Tooting
I think I may have asked for help a few months ago, but my problem persists.
I am tooting (farting) every day. Thankfully, they are NOT clear the room, smelly ones. It is just exceedingly embarrassing to cross the room and make audible noise several times a day. In a noisy room, I just blast away.
What I have tried: Beano...no effect. Taking a daily pro-biotic pill...not much effect. Some days it seems it is positive. Most days it is as bad as ever. For a pre-existing condition, I have taken omeprazole (generic Prilosec) for 4 to 5 years. This problem did NOT exist pre-surgery.
My progress has slowed 10 months post-surgery. While I am happy to have lost nearly 80-81 pounds, my problem continues. It has been my constant complaint with my post-surgical visits. The weak solutions above have been offered. Not working. It is not my total problem, but I DO NOT want to go on this way. HELP!
Yikes. What does your doctor tell you? Wish I had answers for you. Could it be something you are eating?

What does your doc suggest? Have you tried Devrom?

Just bend over for a about 30 seconds with your head at about the level of your knees. I either tie my shoes or adjust my socks or pants. The gas disappears magically with no noise and no smell. I would have saved myself a lot of embarrassment if I knew this five years ago.
I know people who have had relief watching their carbs and taking probiotics.
