Please Help I have gas, farting, since Gastric By-pass!!
I use the OTC probiotics from Walgreens and Devrom. Devrom is an internal deoderant with a different chemical basis from Chlorophyl (which will also help to a degree). Another poster said that she tried one brand but the tabs were really large - the Devrom comes in capsules, and they are not big at all. Much easier to get down than my vitamins or calcium. :)
The probiotics cut down on the amount of gas, and the Devrom cut the stench. The only bad thing about the Devrom is that I have found that you have to take it religiously - you skip taking it after a meal, then all bets are off until your next meal passes through. :)

I want to THANK everyone who took the time to reply to my post. I know everyone has busy lives and this meant a lot to me to get some help. I didn't know what to do or who else to turn to except for the ones who have already had the RNY sugeries like me. Again- Thank you from the bottom of my HEART!! Have a great 2008!

I am a healthy BMI now and so I am happy. I haven't decided yet where my comfort point is for maintaining. I'm trying to lose more, but I may find out that causes me to have more restrictive daily diet and excercise habits than what I am comfortable with long-term. It's all about choices!!!
