Everything i eat makes gas... Help?

when I was in the midst of my last flare I felt like that too. You just figure out what hurts the least and stick with that. Common culprits should be eliminated completely: dairy (lactose at least) and gluten (give it a 2-3 week shot and reevaluate).

Diagnosed with Chron's December 2011.
Remicade - had 2 loading doses, waiting on 3rd.
Prednisone (just started tapering 12/27). Protonix.
Bentyl (sp?), Percocet, & Zofran as needed.

I have been staying with the easy stuff like that. Thats the hardest part bc idk what will help it. Im so hungry and would love to just eat a normal meal again. Miso soup and clear soup work well. Japanese food... Not the veggies and sauces, but rice, meats, and those soups work really well. I wish i could afford to eat out for that stuff all the time til thos clears up. Eggs work well too. My husband fries rice with eggs and a fish or seafood for me about once a week ilove it. I hate that hes giving up eating alot of what he likes bc of me. He does like to cook and try out making new things and im very grateful for that

I also have large amounts of gas no matter what I eat, even when I'm in remission. Just avoid large amounts of red meat which causes flatulence to smell bad. I hope this helps!

Have you been tested to see if you have a bacterial overgrowth? It doesn't necessarily have to be c-diff. I was experiencing the same thing, extremely painful gas no matter what I ate, severe diarrhea. After dealing with it for 3 weeks, I called my Dr and told him what was going on and just based on my symptoms he said I had bacterial overgrowth, (I think he called it SIBO). He called me in a 10 day course of cipro and flagyl and I started feeling much better within a couple of days. It would be worth talking to your Dr about. Gas pain is the worst, pain meds don't even seen to touch them! Good luck!

I feel your pain...literally. Everything gives me gas (and a lot of things cause reflux but that's another matter..). I have it now. But I also had some D today. I guess I hate to much sugary candies..
Still, I get gas after every meal. Except for breakfast, anyway. Always are my guts making noises, and feeling like they are squirming..
I'm not even in a Flare and this happens. When I am in flare, it can cause intense, painful bloating.
Some of this is from sloppy eating, but some remains a mystery to me!

Sincerely,
Matthew
