My UC recovery is going well, except for bloating and gas. It is literally ruining my life. I know gas isn't the worse thing that can happen to us, but right now it's causing me suffering. I have a new relationship and they fully understand my condition, but I still want to spare them some grossness. We sleep in the same bed and sometimes I am farting all night and it reeks.

I've reverted to holding in my gas sometimes for hours until I'm alone and can release it. The social humiliation otherwise is brutal.

Is there any remedy I can take just for gas? Like beano or something? I know the root cause of the gas is the UC itself but until that is resolved, is there something I can take to get rid of the gas and bloating?

I'm desperate. Changing my diet doesn't seem to affect the gas for now. I'm vegetarian, by the way.

Hi I have been in a UC flare up since october and its the first time ive experienced gas. The gas normally starts in the evening. I have tried gas-x, phazyme, activated charcoal, vsl #3, mint leaves, peppermint oil, fennel seeds, and a antibiotic called rifaxmin none of them helped. But maybe you can try one of these remedies. Everyone's body is different. I am still suffering with terrible gas and looking for a solution.

Have you tried a low FODMAP diet?
