I'm using lactosefree products instead of regular cream, milk, sour cream etc. I eat sorbet instead of icecream.

[MrsMopp]

ok, that's fine for me as I like rice milk.  But what about things like Flora, butter, cheese, yoghurt?  Do you substitute for them too?

[CLKD]

Are there substitutes 

I find that when I sit around for a long while i.e. when we visit relatives who don't go for walks, my gut bloats badly leading to requiring a warm bath in order to relax ……..

I probably should. Milkfree margarine is widely available. Hard cheeses contain no lactose so they are ok. Yoghurt I don't eat that often, but I can find lactosefree yoghurt too. I'm kn Sweden but I suppose you can find that kn most places? If you don't go completely milkfree, but just want to stay away frlm lactose, it's quite easy....

I sound like a machine gun most of the time! I'm definitely the best 'farter' in my house!
I've tried changing my diet but it always comes back with a vengeance, I just can't put my finger on the cause. Although it is a side effect of HRT, I get it just as bad on the days I don't use my utrogestan as on the days I do. Could definitely do with a release valve as it can often be uncomfortable xXx

I have to eat dairy/lactose free due to intolerance. Not much difference TBH. Can still end up jet propelled.

Shellb - I'm not on HRT so things might be different but I have definitely noticed an improvement in the last few weeks since I've been taking a probiotic.  I started taking it after a bout of either an IBS flare up or a tummy bug (DD had a sickness bug around the same time).  It seems to have regulated things for me which is a first!  And I'm not as gassy either, which is another first!!  I've probably just jinxed it now and I'll be back to gaseous maximus next week!

Can you name the probiotic please?  I'll try anything, though it's worrying that CG avoids gluten and lactose but still has problems

I've just farted my way round Lidl.

Mrs Mopp

Look at symprove, its the only probiotic or is it a pre biotic ?  that is proven to get thru to bowels, its cheaper on Amazon,

[honeybun]

Has anyone actually used symprove. It's a drink ? And if so how much do you need and what is the average cost ?


Honeybun

[bramble]

It is a 500ml bottle which is 8 days worth at just over £21 so quite expensive.

Can I join your Super Gassy Club please. I really don't know what has happened to my bowels lately, it's as if I have eaten a Christmas dinner every day......

[Judith57]

Yes just like that but I haven't honestly!!
