p.s. I still can hardly burp and still cannot throw up, but understand that can take 5-10 years. I recently had an endoscopy...first one since my surgery....and the wrap is tight, but not too tight....
I was scared too. However, meds did not help me. My stomach was in terrible pain all of the time. It's been almost 4 years since my surgery. I can now eat/drink what I want, but I still take...
Hi Guys, thought I'd chime in here. I had strange stomach pain prior to my surgery....like my stomach lining always seemed inflamed. It just developed out of nowhere and didn't stop. PPIs had close...
As always, thanks Denise. Yes, sometimes, just posting on here reminds me I'm not alone. You are right about one thing....I start to feel better and take it less easy on the tummy and when I do, I...
Hi Everyone, I had my procedure done 12/8/2011. I am still having a lot of issues with gas and bloat/upset stomach. I have a day here and there where I am issue free. Most days, however, I have a lot...
Hi Maximus, I was having really bad dry mouth and burning tongue to the point I stayed in pain. Since the surgery, it has not been as intense, but is still there. I notice I have it more strongly...
Hi Fran B. I know it's been almost a year, but if you are still around, I'd love to hear how things turned out for you. I had the surgery almost 3 months ago and constantly feel like I have air...
Is your gas getting any better? You must be at almost 4 months now? Any good suggestions from your doctors on how to relieve the gas and bloat? I'm taking gas x, enzymes, probiotics and they help...
Ellen.............I just got the biggest chuckle reading your post..........I am surprised I did not fart! LMAO. I am glad you are feeling better. I just got back from a week business trip to San...
Hey Ellen, I am taking digestive enzymes and a probiotic 2x per day as suggested by Cindy123 and my stomach is not hurting me as badly....not as bloated. I am still having gas, though. I am taking...
Thanks for sharing Peggy....I'll try to be more aware. :)...
I survived. Was tough some days. I am actually going out of town for another week next Sundayy, but for a week only this time. I agree, if I eat less and am very careful to eat more bland foods, I...
And, Cindy, I assume aloe vera juice.....from like Walgreen's will work?...
Hey Cindy, I ordered the plant enzymese you mentioned and also the bio k capsules online today. I travel so cannot do the yogurt easily. I will definitely look up food combining and appreciate all of...
After a month of taking those things Cindy, did your system work itself out? I guess I kinda worry, as before my surgery, I had bouts where my digestion just really got out of whack. I am curious...
Cindy123, which exact product did you use? There seem to be several on the website you provided....
Hi Cindy, I will check out the product as we speak. Anything that will help, I welcome. Thanks for the tip!...
I take a citrucel capsule a couple of times a day. I've tried different things (metamucil, miralax, colaise), but can't seem to find anything to help me go regularly and without cramping. Maybe I'll...
I am almost 8 weeks post fundoplication and my gas has become a lot worse. I suppose it is due to the fact that I'm trying to eat more things than jello, soup, macaroni and cheese, etc. But, am...
Hi Bill, I have only had a few meals in the last two months and, when I did, was only able to eat just a little bit of the different servings. I definitely think it is an issue of what to eat/not...
Hi Ellen, I wanted to check in with you. I am almost 8 weeks and my gas has become a lot worse. I suppose it is due to the fact that I'm trying to eat more things. I'm at a loss. The gas is causing...
Hello Tiflady, Definitely let us know if your products are working. I seem to have good days and bad days so am having a hard time figuring out what works and what doesn't. And, I seem to forget to...
I still do have some gas, but not as bad. And when, I do, it's loud....holy, moley! I do think the stuff helps. It's called Schiff's Digestive Advantage. As a matter of fact, I think I forgot to take...
Hey Ellen, I bought a probiotic yesterday at the drugstore that said it is specific to gas and when I looked at the package, it says it is for breaking down gas due to carbohydrates. I know beano,...
Thank you Cindy. I have been taking beano, but also bout a lactose enzyme, and some other one this weekend that targets breaking down carbohydrates. So far, I have been much, much better....not...
Hi Cindy, Thanks for the reply. I have not tried a probiotic, but am willing to try anything. I'm not eating a whole lot, as I get full too easily. Still doing a lot of soft stuff.....yogurt, frozen...
I'm a she. :turn: If this stuff works, I will gladly recommend it to a few guys I know! :smilewinkgrin:...
Hey, just as an FYI, I found a product I am going to try...getting some tonight from GNC called Gas Stop. I'll try anything. Will let you know if it has any effect. Lets bow are heads now and pray it...
I'll certainly do that. You made me laugh again out loud....hurts my incisions, but feels good to smile. I was thinking this recovery wasn't too bad until the gas started. I've noticed I can barely...
Oh Ellen....you made me laugh out loud, but you also scare the hell out of me. :eyes: Has your doctor said anything else besides taking the gas x and staying away from gas-producing foods? I actually...
Thank you Denise. Surrender to your recovery.....I like that. I am a tough cookie, go getter, and of course I have to push myself to move along faster. I realize, through this process, it is out of...
After many years of regurgitating my food and having horrible reflux, I spent most of last year going through the gazillion tests required to determine if I truly suffered from acid reflux and...
Hi Ellen, I am just at 4 weeks, as of tomorrow. I am slowly eating a larger variety of foods, but am still limiting how much and what I eat. I haven't been burping too much, but the gas the last week...
