 Hi curlycute,
Does the promblem increase with certain foods, milk? Have you tried eliminating some of the foods that cause gas to worsen?
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN

Thank you for replying to my question, however, I do not know which foods make my gas problem worse. I don't reallly drink too much milk, but I do consume, eggs, meat, cheese. I really don't want to stay away from them, is there any other cause or should I just refrain from eating these foods or are there any "safe" foods out there that I should try. Thank you.

Hi curlycute,
Changes in diet would identify if the problem is food related or if it's related to another disorder. If one food is eliminated at a time for a few days and your symptoms improve you will know which ones are causing the most problems. For instance if you notice the gas and wetness is increased on the days when you consume milk or milk products such as cheese, ice cream, certain processed breads etc., then you may have a problem digesting lactose in which medications may be taken prior to ingesting these particular substances. Be sure to notify your physician if your symptoms persist for an evaluation.
Sincerely,
Theresa Jones, RN
