Excessive gas.

Post by Graham MNarshall » Wed Mar 16, 2011 1:54 am

Using a VPAP 111 SD-A with a full-face mask. Started to experience excessive gas from gut during the day. Been suggested that it might be from the VPAP 111 SD-A machine. Does anyone else have same problem?

It goes with the territory! At least you know why you've got it, and how to get rid of it!
