hi again all...i dont see my original post on the board,
what happened???
i did get to read few responses and i thank you for them.
i'm sorry i could not respond quickly. i had a major trauma happen the other day...my cat was killed by a car! very sad to say at the least.....which leads me back to my original post of this excessive gas problem i have...in times of stress and anxiety the gas becomes worse!...when the police arrived on the scene and we rushed 'scruffy' (my kitty) to the hospital to try and save her, my problem became so bad that the officer had to put down all the windows and nearly had to pull over, but he didnt, and pressed on. sadly to no avail.

i do not take any meds as someone had asked....what is beano?...that sounds like it will give me more gas.

again, my diet is typical american and i drink plent of fluids. please help, as my doctor is running out of suggestions.

hi sorry to hear about your cat, try knocking the fizzy drinks on the head cola etc they contain a source of (i think this is howits spelt lol) PHENYALALNINE, which causes stomach probs such as excess gas runs etc take care soz about your cat

hi...thanks fer the reply...we decided to have scruffy stuffed and we'll put her in her favorite tree out back..it just isnt the same around here without her..

i dont drink soda. mostly drink water, milk and scotch...most days i eat regular food three times a day...i do get the runs too, but only 3 or 4 times a week, the gas is constant! a friend of mine said its not good to hold it in, so i dont. but imagine being on an elevator or at the grocery store in line and letting it go! not always a favorable response....anybody know of a natural remedy i could try??? i dont do so good with drugs, they make me crazy!

niecsey, why did you remove my first post???...that wasnt nice. thanx fer the advise.

might want to look into IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrom). I have been diagnosed with this many years ago and have the same problems. Thank God my boyfriend finally married me so I can let loose in front of him!!! Holding it in HURTS! Anyway, try and figure out if there are foods that make it worse. Krispy Kreme donuts do it for me, if you can imagine that. High fat foods effect it.
