Hi Everyone,

This is BURD...my husband and I went on our cruise. Everything went just great...am grateful! At the moment I am not thinking of  reversal. Here is my issue. I would say 75% of my issues would be gas in my J-pouch. Does anyone have any tips on a product that would absorb some of the gas?  I work just one a day a week at a local winery...doing wine tasting. It’s fun ...but the more I talk...the more gas I produce! And my “pouch” does not know the difference between gas and “well you know!” That is when I have the most problems with leakage! Anyone else with this issue? I hope I will know how to access the responses...I am really not that great at “texty” stuff! 🤓 Thank you for your help and support! Please...all of you “take care!”

Is it really only extremely bad on days that you do wine tasting? If so, do you drink any of the wine? Wine can bother my pouch. Also have you searched online about swallowing air when you talk? I did a quick search and i don't know if it applies to you but it actually has a name. Aerophagia. It can happen if you are very nervous or if you don't breath correctly when you are talking. I would read up on it and think about what you read next time you are at work and see if notice anything. In the meantime, bulking agents like metamucil cookies can help with accidents. Most of us try to never pass gas unless on the toilet because it's very risky. Compared to a normal person we ALWAYS have diarrhea so leaks happen A LOT when trying to pass gas especially standing up. Gas-X can help if you have bloating and pain.

Hi Ellie,

Thank you for your response! I do not drink wine when doing wine tasting ( my boss would lose his license.) But I am sure I am swallowing a ton of air! I will look up the name for swallowing air.  I only work one day a week ... but oh my gosh!! 

Gas X does nothing for me. Wondering if I should take a double dose? Please take good care!
