Question:
I had gastric bypass and am having alot of gas

I had gastric bypass and I'm having alot of gas, bloating and upper stomach pain after eating. Sometimes I'm not even eating and I still have terrible gas & bloating and then comes the pain and the pain goes away after taking antiacids...someone told me taking antiacids is wrong because we don't have stomach acid anymore, that I should be taking a digestive enzyme...has anyone heard of this??    — Sue W.

You may be getting a ulcer. call your surgeon. the small part of your remaing stomach can produce some acid. I have had a ulcer, it creates LOTS of gas.......

I had (and still do sometimes) a lot of gas a couple months after my surgery. Devrom and GasX were recommended on this forum. I have and use both. Others may have more advice. Hang in there!

Gas is common after WLS. They recommended Gas-X. Not a bad idea to look into ulcer just to make sure.

Devrom is an excellent producet, I use it. Like the others, I agree go check your problem out with your surgeon.

If the OP is a smoker its more likely a ulcer, tobacco smoke is a big irritant to the pouch. my ulcer was from stress, i am going thru divorce
