About a month ago I wanted to incorporate more beans in my diet. I had 1/4 cup for dinner and I'd make hummus for veggies. I had the worst gas!!! I tried bean-o and even something from off the internet that was supposed to be better than bean-o and I still had it. I was so bloated and uncomfortable. I read that you're supposed to slowly incorporate high fiber foods into your diet, but I didn't think 1/4 cup of beans once a day would do that much damage. I had to cut the beans out for a while and I haven't had that problem. Also eating raw broccoli or cauliflower does the same thing to me. I want to eat these foods, but I can't do it if I'm going to be miserable all day.

I never tried bean-O before so i will see if that helps.

You should do a castor oil pack:


Cut a piece of flannel (either old pajamas or they sell it at Whole Foods) to fit your abdomen area
Pour some castor oil on the flannel
Place the flannel across your abdomen
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the flannel
Put a hot water bottle on top of that
Leave it on for about 30 minutesAnd it should move that gas right out!

I have digestive problems and Phazyme is good for gas. I had my gallbladder removed in '99 and the doctor told me to use it for any gas pains that I may experience. It's quite pricey but it's the only thing that I have found to remove the gas from my stomach.

ENZYMES. Drink lots of water.

as for castor oil, take a teaspoon and be done with it.

I have also heard a spoon full of mustard. I know it sounds crazy but it worked for me.

A friend of mine just told me about that how much does it cost?

Do you mean gas like bloating and discomfort, or just plain farting? I had the farts really bad and what really helped me was cutting out anything with wheat in it. I haven't had a blowout in 10 days wheras before it was a daily occurance (and the jokes from Dh were just :wallbash:)

I take the Fiber as well and have noticed a difference with adding the fiber and pills.
