Re: need help with gas/flatulence - have leaky gut and mcs

Hi,

I have recently put out my story about my own problems with gas. I hope something in my own experience will help you. Here are some things you might think about: did you suddenly add a lot of fiber? The more fiber and calories you take in, the more water you need--otherwise constipation/gas. Omega 3's and brekafast with yogurt and kefir helped my gas a LOT. Taking wheat out has helped a lot. Digestive enzymes never helped me. If I get constipated ( stools hard or pebbly) I have lots of gas problems. My gas always stops after a b.m. as well. I had to learn to add fiber in slowly or start it at night so gas is over with after breakfast and b.m. At first I had a lot of gas even with the water, but slowly my body adjusted to the fiber and I have a very manageable amount of gas first thing in the morning--and it is not foul-smelling. During the day, I eat smaller amounts of fiber at a time--so not much problem anymore. I like to eat a salad with some garbanzo beans with lunch. I also think this has helped me not to have Body Odor . But I think wheat is something I just can't take. At least not whole wheat. NO acidic food + starch. This causes me lots of terrible gas. DO try keeping a food diary. Then when you read or hear about different ideas, you can look back and see if those things might be causing the problem.. I am saying a prayer for you!! Please let me know if anything helps Tweet
