I'M FULL OF IT!

You may be a happy camper, Joan -- but what about the people around you, hmmmmm? Just teasing...it's such an embarrassing problem, we have to laugh about it, right? Take care! Maureen

You are not alone!! You know you have a problem when your husband doesnt think its "cute" anymore!! Mine is really bad when I get to jazzercise class!! There is a girl in my class that always wants to stand behind me...and I think to myself "girl, if you only knew". I know the music is going to end and there is going to be a loud explosion on my side of the room...its terrible, and its allllllllll the time!! Rhonda -70

Thanks for the visual, Rhonda -- hey maybe the girl DOES know and that's WHY she always wants to stand behind you! Who knows????? Maureen

Chewable Gas X is the best product on the market for post-ops ! The only time I experience gas is if I eat icecream, drink milk, eat popcorn, or a lot of veggies... I just take 4 chewable Gas X and it takes the bloating and gas away... VAL

Thanks, Val, I'll give it a try! Maureen

Oh man I had this REALLY bad right after surgery! GasX worked really well! Other than that, teach kindergarten, the room OFTEN has a "gassy" smell to it cause them little "stinkers" are so DANG proud of their bodily noises! Nic 291/169/145

lol this was the funniest response yet! -Sherrie

LMAO!!! I am glad i am not the only toxic one!! My boyfriend has told me he is impressed a few times cuz he said he hasn't ever heard someone rip some of the ones i have. Even our cats have fled the room. But my fav is if it slips in bed, pull the covers over his head. I have found that chinese food makes it the worst for me. But i have uppe my protien lately, and have been eating more hard boiled eggs. Heres a tip...........If you like going to casinos, you can let 'er rip, it is so noisey there, no one will hear it, and it helps get that person off the machine you want. Gas them. I would love to get rid of this gas, cuz sometimes, OMG it is like i am fartin razor blades. At home we call them barkin spiders!! dang barkn spiders have invaded us all!!!

Maureen, The fiber tablets I use are Critrucel (orange and white box). I take 2 at night and it really helped. I don't do any sugar free foods except a little soda. I do better with real sugar-no gas. I have also noticed crackers/pretzles seem to make me rumble. Also remember the match trick...if you light a match it clears the stink in the room instantly! I keep them in the bathroom too. Donna

I use the "flushing of the toilet" at work when I cannot be alone in the restroom.
