I'm 1 yr. and 1 month out and just within the last month my gas is HORRIBLE!!!!  Not the amount, the smell!!!  I mean, it makes me sick!  What's up with that?!

Likely a bacterial overgrowth. I have to take Flagyl to keep it under control. Most folks can get a script from their docs for a 2 week course.

I suggest you try to clean up your diet first before jumping on the anti-biotics.

Stop the carbs, junk food, bananas, etc.  Also all simple sugars.

If that doesn't do it, look at the veggies you are eating.  Some veggies give me gas so bad the dog slinks away from me...

Then start taking a good pro-biotics.  I take Primal Defense Ultra.  I swear this stuff is amazing.  If I have diarrhea or a lot of gas, I clean up my diet and take 2 of these pills and everything is firm and normal again.

I echo the food changes and probiotics.  I get wonderful probiotic results just eating yogurt everyday.  When I'm out, I can notice the difference after only a few days.
