Hi,

Sorry for the personal topic here. I wanted to ask for folks experience around treatment for excessive gas passing and painful trapped gas? I have tried FODMAPS, probiotics, digestive enzymes without significant improvement. Have others struggled with this? What has helped you!!

I did test positive for mild SIBO a while back. Tried a bunch of herbs with a Doc guidance and even some pharmaceuticals for it. No difference.

Please share if you'd had this issue and how you achieved improvement or resolution? I have been struggling with this for years.

This happened to me and it went away with time. Strangely it got better when I stressed less about my diet and was less restrictive so I don’t know how helpful this answer is.

While gas has not been a problem, bloating has for a while now. Still happening, but not quite as bad since starting Betanine HCL with pepsin. I don't know if that would help you. I use it when eating a meal with protein in it to help with processing of it.

Maybe you need a higher amount of probiotics? I take over 200 billion a day. I raise my probiotics until I stopped getting gas. I started Wellbutrin 2 months ago and have had problems with gas again, but that’s one of the side effects of the medication.

Hi Inspiredby3

Thank you for that suggestion, and sharing that it worked for you! 200 billion That's a lot. And something I haven't tried, taking that much. A couple questions: which brand/strains do you take, and do you find it matters? I have read some Drs that certain strains are not beneficial or even harmful for certain conditions. Do you take 200 billion in one dose, or spread over the day?

Thanks!

yes i had and still have this problem, it is not continous though. it shows up a few days before some flare up of lyme symptoms. inflamation of the gut, i bet

except for charcoal, havent found anything that helps, including probiotics. when it starts it starts, then it just ends....
