregnant. Gas-X and Ovol don't help me either. I haven't tried this yet, but my Dad was telling me that when I was little I had horrible gas and that they used to give me somethign called gripe water, and it really helped. Now, I believe it's mostly for babies, but if it helped then, I don't really see why it wouldn't help know. Just a thought. Good luck!

Yeah, bananas upset my stomach, too. And my mom's and my mother-in-law's.

Okay, I'll try anything. I know what you mean, sometimes my tummy is so bloated that I feel I should be giving birth to something. I usually have to wear loose clothing and sometimes even sweatpants to work!
