Gastric Bypass Unpublicized Side Effect – Excessive Gas

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (PRWEB) August 28, 2005 -- Many people with extreme cases of obesity are contemplating surgery.

Gastric bypass surgery is becoming one of he most sought after procedures for these individuals. Bariatric surgery helps individuals gain back their self-esteem, confidence and health but all of these good things don’t come without side effects.

An unpublicized side effect of gastric bypass surgery is excessive flatulence (intestinal gas).

It is medically understandable why these patients have highly malodorous flatus. The surgery causes them to have a malabsorptive syndrome. A gastric bypass patient’s system won’t fully absorb the food and nutrients due to their shortened stomach digestive system. This allows undigested food to get to the colon where the enzymes and bacteria feast on the excessive nutrients. One of the by-products of their altered digestive system is excessive gas (flatulence). Most gastric bypass patients are experiencing this side effect and are desperate for a solution, to eliminate embarrassment caused by the odor.

Flat-D Innovations, a Cedar Rapids-based company, is dedicated to and specializes in flatulence odor control products.

Flat-D Innovations is the manufacturer and marketer of a non-drug, non-invasive and simple solution to your flatulence odor problems called the Flatulence Deodorizer. This patented product called “The Flatulence Deodorizer” was invented by Brian and Myra Conant, of Mililani, Hawaii.

It’s an activated charcoal cloth pad (military technology) that is placed in the underwear next to the buttocks. When intestinal gas passes thru the pad, it deodorizes and neutralizes it. Since its debut (October 2002) onto the Internet this product has helped thousands of people worldwide (USA & International) and has gained recognition among the Medical Community. The Flatulence Deodorizer is Doctor Recommended, FDA Registered and has been proven to be effective against odors associated with flatulence. The Flatulence Deodorizer eliminates the embarrassment caused by the odor and increases the quality of life.
