Struggling

You might want to try "Super Digestive Enzymes" instead of Gas-X.  I recommend you get them from LifeExtensions or Solray brands as I've used both brands and could tell no difference.  Gas is very painful.  You might want to try laying on your stomach and also sticking your butt up in the air. Like a downward dog yoga pose.

I've had hernia surgery but not a hernia on my j-pouch. Hopefully it will get better soon.   

No one has any idea if it will work for *your* gas. Just give it a try. The only guarantees in life are death and taxes.

This link should be at it's contents.  I worked for me and several others here 3-4 years ago.  Like Scott says "no guarantees".  It's in clear gel cap so I think it gets into our systems sooner than Bean-O. That and/or the combination of ingredients.  It's not a weird Chinese herb.  Solaray and LifeExtension brands worked the same for me and I first bought it from a retail vitamin aisle.
