Hi Sabrina,
Good to see you back. Missed you and been thinking about you. Sorry to hear about the stomach problems. I've have had stomach and intestinal problems ever since my surgery 4 years ago. I've tried Zantac, Prevacid, etc and nothing really controlled the gas and flatulence. I found Maalox with antigas seems to work the best. Then I discovered, through pot luck, that a supplement, Fenugreek, that I was taking for mucous can cause flatulence if taken in doses > 100mg. I stopped it immediately and within a few days most of the symptoms disappeared. Still need the Maalox sometimes and still take the Prevacid but seem to be on the improve. Don't know if you take any supplements, but it might be worth checking the side effects if you do.

For those of you complaining about the taste of your flouride, I use GelKam Fruit and Berry Flavor in my trays. It tastes quite good and actually gets my saliva started in the am. It is .4 stannous flouride and over the counter. I pop the trays in when I shower in the am. This stuff might work for you Sabrina. My tongue was very sensitive after radiation and everything burned, but I was able to use the fruit and berry.

Take care,
Eileen
