Please help me.   I have terrible gas every time I eat or drink anything.  I pass smelly gas or belch.    Then out of the blue last week I got very nauseated and when I threw up it looked like coffee grounds.      At the same time I lost control of my bladder and there was blood.   I called the dr next day and he told me to go to the emergency room.   They did all kinds of blood work, urine test and fecal test.   Everything was fine.   They told me to see a gastroenologist.  I have an appointment next week for an upper GI.   They said it may be ulcers.

The gas thing continues to go on and has been for a few months.    Anyone else having the gas?   By the way I am 2 yrs post op.   Trying to figue out if the gas thing has anything to do with throwing up blood.

I hope you get the help you need.  Sounds like ulcers.  One of the symptoms is throwing up black bile.

My gas problem was solved when I quit taking Celebrate chewables.   They have a lot of sugar alcohols.  Check the labels on everything you are eating, including chewing gum, mints, and vitamins.  Look for sweeteners that end with otol.  Some of the most common are Erythritol Lactitol Maltitol Mannitol Sorbitol and Xylitol.

I hope the GI doc has answers for you, this sounds scary and unpleasant.
