I Almost Look Pregnant
I have had the same problem and as I get older the problem has gotten much much worse. My stomach looks like I am weeks overdue with a baby and the sounds are loud and embarassing. I have to spend at least an hour in the restroom dispelling the gas which is unpleasent smelling. ( I keep a little sealed hairspray bottle filled with bleach in my purse which gets rid of the smell).

I have found that eating mostly protein, fresh fruit and vegetables is the best way to avoid these symptoms although overeating these foods will produce the same embarrasing results.

A slice of meat will usually help with the gas right away. I can no longer eat sugar or processed foods. If the good lord did not grow it, do not eat it. Even carbs like rice and potoaotes will create problems occassionally.

The only medication that seems to calm the beast is pepto and that usually takes a few applicaitons. None of the other rx or over the counter drugs have ever helped. If anyone has any other suggestions either by way of remedies or helpful hints, please, please write.
