I have had IBS for years and everything is pretty much under control except for all the excess gas!!!! Can anyone recommend a good product to take that really helps with this problem? thanks

1) Figure out which food are causing it, and avoid those foods (sorry.)
2) Try swallowing a spoonful of baking soda (with juice or something-- it tastes gross) in an "emergency" (but I don't think this is safe to do often. Check with a doctor.)
3) Activated Charcoal supplements might also help in an "emergency" (but don't take often, because they prevent absorption of vitamins/minerals)
4) Experiment with different digestive enzyme supplements (from a health food store)-- you might need to take them whenever you eat.
5) Ask doctor for a prescription that might help?

Sorry I don't know more...

I have found that dairy products have caused this in myself. Since stopping almost all dairy its gotten much better. Also, some forms of fiber do it to me too.

I have found eating too much of processed sugar products - yup, all the good stuff! - really increases my gas - especially if eaten on an empty stomach. On days when I can stay away from sugar I have almost no gas. The natural sugars in fruit don't cause much gas at all for me. I have experimented with eliminating dairy, high fibre foods, wheat, etc and using OTC gas remedies but nothing has made as big of a difference as sugar.

Hi you can not go wrong with aloe vera gel.Start drinking it now

I agree..I think alot of my gas problem comes from processed sugar and milk. The last few days I have slowed down on both of them and notice that I feel less gassy! thanks everyone for your ideas

I have to chime in on the sugar/gas connection. Eating sugar is like taking a gas pill for me. I also cannot eat processed foods or packaged foods with lots of preservatives in them. I just have to stick to whole food basics. Sorry- not much fun but works for me AND I do feel good when I stick to fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains and low fat dairy. jrose
