I have a gas problem

Posted By Silverspoon (Los Angeles, California) on 08/04/2010

I have a gas problem. I have had it now for about 3 years. I am never bloated but I feel it my rectum. It builds up every few minutes and even rumble sometimes and makes me want to release it. I have also realized that I am releasing gas without even knowing it. It's embarrassing because I go out a lot and I notice people's reaction after a little while the way they excuse themselves from me. I did have acid reflux and I thought that was the problem - but I have taken medicine and it's pretty much gone. I have taken xgas and other gas tablets and nothing seems to work. Even had H pylori test done and. My biggest worry is the release of gas without even knowing it. Any suggestions?

Silverspoon, I would start taking probiotics (acidophilus). Sounds like you need good bacteria in your digestive tract. Good luck!!

If you were diagnosed with H. Pylori you should try mastic gum which is sold in the natural herb stores it comes in the form of a pill it kills h pylori and at the same times heals the lining of your stomach and restores the the acidity which causes gas. I suffered with horrible gas and belching and bloating and when tested pos for h pylori Dr. put me on on tons of medication that did nothing for me. I went online and researched and found mastic gum to be worth a try and with in 3 days I was cured that was over 2 yrs ago. No problems with my stomach since then.
