Have you tried Beano or GasX? I know its hard to deal with. Good luck. Ask your doctor what he/she recommends.

Maybe you are sensitive to some foods. Try eliminating dairy and gluten and beans and see what happens. Or it could be some other food. You probably also need probiotics and the enzymes mentioned by VirginiaAnn. Try chewing some fennel seeds, it helps with digestion. Sounds like your food is not getting digested properly and possibly fermenting in your intestines. Chinese medicine also works great for digestion.

Good luck!

thanx soooo much for your advice, i think im gonna go to my health shop and have a word with em and see wot they can do to help me. xxx

can totally relate.. i just pass gas in public and its so embrassing,.. my boyfriend walks a hundred feet away from me LOL.. try gas x or something

Well you should definately avoid beans in any shape or form, and I always find that too much wheat makes me bloated and windy. Food combining is good for gas problems but it's quite hard to stick to.

thanx all, ihave to do something fast as my hubby walks around with air freshener in his hands, some kids have blankys but my hubby has green apple spray!!!! lol its not funny really.
thanx again x

If your bacteria balance in your gut is out of balance, this can cause excess gas. Especially if you just came off of an antibiotic. Must replace with good bacteria, do this with tablets as well as having yogurt. Activia is very good. ALSO take digestive enzymes. Easy to find is Twinlab Super Enzyme caps at any health food store or even drug store. This will help digest food that might not be digesting properly. Undigested food ferments and produces gas. Lastly that is benificial if all else fails is to try to do some kind of bowel cleanse program. Many health food stores have different kinds. You might have to try one after another to find one that works well for you. This helps dump old, piled up matter out of your colon and thus no more gas. I would do a visit with your doctor to make sure no serious problem would be present before remeding yourself.

Hey. I think Lizgirl has the right idea. Although, probiotics could make the problem worse if you need yeast. It's a balance of L B and other probiotic cultures vs yeast in the intestines. If probiotics make it worse, try some yeast. Easiest sorce is bread or beer. Although if you're like me beer will make you gassy for sure.
I would also recommend digestive enzymes from natural sources. The best I can recommend are pineapple and grapefruit. These contain a good amount of natural digestive enzymes that help a meal breakdown for easy passing.
I get a lot of gas myself, and I usually find that teas to relax the intestines like chamomile, ginger, licorice, fennel, peppermint and such work nicely. Getting a lot of water in general helps too. Staying away from dairy really helps, as does avoiding beans and spices. I also eat really well and find that highly processed food will have me in pain, mainly caused by gas.
What works best for me on a gassy day is Tazo Relax tea (contains peppermint, spearmint and chamomile to relax the bowel) and excercise if I can manage to.

There are times when nothing works for me. They make thin charcoal filter pads that you slide in your underwear. A woman on my IBS forum uses them, but she has to wear two so that the gas gets double filtered. They do work for her, I'm beginning to think I should get some to have on hand for times that I can't risk embarassment.

I have used the other good advise from our DS friends who responded to your note. I also find that liquids bring on gas along with heavy, big meals. When we go out to eat, i take Gasx or drink a glass of wine to stop most of the gas. You might also be sensitive to certain foods so keep a journal. Avoiding constipation also helps. Best of luck.

OOPS! I forgot to add that carbonated beverages also create MORE gas and I find drinks with artificial sweetners can cause gas. LOL!

I really hope you find something that helps! I dont have the problem as bad but when I do.. I try to stay away from everybody. I hate because I try to hold it in so bad sometimes that I get dizzy and feel sick... Some days are worse then others thats for sure...
And the farting during sex.. been there done that.. yea it's not cool...

Good luck :) (Sorry that wasnt very helpful, I dont really have any advice for you, I just know how you feel lol)

thanx everyone fr all ur advice, i no its not a nice thing to talk about and im soo sorri ur all going through the same thing but it does make me feel a little better knowin im not alone!!! Its sooo bad that even the dog looks at me, gets up and walks from the room.
I have to say i get dizzy and feel sick too,i just thought it was from they smell!! lol

corr u have to laugh about this or i would just cry! thanx again x

Wow!!!!! If I could let it go, the cramping might go away. I get to where I need to belch or let go and I just can't no matter what.

Dear FRiend:
I don't have any helpful treatment suggestions, but in the "can you top this" department:
I was on my honeymoon with my new husband, had an IBS flare, and shat the bed. OMG!!!!!!!!
Talk about embarassment. Love at middle age is NOT what it was at 18.
My dear dear man took it all in stride, comforted my shame, and cleaned everything up. How did i win the husband lottery?????
