to much gas

YOUNG&LOVINGMember

Hello everyone!
I have a j-pouch of about 5 years, and recently I've been experiencing a lot of gas.
I'm trying to figure out why, the food I'm eating hasn't changed. Is there any meds
I can take that will take care of this problem? Please help! Thanks(:

This is sometimes a sign of SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). I'm on doxycycline for it, and will continue on it for a few months. Some have found that a diet very low in carbohydrates helps a great deal, but I'm (perhaps foolishly) trying to avoid that.

Try GasX, it worked well for me. Hope you find relief.

I have found taking garlic pills helps too.
