off birth control for month - pregnant ?
April 30th, 2010
I started taking Tri-Sprintec (equivalent of TriNessa) almost a month and a week ago. Everything has been great, except that I get pretty frequent bouts of flatuance and gas that are far from pleasant. Whereas before I started I practically never farted. I don't want to stop taking this birth control because it has made my skin near flawless and there are no other real problematic side effects. Is there anything I can do/take to counteract all this embarassing and unpredictable gas?? All I've tried is Gas-X but that doesn't get rid of it..

Thank You
