What's Up With The Gas?

[Nat1]

I hadn't had this symptom before and all of a sudden, I have this horrible gas stuck inside me every single day. I am not constipated so why would I have it? I feel it first thing in the morning even before I eat and then definitely after I eat. Anybody has an explanation for this? Especially since I am regular?

Thanks!

How long have you been gluten-free? That happened to me about after a week of gluten-free, where I was terribly gassy all day before and after eating no matter what. I'm wondering if it's not a detox symptom. I am somewhat constipated, but still have it on days I'm not. I just drink aloe juice, take enzymes with big meals, and take one or two Gas-X a day. I also bought some fennel tea to try 'cause it's supposed to help, but I haven't used it yet.

I've been gluten-free for about 6 months and that was definitely an issue for me for at least 2 or 3 months but am happy to report, it is much (much) better now. =)

OK good to know that will progbably pass. I've been gluten-free for several months but started to really stick to eat just recently (not celiac, just intolerant).

Got some fennel tea over lunch and it does seem to be helping!

I don't know how much milk you drink but for me, shortly after going gluten free, I had this problem and it turned out to be a lactose intolerance due to the damage in the small intestine.

Hope you feel better!

i get painful/trapped gas SO freakin easily... before i knew about Gluten Intolerance.... and after i went gluten free... i WISH removing gluten was enough for me- but unfortunately i have SO MANY additional intolerances

suffering right now- i think i overdid it with the greens & banana smoothie today (i have fructose/fructans issues)... and then i had a 1/2 grilled cheese for dinner- Udi's bread & cheddar- and i sometimes cant handle dairy & ANY starches...

so... im suffering right now- i took 3 or 4 gas ex gel caplets.... and my body just doesnt get rid of it well- it takes forever

Have you tried fennel tea, peppermint tea, or any other "natural" gas remedies?

I just ask because the fennel tea I have is specifically marketed for IBS symptoms.

hey Strawberry- i dont know if you're talkin to me- but thanks for the info- i dont like peppermint tea- but im tots gonna look for the fennel

[Strawberry-Jam]

oh yeah I was, sorry. I can't have peppermint tea either or it'll give me reflux but I like the fennel ok. It has a licorice taste. Might take some getting used to, unless you like licorice.
