Sorry to be blunt but has anyone experienced excess gas that causes severe stomach discomfort and then you vent a lot? I know this might sound crazy but my husband has this problem now and he thinks it is the potassium supplement. He is also taking zocor for high cholesterol and has made it to maintence on the diet. I think it is all the cheerios with blueberries in soy milk that he has 5 times a day. Any thoughts?

My BF and I jokingly refer to it as an Atkin ' s burp. I can ' t say I have as much of a " problem " as he does [ / icon_wink. gif], but I do not more gas once in a while.
