Hello all! I just wanted any input. I do not have a way to contact my surgeon except via e-mail and any time I've done this it has been not so helpful.
#1. For the past few months no matter what I eat over the course of the day weither I have boat loads of carbs or none @ all I have killer KILLER gas in the evenings. My poor BF is being a trooper but even when I run off every five mins. Sometimes the smell follows me back.
#2 I have been having some weird (ususally befor the gas and everytime I eat) RUMBLING. No matter what almost everytime I eat I get a rumble. Sometimes this happens just from drinking. I used to only get this when I ate something that was real carby and I knew I was going to have gas when I got this. Now its almost all the time. So much so that my BF could feel it from outside my belly. Way to kill any kinda mood there.  
Any thoughts ? advice? Im just wondering if I just have to deal with this forever. Is this just normal for me?
Edited to add info:
No I do not have my Gall bladder or appendix.
I have tried cutting dairy and I eat NO white flour. 
I just recently started taking probiotics a few days ago.





I used to make excuses why I cant Now I make reasons why I CAN!!

have you removed white flour and milk products from your diet?  Sounds like you might be having a reaction to something you are eating almost daily.... you might also try probiotics....there are others out there wiht more info on these. 

I would really start deleting foods and gradualy adding back to see if it is food of one kind or another! 

Hope you get it figured out!  Hugs!

It might be a bacterial overgrowth. Are you taking probiotics?

I had the same problem till I went on a couple rounds of flagyl.  I know it sucks but it will get better.

This sounds like you need some Flagyl.  The rumbling, though, is normal.

I'm riding with the Flagyl suggestions.

To help with the "after effects", try Body Fantasy Body spray.  Just spritz it in the air.

Walmart, Walgreens and Kmart carry it.  Cheap and it works wonders.  Your BF will thank you.

This happened to me a couple months ago.  I increased my probiotic to 3 a day.  Now Foods Gr8-Dophilus 60 capshttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JN86GI/ref=asc_df_B000JN86GI860 049?smid=AGFJLVQZ6Q00A&tag=pricegrabber2-health-mp-20&linkCo de=asn

Also I just happened to eat something that gave me diarhea and really cleaned me out.  I think that might have gotten rid of some of the bad bacteria also.  So if it happens again I will try the same deal and eat oatmeal and flaxseed  followed by lots of probiotics through out the day.

I'm hopping on the Flagyl train, too!  This was me EXACTLY a few months back.  I tried to eliminate foods, lactose, all that, thinking it couldn't be the need for Flagyl, cuz I've always taken probiotics.  I dicked around waaaay toooo long, and finally order the FishZole online!  I should have done it much sooner - life is so much nicer now :)
