I'M FULL OF IT!

Okay, I can't put this off any longer. HELP with this very embarrassing problem...is anyone else experiencing extreme gas??? This has been going on for weeks and getting progressively worse! I've NEVER had this problem in my life before! I'm not talking acid reflx, folks, if you get my drift (and for your sake, I hope you don't!) Is this going on for anyone else and, if so, what are you doing about it??? Thanks, she said sheepishly. I'll go lock myself away in my room now!!! Maureen

I'm sorry to hear about your drift. I'm not having that problem, but I laughed when I read your post and felt compelled to respond. You are really quite witty although I don't mean to suggest your problem is of a laughing matter. Anyway, I hope you get some helpful responses. Caboose

Ah, Rob, you've been away too long! The two things you can absolutely count on with this Board is (1) lots of laughs; and (2) an outpouring of hepful responses! It really is good to have you back! Maureen

Rob! You really know how to pick the thread to respond to! Joy

Hey Maureen, Have you recently upped your protein amounts? or maybe changed your source of protein. Gas is sometimes caused by undigested protein, (A little known fact ) I had this problem too and when I went back to my usual amount of protein it went away. Not sure if this is your problem but maybe something to think about. It sometimes happens when we add more protein or change our protein drinks or bars. Hope this helps 'cause I know it makes you want to spend alot of time by yourself LOL. Hope things work themselves out. LOL couldn't resist it. Take care............................Betsy

Ya know what, Betsy? I have been taking in more protein lately -- trying to grow this hair back! I wonder if this is truly the culprit. Thanks for the tip! Maureen

Maureen, I had this problem since surgery until I started taking fiber pills every day, they seem to help. Donna

I'll do anything! What exactly do you take? Thanks for the advice. Maureen

Gawd yes Reenie! I can't stand myself sometimes. Last night, everyone had left work, the cleaning crew had come and gone, I was in my office late and after dealing with a stomachache all day from holding it in, I just let her rip. You can imagine how pleased I was to look up and see one of my staff standing in the doorway. I have no idea what the deal is and just thought it was me. Hugs (but not too tight), Connie

lucky you that you can hold it in--mine escapes at will...pity the teller who works behind me at the bank-- i take the little green pills form walmart- equate brand- they help-
