Hi there Shopgirl.

Jade*D had some very good advice for you.

The food you eat, and the medications you take have a big influence over what takes place inside our "innards". I was an RN until 2 years ago and as a nurse, we always treated flatulence with peppermint capsules. They were both natural and effective, in the treatment of this rather embarrassing condition.

If you think that your tablets might be to blame, may I suggest that you post this same question in our Medication Forum? If you do, hopefully our resident medication expert, mrsD, might see your question and give you more advise that I can provide.

there does seem to be a sub set of schizophrenics that are GLUTEN SENSITIVE with or without gastric complaint.....point being, the tests for celiac may come up negative and gluten could still be a problem.....get the testing done, and if it does come up neg., you can still try the diet. Good luck
