Q: Strange Gas Problem
asked by: phil31613 on October 25th, 2006

Hi, i've been to my doctor many times before, and he thought it was strange. I tested out positive for having lactose intolerance, and told me to avoid dairy products, bread, or anything that might contain milk. I followed the plan for a month, with no results. I went back to the doctor, and he referred me to a gi doctor. I haven't made an appointment yet, hoping that you guys can help me with my problem. This has been going on for more than 2 years without any success in treatments. I have aches and pains below my stomache, and i've had chronic flatulence (occuring many times in 5 minutes.) during the night, I get pains in my lower right part of my stomache. I have problems getting to sleep because I can hear something going on in my stomache. It feels as if I just passed gas, but inside my body. Could it be a dietary issue, or something else? Thank you in advance.

I've also tried acidophilus supplements (jarro-dophilus).
I took 1 pill after dinner and the next morning I get more gas than I do usually. I thought it was just a coincidence, so I tried 2 pills. An hour later, I get more gassy than I usually do.

Could both just be coincidences?

Also, I consume a small amount of wheat flour everyday.
