excess gas

Since starting Trikafta, it seems like I have excess gas and I mean LOTS of excess gas to the point that me and my husband are not sleeping in the same room. Has anybody experienced this.
I have played with my enzymes and looked into diet but after changes and modifications it still remains as a problem. This has been going on for months now.

  1. just logged onto here, but my son is on Trikafta and he has tremendous amounts of gas, and now that I read some of the conversations now I am understanding some of what Trikafta is doing. I am not sure he does, though, the bad part is, he doesn’t stay continual with his enzymes, which I tell him it can create a bad problem . But as usual, he does not listen.

    1. Along with its needed effects, elexacaftor / ivacaftor / tezacaftor may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
