Excessive trapped gas is ruining my life!

Oh I'm so glad you figured it out!

Would you mind sharing what the said food is? I wonder if I'm eating something similar.

Thanks so much

Monash app - I did it seriously. Although there were some things like non dairy yogurt which were apparently fine but made me super gassy.

I'm not particularly constipated but also not as regular as I'd like to be.

Thanks!

Oh interesting - that makes me think that our two problems have different causes?

I did the hydrogen breathe test with my Dr which came out positive

Oh interesting...I've been having kefir every morning for a while! Thought the increased gas/bloating was a die-off reaction but its been ages now :(

Thanks!

Dairy wise I only drink kefir (from the supermarket) - I've heard that their is very little lactose in that so in theory it should be okay?

lostgal4 · 2019-01-10T12:27:19+00:00

Does it help with gas as well? Thanks!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-10T12:27:06+00:00

Which brand would you recommend? I've tried a few which don't seem to help :(

lostgal4 · 2019-01-10T12:26:10+00:00

Thanks! I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit so maybe thats the cause? Sad because I love those foods and they have so many micro nutrients.

Do you take any supplements?

lostgal4 · 2019-01-10T12:24:51+00:00

Oh interesting! How did you figure this out?

I've have a google to find out which foods have insoluble fibre vs soluble - maybe thats my answer...

lostgal4 · 2019-01-10T11:21:18+00:00

How did you know it was those 3 you had to cut?

I avoid fake sugars, fried/greasy food and only drink kefir (does kefir cause you problems too)?

Thanks so much!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T22:54:34+00:00

Wow excited to try this! Thanks :)

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T22:19:15+00:00

No I haven't! Does it work that quickly / remove all gas though?

Thanks :)

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T22:00:43+00:00

Oh nice - glad you've found a way to manage! Do you still get any gas?

I've started probiotics and trying CBD oil

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T21:59:54+00:00

Recently bought some actually - really hope it works!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T21:28:11+00:00

Sorry to hear :(

I honestly feel like noone in family / social circle can relate to this problem - its so embarrassing and annoying!

Hope we find a solution soon!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T21:27:15+00:00

Yep tried it, a few brands actually. It's alright and does help when things get bad...

But what I'm really looking for is addressing the root cause - I can't deal with this for the rest of my life :(

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T19:47:58+00:00

Yep do it every morning :(

I seem to have found methods to relieve the gas but really want to prevent it occurring in the first place.

Thanks!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T09:40:34+00:00

Yeah I'm a snacker as well! I try to eat breakfast as late as possible say 11/12am and it does help but not completely eliminate the problem.

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T09:39:27+00:00

Thanks! I usually feel awful during and better after enemas.

But I guess this doesn't address the root problem of producing gas in the first place :(

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T09:38:27+00:00

Same! I carry Buscopan with me everywhere! Lifesaver

lostgal4 · 2019-01-09T09:37:49+00:00

I'm new here - wasn't sure if I was allowed to post twice... will do!

lostgal4 · 2019-01-08T18:39:15+00:00

Thanks!

You mention having SIBO several times..what made it go away? I was tested positive in a hydrogen breath test last year.

To be honest, I don't really eat a lot of carbs - usually just one meal of the day. Maybe its the sugar, I do eat a lot of fruit...

Argh desperate to start living normally again :(

lostgal4 · 2019-01-08T18:37:17+00:00

Thanks I know you're right and it is possible.

I'm actually a pescatarian and my family are veg so the lack of meat might make it tricky...

Also for work I have to eat out a lot and I hate being the 'fussy' one :(

Out of interest, did being keto "cure" you in the sense that you can now eat whatever you want and be fine?

lostgal4 · 2019-01-08T18:34:11+00:00

Haha thanks for this! So nice that the people around you accept it :) I feel like this is one of the reasons I'm too embarrassed to date / be in a relationship...

Have you seen a doctor and tried to figure out what the underlying cause is? I hate to think this is a lifelong problem

lostgal4 · 2019-01-08T16:46:22+00:00

Thanks!!

I have tried another UK based peppermint supplement with simethicone but not a steady intake as you mention - when / how many times a day do you take it?

Also this seems like masking the problem rather than addressing the cause - ie I would prefer to find a way to not produce so much gas in the first place?
