Sorry it's difficult to drink - not to nag you, but I drink a tremendous amount since I've had my pouch. It really helps me. I had not heard of grape juice and gas x. I tried gas x, charcoal tablets, all kinds of things I can't remember for gas - nothing worked...are u saying grape juice combined with gas x is magic for some people? I will give anything a go. The gas drives me nuts. Please maybe talk to your doctor about drinking more fluids - I think this may help - just my 2 cents. As you can tell, I am talking to Jenjen and Gweede. I am a 29 year j poucher. Thanks to you both - please feel better soon.
