gas

Has any one tried the Devrom tablets that are in the OH magizine? Do they really help on the Gas we get?

I used them for a while but the only thing they helped with was making the bm not as smelly.  I don't think it helped the gas be less but it didn't smell as strong.     Also the bm was black!    Some people swear by it, but personally I think it was a waste of money.    IMHO.

thanks, ive tried gas x but no luck

I HAVE TRIED IT ALL AND NOTHING WORKS FOR ME BUT WALKING . IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PLEASE PLEASE LET US KNOW ,,,LOL VICKI

Devrom is an "internal deodorant".  I don't think it is for reducing gas.   I also think walking is the best defense.  That's part of why they want you to walk after you eat.  It aides in digestion which in turn aides in "movement".

i work right next to people at work and im so tired of this gas every other day. i hve to sort the mail at work and cant really get up to walk all the time ..at home i do walk and i joined a gym but this still is alful  thanks for all the help ...

 Hi there.  You use the Devrom to reduce the odor (tends to be bad because we eat so much protein) and use the GasX to help you pass it and reduce the bloated feeling in your pouch,  There really isn't anything you can take to reduce HOW MUCH gas you have.  It is a consequence of the surgery.  However, you can keep from compounding the situation by not drinking anything with carbonation.  Also, you may begin to notice that some foods give you more gas than others.  If you can find a pattern you can always work to avoid those foods, but you want to be careful not to "paint yourself into a corner".  You need a well rounded diet rich in protein, fiber (also tends to cause gas) and veggies.  Good luck and learn to laugh at yourself.  My kids swear I can strip wallpaper when I forget to take the Devrom!
