I was diagnosed with GERD last year. I take Prevacid daily. I also have IBS. I have been experiencing a lot of abdominal gas that is both painful and to put it bluntly, foul smelling. Can anyone tell me if this is related to either the GERD or the IBS? Can anyone tell me how to alleviate the gas?

Hi Sunshynecat,

The abdominal gas you are experiencing may be related to either GERD or IBS. Our intestinal gas guide may help you determine the source of your gas and how to treat it.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your input
