Hi Gari... I do very much appreciate your post here.
Yes! I had a GREAT Christmas dinner with neighbors. They had everything... turkey and ham and LOTS of side dishes. I pigged out! HOWEVER, I made sure I took my peppermint capsule before I went as well as my Tummy Fiber. I didn't experience any problems until about 2 hours after my great meal. My tummy began to expand, and I was wearing wool slacks (cold outside) and I had to unbutton my slacks and loosen the zipper a little.
I went to the hostess and told her that I might need to go home soon, before dessert. She told me that I was not the only female loosening their pants, and all of us lifted up our sweaters and showed one another our undone buttons and zippers under our sweaters. It was just too funny!
Even so, I left before dessert (2 1/2 hours later) because I knew I need to go home and 'toot'. While the peppermint capsules protect me from smelly you know whats, even so I did not want to make music around everyone with my toots!
It was a GREAT day, and I was glad to get home and put my sweatpants on that have loose elastic and very comfortable. I didn't suffer any IBS symtoms from the meal other than passing a lot of gas. No problem!
Take care and a very Happy New Year to you, Gari!
