Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Hi all ,my sister is recovering from bs and doing very well,hair is comming back,eating good,soon ready to rock and roll.Her main problem is burbing and gas to an extreme,her husband sleeps in another room because of the noise,she had this before dx'd with breast cancer.She is a singer and public speaker in the church and this has caused her to stop being able to do these things.I have done a ton of research,she has had all the standard tests for this such as gerd,ulcer,ibs,and nothing so far and no medicine seems to help,if anyone on this board or someone you know can offer any tips that might lead me to an answer,i would be so greatfull,i want her to get back to her life,she has a great attitude,and i feel less scared of cancer because of her. thanks Anne.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Aanne, My only suggestion would be to watch what she eats. Beans, cauliflower and other foods cause gas. Tell her write down each day what she eats and tell her on certain days to eat things that would not cause gas normally, to see if it could be what shes eating.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 I'm a little late responding but I do have the same problem. Partly caused by removal of my gall bladder. But since chemo it smells particularly bad. I use Gas X and believe me if you find a Target you can buy a bottle of Simethicone, 80mg. for $2.49. It lasts me about a month or two. 100 tablets of chewables, mint flavored and you can take up to six a day. It really helps move the gas on out and relieves the bloating feeling I get. Hope this helps you. Janet IDC - Stage I Quote
