Gas Help!!!

[fitat49]

Sorry about this subject, but I don't know if it's my period that's causing such gas or my eating cooked broccoli but I'm miserable my stomach is rumbling and bloated. I 'm taking gas-x but it's not helping. Any suggestions please?

Sorry to hear that you are so miserable! I find that drinking water helps me. Feel better soon,

Yeah it's the broccoli. Those dark green veggie tend to do that. Maybe beeno would help?

probiotic

might help.

Yes! I've been having the same problem! I still don't know the answer, but I've been taking things away little by little to see if it helps at all. I've stopped having my protein/fruit smoothie because I think I was taking in too much protein. We'll see!
I'm leaning towards the broccoli! I had to stop eating celery because of this too!

I've been having the same problem lately, but I think it was attributed to my protein drink. For some reason I think it's making me gassy. I've stopped it for a few days to see if the problem stops. If you find something that works please let me know.

I had a feeling it was the broccoli! I think I'll quit eating it. Any suggestions on what other healthy cooked veg. to eat are? That don't give you gas! lol

The broccoli is the most obvious culprit here , but sometimes there's just no explaining it, so I blame hormones.

Don't give up on broccoli totally. You may need to simply add it into your diet gradually to let the body adjust.

Have you had a reaction to broccoli before? It also could be too much protein, allergies, dairy, nuts, strawberries, citrus, ...... Have you tried the elimination diet?

I am a very gasy person and I have tried everything. The only thing that has done the trick is eating a yogurt every morning. If I know that I really ate a lot of gasy foods during the day, I eat another yogurt in the afternoon or evening. I can't believe what a difference it has made for me. I only eat Stoneyfield or other natural yogurt - it's so yummy too.
