Horrible Smelly Gas

I have seen this issue discussed before, but I am getting at my wits end. I have tried Gas-X and Phayzyme(sp) with no positive results. I started taking something called Nullo which is an internal deoderant designed for ostomy patients which helps the odor somewhat but the gas is still persistant. Any ideas of other things to try to get rid of the gas. It doesn't seem to be any particular food that triggers it. It is just there constantly. Embarrassing!

HI NANCY, I HAD RNY 6/4/04 I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM..WHAT I DID WAS READ ALL THE INGREDIENTS HOW I FELT AFTER EATING THAT PARTICULAR FOOD SLOWED DOWN WHEN I ATE TOOK LACTAID CHEWED CHEWED CHEWED RED MEAT ONLY OCCASIONALLY ONIONS, GARLIC, BELLPEPPER VERY POWERFUL (P...U) HOPE U FEEL BETTER I ALSO CARRY AIRFRESHNER WITH ME PATRICE

I get bad gas when I've eaten lots of carbs, which I rarely eat anymore. Seems if I stick to eating just protein and fruits and veggies I'm fine. And any of those with the sugar alcohols cause gas too. Good luck, terry coles 276/134/130 soon

I know just what you are going through I have IBS, and I'v tried everything also , I work at a hospital , and I need to step out of the room, and the people I work with , has ask me to go away, I try to hold it , it just comes out and the smell.... Kim

HI Nancy, Isn't great (and funny) how we can be so real with one another? For me it is SUGAR that is the offender. When I eat too much of it - the whole family knows it!!!! When I avoid it or just have some -but don't over indulge - I am fine. Good luck to you in finding out what might be causing it. I haven't tried any products - I just try to watch what I eat! Athena

What a stinky thing to say.....lol. I have come to the relization that I will never again have a serious relationship with a man. Even in my sleep I have gas. And now it's gotten so bad even I can't stand the smell. lol

Gosh I know what you mean....I hate to be around me. I haven't tried to take anything yet but I think I better look into something otherwise my boss is going to fire me over the stink! Debbie

As others have said, it's probably some "trigger" food. I can not eat carbs -pastas especially. I will have the worst cramps and horrible smelling gas, even after a few bites. When I stick with proteins I'm ok. I can tolerate most fresh fruits and vegetables (even beans) without problems -- but I eat them only in small quantities. Try keeping a food diary and see if that would help you identify the source of your problem. Good Luck! Regina
