Is Devrom a pill and where can I get it? My husband would love it if I got some of that stuff!! I have a smaller pouch and I thought they re-routed my intestines and cut some off. But, don't quote me on that it's been so long ago I can hardly remember the specifics. Thanks for the advice!

Sugar, that's my favorite thing in the world. But, I guess that answers my question. Thank you!

I've never heard of a gastric bypass with DS. Does that mean you have a pouch and your duodenum is bypassed?

Have you looked at what you're eating. The major culprit for gas and bloating is sugar (carbs). How's your carb intake? For odor, you can try Devrom (it's an internal deoderant - doesn't do anything for gas, just odor).

Welcome back Sandra. I had my DS in 2003 and have been doing fine. I deal with calcium deficiency (I have osteoporosis) and occasional iron deficiency anemia (controlled with infusions), but otherwise I'm healthy (according to my doctors), I've maintained my weight loss, and enjoy each day as it comes.

My surgery was years ago. My A1c is usually 3.9 to 4.2. No idea if it is normal. But I never have symptoms.

I had Gastric Bypass w/Duodenal switch around 20 years ago. I suffer with stomach bloating and god awful gas. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the pain and smell? I've tried Gas X, Pepto, and Phazyme Ultra Strength. The other thing I tried was Atrantil which does help but not enough. And I don't drink carbonated drinks or chew gum. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

eating carbs,especially grain, white flour and its products will cause terrible gas.

Hi I stay away from too much sugar or bread. That being said I find probiotics 10 million I think helps me when things get out of hand.
