And I do not mean for the auto. Can someone suggest something to take for passing gas? I am scheduled to go to convention in Alabama in a few weeks. Husband uncomfortable about going with me because he never knows when it might come out. Thanks for any help offered.

    Hi
    Have you been able to attribute the excess gas to any particular foods?

    I know that I seem to have more now than pre-surgery. When I know I am going to have foods which can make it worse, I take a Beano disolvable tab just before I eat. Seems to help me.

    If worst comes to worst just buy a whoopie cushion and make hubby sit on it when the need arises!

    Hugs,

    carbonated drinks are the
    carbonated drinks are the worse, next to beans, brocolli, cabbage, greens in general. Gas X. And probotics help you ongoing.

    Tell him not to be concerned, in Alabama, it's a second language.

    Ok, seriously...

    Eat regular meals; skipping meals can make for more gas.

    And tell people to stop pulling your finger.

    Good thoughts.

    Just a thought
    Bring a dog with you?

    I've never taken it but I've seen commercials for Beano. I also agree with the others about diet and all of that.
