Gas after normal bowel movements. low carb and low sugar and dairy diet. incorporating fiber - prunes, apples raisins, oatmeal. colonoscopy 6 years ago was fine. not sure what causes gas after a bowel movement?

Try varying it.: Fiber is viewed favorably for its absorption of fluid, preventing constipation, lowering cholesterol and (sometime) blood sugar. However, it can contribute to bowel gas. A trial of reduced fiber might help. Another approach can be a trial of the active agent in Gas-X, simethicone; it's available in oral forms. Its mechanism of action is the reduction of bubble surface tension, reducing gas.
