Pre-menstrual gas... how do I get rid of it?

[thebootyfaerie.livejournal.com]

I've been on depo provera for three years now. Pre-menstrual symptoms have been very mild since starting it, especially compared to the PMDD I had before.

I get my shot in a week, so, as usual, I'm having mild PMS. For the first time since starting depo, I am having major gas. Fortunately, it's not painful, but it feels like my entire abdominal cavity has been replaced with a balloon that periodically lets out air (fortunately, it's not super-stinky air, and fairly silent, but still uncomfortable).

I used to only get this the day I would get my period, and it would go away after a day or two. Since I'm getting my shot in a week, however, I don't think it's going to clear up on its own.

Is there anything I can do, diet-wise, to help this go away? I've never had success using products like gas-x and beano (they usually just make it worse for me).
