I hope everyone is feeling well today. I have a question. I've asked this one before but it keeps happening so I'll bother ya'll with it again. GAS! I keep getting some real intense gas pains around 3:00 in the afternoon and I can not figure out the problem. I've changed by fiber supplement (was taking Benefiber now taking Equalactin). I've heard it can be the vitamin/calcium supplements but since I've been having such a hard time finding some for my sensitive stomach I've not been taking them. I eat pretty much the same thing everyday. Breakfast oatmeal Snack baked tortilla chips Lunch turkey with mustard on white Snack pretzels Dinner chicken breast with some type of potato. Boring! I know but it keeps me stable. My problem is this gas is uncomfortable. Definately the lesser of two evils (I could have a stomach ache) but I want to feel GOOD. By the way - there are times in the day when my stomach is completely empty. Could that be the problem. I teach 4th grade and sometimes don't have time to eat. I CAN and WILL make time if that's the problem. Any advice? Thanks!
