Guest guest Posted August 27, 1999 Report Share Posted August 27, 1999 Joy, I can identify but I did find that once I cut down on the sugar free candies, ice cream, etc., the stomach gurgling stopped and the gas minimized.

He said he thought that maybe I had an infection in the colon and put me on Flagyl ( an antibiotic) for 20 days. Took it right away! Someone else told me they had this problem and said it was from Trinsicon, which I take for iron, B12 and intrinsic factor because of the bypass surgery. Good luck, I can relate! Darlene in Pa.

If you are not on the med then I sould suggest you call your surgeon and get his/her opinion. Darlene in Pa.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 1999 Report Share Posted August 31, 1999 If I were you I would look at hiring a lawyer. How dare those people through that crap in your face. This is a medical condition. call your local bar association and find a good attorney! A stinking situation Well I posted last week about my intestinal gas and flatulence. Well this morning as I was getting off I was called into my supervisors office. It was explained to me that there had been several complaints about my gas problem and that they knew that I knew that I had a problem. They wanted to make sure I was doing all that I could to rectify the situation. Then just as she was ending the conversation she reminded me that I was still in my 90 day probation period and that if I had to be let go they were under no obligation to mention why I was let go. I guess I need to do something and fast.
