Digestive enzymes for gas

It is worth a try, and definitely could not hurt. The worst that can happen is that they prove unhelpful. During these early months he can use all the help he can get while his gut adapts. I kind of wish I would have tried them.

I've tried Papaya and didn't notice any difference, all the anti gas pills such as Beano, Gas X, etc. made no difference too.  The problem with a J Pouch is it's the equivalent of moving from a huge mansion to a studio apartment.  I say that because let's assume you're listening to some music on one end of the mansion, the chances are whoever is on the other side of the mansion won't be disturbed by it.  But try doing that in a studio apartment and you better hope whoever else is in it likes the music you're playing. That's the way it goes with a J Pouch too, that gas that was no nuisance to you while you had your colon, is now more annoying than you thought it could ever be now that you're missing your colon. 

I use Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes - I take 1 or 2 whenever I'm about to eat a meal that could potentially produce too much gas.  I really do believe they help, and as Jan said - certainly worth a try.
