So this lady goes to the doctor and says, Doctor, I seem to pass a lot of gas

but there is no sound and it never smells. The doctor says " well, you just

take there pink pills for two weeks and then see me again " . After two weeks the

lady says to the doctor, " Well, there has been a change, I know I pass a lot

of gas but now there is a strong smell but I still don't make a sound. The

Doctor says " Well, take these blue pills for two weeks and then see me again " .

The

lady says " Will these blue pills fix my problem? " And the doctor says " No,

but they will fix your hearing " .

Well, it sure makes me feel a little better to know that I'm not the

only one that this happens too. It can be downright

embarrassing sometimes, especially when you're with " other

people " . By that I mean, your doctor, some friends while

shopping, getting up from the dinner table in a quiet, exclusive

restaurant, getting out of the car, walking through the doctor's full

waiting room, getting up from your seat in the movie theater, AT

CHURCH....yikes, that's the worst! or sitting down in front of

some clients whom you're trying to impress.

My personal list goes on, those are just some of the most

memorable occasions! The reason why I wrote about this now,

along with my question about my enzymes, is that it has

increased SO MUCH MORE during the last few weeks or

months, that I really wanted to know if this could be some

indication that I needed an enzyme adjustment.

The failure to gain weight and the increased flatulance seem to

go hand in hand. That's what I was trying to explain and maybe I

just didn't explain it right. Sort of like:

no weight gain + increased gas = not enough enzymes

Or a need for a different enzyme? I appreciate everyone's

comments on how well Viokase works for them, I guess what I

was wanting to hear was that people had been able to replace

lost weight on them, because it's not happening for me now with

my Ultace MT20's, which I love, by the way.

And I do understand the relationship between certain foods and

flatulance. Didn't know that about strawberries, though, but I

can't eat them anyway. But this is happening ALL THE TIME

now, no matter what I eat, and often when I don't eat whatsoever.

So maybe my doctor and I can talk this over next week and come

up with a plan that will change this. You know that expression,

" A woman can never be too rich or two thin " ? I'll tell you, I would

only agree with the first part of that quote, and I'm not even sure

that part's true, either!!

With hope and prayers,

Hello everyone,

I can understand very well about flatulence. Especially after my whipple

the odor was nasty, its very embarrasing. When I went back to work as an

elementary school teacher you can imagine the situation that caused in the

class.

I've found that medicines like prilosec and zantac greatly reduce this problem.

They cause the body to create less stomach acid.

I know exactly how that is, though I sometimes have warnings that it's

going to happen. However, stopping it is another issue. Trying to stop

it creates such horrible pain and doesn't stop it either that it's just

not worth trying to stop. I've told my mother, who stays with me a lot,

it's gonna happen and way more often than I can say excuse me for, or

I'd be saying that all day. I'll say , excuse the smell, but it's going

to happen. I've tried phazyme, and all the other anti-flatulence pills

and none of them work for me. So, I'm stuck with them.

I understood your post regarding enyme replacement, although I

don't have an answer for you about weight loss and enzyme

replacement. I personally don't take enzymes, I have never felt like

they helped with the pain. The only thing I ever used enzymes for

was steatorrhea, if I had gone to the bathroom more than 3 times

after (immediately after) eatting and lost gallons of water then I

would take 3 and 2 lomtil, my physician prescribes this after many

hospitalization from dehydration. I once got so dry it took 6 liters

of fluid to get enough urine to give a urinalysis. I kept calling

and telling them the diarrhea was out of control, I don't think they

believed me, I am thankful to God that I did not go into kidney

failure.

The saying about to rich or to thin, I guess the rich thing for

me is what you put your trust in, as for me and mine we do not put

our trust in the riches of this world, of things that can whither

away but we place our lives in one greater than us Jesus Christ, it

is the only way for us. As for me and my house, were gonna serve

almight God
