What can a person do about gas all of the time?

Beyond watching what you eat, I take gasx after every meal and at bedtime.
it does not eliminate gas, but breaks it up so bloating is minimized and it passes easier. It relieves me of the explosive farts I used to have.
I’m sure others will suggest other alternatives, but it’s just something I have to live with and manage (like pretty much everything associated with my pouch)
Sometimes gut surgery can screw up our body's ability to make digestive enzymes. It's pretty common.
Dietary enzymes can help. I have noticed that "Beano" (I get the generic kind because it doesn't have sugar) helps with beans and cruciferous things, "Plant Enzymes" from "Now" help me with fat and grains, "Fodzyme" helps with Fructan (and milk and beans). These enzymes also help me get more energy from my food and I feel less bloated.
Sometimes probiotics help too.
I second gas-x and beano. Are you currently flaring?
A lot of people on here say they take Gas-X. It doesn't work in the least for me, it just makes me feel kind of gross.
