K,I want to thank you for all of your help and suggestions. Two weeks ago I cut out my morning coffee with two sugars, in an attempt to stop the terrible gas that arrived every day after lunch. It seems to be working wonders...I can hardly believe it. Fruit seems ok so far, as do pretzels. I guess it was the sugar and/or coffee.Also, since I have been drinking water like mad, I go to the bathroom every day at least once.Thanks for all of your reply posts to me...can you tell me what you think of ,y antibiotics post?Lisa
