For the last couple of weeks, I've had issues with gas. My pouch inflates like a balloon during the night, and I have to get up at 5:00 in the morning to burp it. My PA suggested I crush a couple of GasX tablets and put them in my pouch, but it hasn't helped. It doesn't matter what I eat. Has anyone else had the same problem? If so, what did you do to resolve the problem? It's really beginning to wear me out.
