Anyone Else With A Gasy Child?

[JacobsMom]

We go back to the Gastro tomorrow for our 3 month blood work and I am going to ask him but thought I would check with the board also. Does anyone else child have bad gas? Like all the time? Is there anything you can do about it? I feel so sorry for Jacob b/c I know he cant help it but at the same time he is always doing it. I dont want him to start school and then do it and other kids make fun of him! My mother keeps telling me he will learn to NOT do it if someone does laugh at him but then I dont want him to keep holding it and end up with a tummy ache.....

Thanks for any comments.

Do you think the gluten free diet is causing the gas? My daughters were pretty gassy for a while but I had to modifiy their gluten free diets, I didn't realize how many gassy foods they were eating (like brocoli and cucumbers), they still have a little bit of a gas problem just because of all the veggies they eat, but we have been able to teach the 4 year old to "poot in the potty room" so that she isn't so public with the gas. That might work, if he has "potty privilages". Sometimes she can't hold it long enough to get to the potty, so she just excuses her self, like you would if you burped, it's not that bad of a thing really, it's just something that happens.
