There is a plastics board here on OH. You might give a search for it or maybe Member Services will chime in and point you to it.
Good luck!

Some people develop bacterial overgrowth over time, which results in excessive gas. A drug called flagyl can help (may also have side effects or drug interactions so discuss with your doctor). Here is a search of OH of topics containing the word flagyl (searched using Google). You may want to read about others' experiences:

Devrom is a different kind of product, more of an "internal deodorant" that can reduce the smell of expelled gas:

Are you getting plenty of probiotics, by way of pills or food? We seem to have a tendency to get our intestinal bacteria out of balance if there is no presents of probiotics. I prefer getting the benefit of protein with yogurt and kefir than adding yet more pills to my routine. It gets great results getting gas and bathroom stench under control.

Have you tried an elimination diet to figure out which foods are causing the gas? That would be my first step. This might also help you lose some more weight. Liposuction is, I have heard, VERY painful, and does NOT result in much weight loss at all.
You say you're allergic to milk---what about cheese? Lactose intolerance can cause a LOT of gas!
As for antibiotics, you can buy Flagyl OTC at the pet store---it's called fish zole. (*grin*)
