Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Gas, gas....and more gas! Help!

Hi Rob,

I suffer as you do with gas, gas and more gas! I take the fiber supplement that Heather and company produces, Acacia. I have only been on it for a week so I can't give and good results as yet. I also take Citrucel caplets, for the time being, and Mylanta Gas. I have asked my doctor to advise me of something else that i can take.

I used to drink Fennel Tea throughtout the day, but it seemed to have made my gas more pronounced! So, I take a Fennel capsule instead.

I take a soluble fiber (Acacia and a Mylanta Gas tab) time my feet hit the floor in the mornings. I am incorporating more soluble and insouble fiber into my diet. Heather has great recipes in her books, (IBS the First Year and Eating For IBS) and the board has a host of recipes that you could try.

That's about as much advise as I can give you at this time, as I know exactly how you feel. Passing gas "all" the time and being very embarrased at the odor of it.

You have come to the right place though, there are people on this site that will give you much better advise. This is the most understanding, loving, concerned, Caring, Advising bunch of folk that you would ever want to meet.

Hang in there, someone on this board will give you excellent advise as to what you can try for this problem.

I feel your pain, and I wish you the best.

Lene
