I have recently been having a problem with bloating and gas. I know we all have the gas problem but the problem I am having is with passing the gas. It just seems to want to hang around and roll in my tummy. I have been taking gas-x which usually helps but not doing much this time around. Has anyone tried anything else that may help?

Hi Chayes- I started taking Beano before I eat any meal and it has helped.  In a past thread member Since1991 recommended Now Super Enzymes brand that helps aid in digestion and reduce bloating. I bought some off Amazon and it has helped me tremendously with gas and bloating.  Finally, if I start to feel the gas or bloating at work, I take a walk and that helps minimize it (works it out).  I feel for you because I know how cumbersome and painful it can be!  Kara

Hi Steve 

you may find it useful to look into the low FODMAP diet (Monash university). It offers guidance around eliminating foods that are hard to break down and so ferment in the gut creating extra gas. Good evidence for its efficacy and it's increasingly being recommended by doctors in treating IBS . It helped me a lot. I didn't take any antibiotics for SIBO (they caused all my problems in the first place) and I didn't bother with breath testing but the diet and a probiotic seemed to help massively,

good luck!

Hi from Oz, just had the breath test for SIBO proved positive, been getting alot of gas pain. GP gave me Clindamycin capsules 150mg for 2 weeks but said it may need repeating. She said the recommended antibiotic was way too expensive so gave me that one. The pharmacist then insisted I take probiotics too. Just read should only take it at a weaker strength and work up to higher dose. All this is very confusing some say take it some say don"t take it.  Also due to have a hernia op soon, any info would be appreciated.Good luck to you trying to sort all this out and hope it works out for you
