dixiegypsy 0 #26 August 27, 2008 I don't know if it's proper forum etiquette to reply to most people in one post, but dammit, I'm doing it anywayJessicat & Karlm -- thanks for the input. I'm going to try the papaya thing. I'll probably try the pills and the juice, to see which may work better. billvon--I've pretty much ruled out aerophagia...I barely ever drink carbonated beverages and I've even gone as far as keeping a pencil in between my teeth during idle time (it's supposed to relax the throat so that you can't swallow air). But thanks for the input! Jsbird--Activia is indeed part of my diet these days. Yogurt & cheese both have the active cultures that are supposed to help digestion...they may not work, but at least they taste good! My aunt brought to my attention today that it may be fiber. I'm an almost-vegetarian (I prefer the term 'selective meat-eater') as in I don't eat processed meat or anything that looks gross. Apparently too much fiber in your system can cause gas of all sorts, so that makes sense. They say lots of vegetarians suffer from gas because they eat too healthy. Therefore, I am definitely gonna take yalls advice on trying supplements that help break down foods & fibers & such. Thank you for all the replies, yall have a been a great help. "Love all.

Muenkel 0 #27 August 27, 2008 Don't take this question offensively and you don't have to answer it publicly. Are you overweight? When I was 50lbs heavier than I am today, I had a horrible problem with acid reflux and extra belching. Since I have lost the weight, voila!, both problems have gone away. BTW, I'm now only 12lbs away from the perfect weight for me. Yay! _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
