Yep! I'm right in there with ya' (stinking up the room ) I have found that it happens even when I eat nothing but protein for the day. It most certainly can be embarassing because the smell of the gas (to me) is worse than before because there's something about it that just lingers in the air and won't go away! My doc suggested I try an OTC product called Devrom. It's supposed to be an internal deodorant. It doesn't get rid of the amount of gas, but it is supposed to make the smell better. I haven't tried it yet so I'll let you know if it really works. The other thing that helps me is Acidophilous (sp?). I bought some chewable tablets that taste really good from my grocery store. I pop a couple before my meals and it seems to control the tummy rumbling that I get every blue moon.

Congratulations! That is so great! Tammy

I eat popcorn every couple of weeks with out any issue. Just becareful putting any butter on the popcorn. Tammy

Hey Jerry, I personally don't have this problem, but have a fellow CA OHer that does. She found a pill to help it not be so stinky! I don't know if it helped with the amount of gas at all - Not sure which is your problem, but if you want it, I'll ask her to PM you the details. Just let me know! Hang in there! - Perhaps it will go away as suddenly as it came. ???

Way to Go Shelley!! That's wonderful!! I can't wait to be able to say the same thing 50 pounds from now. I'm definitely considering plastics to get rid of the excess skin under my arms. My daughter said I look like a BAT spreading it's wings when I wear a short sleeve shirt. My boobs...I've given up hope on them ever being perky again and since my husband is the only one who sees them outside a bra and he isn't complaining, I won't worry about it! Lately I've been struggling with my vitamin and protein intake only because my schedule has been crazy! I find that when my life calms down, I can stay on track with taking my supplements during the day. But when I get really busy, I'm always the one to suffer. I must remember my mantra.... PUT ME FIRST!!!!
