Anyone have any great remedies for gas?  I've only had my j pouch for about 3 months and everything seems to be going great.  Except I have gas that is almost unbearable!  I don't eat gassy foods.  I've tried gas-x and charcoal caps.  I don't even have to eat anything, water will bring it on.  I'm almost at my wits end.  Thanks in advance for any help you may have!!

If you were farther along I'd think of SIBO, but first you might want to experiment with probiotics (perhaps VSL #3) and/or soluble fiber (e.g. Metamucil, Konsyl, Citrucel, Benefiber). These can also increase gas for some folks, in which case you might float away, but they are more likely to help, or at least do no harm.
