As we all know, if a person with a pouch needs to pass gas, he or she ends up soiling themselves. If I am able to move around, I can normally burp and feel better. However, I have recently found myself in situations where I have to sit for long periods and I have tremendous pain. For example, last week I chose to have a sandwich with pickles several hours before I had to go to class and I was miserable. I had a break between classes and I forced myself to have a bowel movement, which I know is not ideal, but I did not have another solution. I know that having a bowel movement when you do not need one can be harmful. Has anyone tried a Gas-X type product and what where your results?
