So, i was asked to have a private meeting with my boss.
Some co-workers of mine have expressed complaints to him over noxious odors coming out of my rear end.

I have tried to stick with my diet, but gas has become a MAJOR issue.

I am taking Papaya enzyme, which claims to help digestion, as well as acidophilus pills.....

Any other advice?

You could try Devrom.  The ad is usually on the lower right of this site.  I tried it and didn't really work.  Tried Beano too.  That didn't really work.  But some folks swear by the Devrom.

I bought devrom, and you must take it after after meal to control odor, but it will not control sound or peoples reaction to the sound.

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Oh, Steve, poor you.  I bet that conversation was uncomfortable.  Call your surgeon's office, maybe they can recommend something.  Good luck.

All great answers and right on!!  This board knows its stuff, I LOVE it!!!   In addition to the Devrom, probiotics and your doc, you might want to see a gastro guy or your doc might recommend it.   Is your belly button disgustingly stinky??  You may have a yeast infection in your GI tract.  Horrific gaseous odor can be symptomatic of that as well as of your eating too many carbs (even the good ones) or that you are not absorbing them correctly....mal, malabsorption so to speak.   God Bless your wife.

The Devrom definitely helps me, but I use 4 or 5 tabs at a time.  You might also want to eliminate all of the sugar alcohols (malitol, sorbitol, any artificial sweetener which ends in "ol") which really impacts the stinky effect.

Good luck!

Steve,

Try limiting your dairy intake as well.
