Gas and bloating

PedroMadrugaMember

Hello all, hope everyone is well. I am about one month away from the two year anniversary of my loop ileostomy takedown and start of life with a J-Pouch. Things have slowly gotten better and I’m learning that some things I’ll just have to live with. However, there might be things that can help relieve the discomfort. Currently, the only medicine I am on is Stelara injections every 8 weeks to fight inflammation of the Ileum. I also take peppermint capsules occasionally, and oregano/thyme/clove capsules once daily (intestin-ol is the brand), and digestive enzymes with every meal. Does anyone have any special remedy that may help with gas and bloating. Also any other digestive aids that may be useful?
thank you, and Happy Holidays

I have very intense gas and the occasional bloating. I started drinking ginger tea and it helped. Gives you relief.

I make my own. 2 cups of water and I buy ginger and slice a few pieces with the skin on and drop it into the water and let it simmer for 20 mins. I drink it in the evening before dinner. You can add honey for taste. Hope it helps.

Be aware that ginger can cause digestion to speed up, resulting in more bowel movements. It might be worth a try to see how it affects you. It might help.
