Did anyone experience flatulence or excessive gas ? thanks

I don't think so but it is powerful. I would take one maybe every other day because of you have an over abundance of yeast you can experience gastric problems... If you have any other problems I would be happy to talk with you.

No, and it kept me perfectly regular. I know that eating carbs cause excessive gas. I never get sick when I take these. They are the only brand I can find that guarantees the bacteria are alive until the exp. on the bottle, instead of when they leave the manufacture. I highly recommend this brand of probiotic.

I have taken the product ordered through Amazon and direct from Natren. It is normal to have some "cleansing" in the first couple days of taking the product. After the healthy bacteria colonies are reestablished or perhaps for some, established for the first time, your GI tract should even out.

I just recently switched from Pro Plan due to increase of gas and, more importantly, extremely goopy, yeasty ears. :-(

Yes, these are them but honestly the only thing we felt was bloating, pain and what felt like an explosion in my stomach. I was hoping that it would clean out my stomach but I was in pain for several days.

The intensive bowel formuka really helps if you have constant gas,bloating or problems with certain foods. I find the intensive bowel formula helps more.

Gas-X has never done a THING for me - before or after gas starts. Activated charcoal capsules will stop gas in its tracks every time though. Try these peppermint capsules as a preventative. As someone else noted, eliminate all sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet, and you will see a big improvement in your symptoms. (Use 100% pure Stevia instead.)

It causes me to empty my bowels each day, which was not happening before I started taking the product. This could lead to weight lost.

I have generally taken 3000 mgs per day. 3x500 first thing in the morning again mid-afternoon. I have had some stomach rumblings but nothing all that painful. I am not in the medical field, so I cannot speak to any side-effects from that perspective. I definitely have more energy all the time - along with that, the only side-effect I've noticed is not being ready to go to sleep. I find that I don't really wind down. I run along for a long time and then crash. I sleep for a few hours and then I'm up and going again. I haven't had this kind of energy in so long that I'm just dealing with it. Getting a lot of stuff done at all hours of the day and night!! I have lost approximately 40 pounds in the few months I've been taking this. I am also keeping a food diary and cutting carbs, so this won't do it alone. Take this, eat sensibly and be more active. It's a winning combination!

I had a lot of problems with gas in my Lab. Tried every 4 and 5 star dog food I could find and finally tried Merrick Beef, Barley,Carrot formula and he has had no more gas. It is such high grade dog food that you don't have to feed as much. My lab gets one cup twice a day and is doing great.

I haven't had any problems with mine. It has been flawless since I got it. Would buy another in a heartbeat. Does everything I ask of it. If there is a problem I'd have to say it uses a lot of gas. Other than that it's great.

The only thing that has happened is I am having extra gas and soft frequent bowel movements. No weight loss.

Not according to the label. But I am not impressed with it promoting anything other than gas :)

YES!!! I was casually taking that much and more and just yesterday I went through the most horrible side effects, so that I can no longer take it all. It can cause lactic acidosis, which you can look up, and terrible stomach pains. It was working great for me, but then yesterday I thought I was going to die. Be very cautious!

gas-x relieves the symptom of gas, but peppermint oil stops the production of gas. Together with peppermint oil I also took Digest+SEB and some probiotics. If you are taking artificial sweetners, this certainly will not work. Actually artificial sweetners (any kind) is one of the causes of stomach problems like IBS. If you are allergic to some foods this won't prevent that, you have to avoid such foods like wheat and milk. Before I started on this, I could hardly eat any food. I could only eat meat and rice before. If your problem is caused by any bacteria, you have to treat that first. Hope this hint will help you. gas-x relieves the symptom of gas, but peppermint oil stops the production of gas. Together with peppermint oil I also took Digest+SEB and some probiotics.

No more than anything else. Actually, I believe it is when I give mine "extra" things -like table food - that they get more gassy.

It did not work for me. It gave me constant gas which is one of the things it guarantee it would help with.

I didn't have any gas problems as much as nauseous but they definitely helped ease all my stomach distress. I have Celiac Disease so these are a go to. Hope this helps.

Oh no, I did not have this problem. I would like to say stick it out, but it is also important to listen to your body. Maybe it is causing your body to release toxins too fast for you, the more toxic you are, the worse your symptoms will be. Maybe try to drink a lot more water, you should try to drink half your body weight normally. I try to leave a glass of water with lemon or lime in it around to encourage drinking more. If adding more water doesn't help, try cutting down on the amount, maybe every other day until symptoms stop. If symptoms still continue, you may want to stop until you have done a cleanse. Usually trying to limit carbs and eat as much organic food as you can before fasting will help you not to have as many side effects. The toxins leaving your body and being dehydrated seem to be your problem. Good luck, lots of lemon water, raw honey and if you enjoy it onions and garlic will be a great benefit this time of the year to help your immune system, and if not getting enough sun, vid d3 and zinc :-) Hope you will feel better, this seems to be a great product once your symptoms subside.
