Hello, my bigest problem is the gas, I recently knew that what I have is IBS, now my question is any body with IBS gets gas after each meal at any time or is just me?
Boy Im going nuts with this.

Hi,
I too suffer gas after each meal. I wouldn't mind so much if I could pass it but I get horribly bloated after I eat and it feels as if the gas is trapped.
Is this how you feel?

That is definetly how I also feel after every meal, sometimes I don't want to eat anything so I don't have to feel the pain from the bloating!

I too suffered from terrible gas (along with C) and just an unsettled stomach after everything I ate. Sometimes it was worse than other days. Not only could it get unbearably painful, but really embaressing while I was at work. I noticed that as soon as I stopped eating whole wheat, dairy, and all the insoluble fruits and veggies, it stopped. If I have insoluble fruits and veggies, I peel it if possible, cook it and puree it. So far so good. Since I only changed my diet about a week ago, I am going to wait a few more weeks to slowly reintroduce small things back. To be honest I am a bit scared to do that, so I think it will defiently be baby steps. I hope things start to improve for you, because I know what it's like and it's no fun at all!

I too suffer from terrible gas - allllllll day long, every day! It doesn't matter what I eat.
I have found if I am at work to carry a small bottle of body spray at your desk - and spray it whenever
needed. People come up to my desk and always say - I love the smell of your lotion. I don't correct them,
haha.
I am sure all day long gas isn't normal - but I don't know how to correct it either.

bdiaz... No, it's not just you. I'm exactly the same way. The gas comes mostly after I eat dinner, sometimes even before I get off the chair! I've been trying to figure it out and Heather suggested it might be the vitamin C I take w/dinner, so I cut that out and I still get gas. If I take Benefiber or Citrucel granules I get a ton of gas, but it doesn't seem so bad with the fibercon tabs. I "go" about 4-5 times a day, but just "bupkas". That's Jewish for small round terds...sorry to be so blunt. I feel like a rabbit or a deer, sometimes, cause that's what they do--just little bupkas! Anyway, I stopped the Benefiber and Citrucel and will start with the Fibercon tabs today again. I take meds at dinner (almost the same ones I take at breakfast), and I usually don't get gas during the day, and if I do, it's just here and there...not constant. I am beside myself (and so is my husband).

It really helps gas and bloating more than just about anything else. You can buy fennel seeds in bulk at a health food store or spice shop and brew them in a tea strainer. It tastes like licorice. It's also totally safe so there's no harm in trying. I've heard from a ton of folks who have had really dramatic results from fennel - I find it helpful just for settling my tummy in general, too.

While we are on the subject of gas!!!
I loved your suggestion of a banana before each meal to intake soluble fibre first, but they seem to make my wind worse and i have had to cut them out. Thought maybe some other people might see this as a problem/solution?
