This totally cracked me up!

Ok, it wasn't funny to begin with. I ordered some Devrom to control gas odor (hopefully!).

And it arrived very quickly from Amazon. I opened the package and read the directions, and found the following statement:
"This product cannot be expected to be effective in the reduction of odor due to faulty personal hygiene."

Honestly? I broke out laughing SO hard that Mike couldn't understand a word I was trying to say!

Just thought I'd share....and hope the Devrom works!

LMAO that's is too funny. I have heard that you have to take Devrom after each meal but I have heard that it works. Good luck to you oh btw I also heard that to reduce the gas odors limit your carb intake that is the culprit. Hope this helps...

Shilpa, I know that carbs can make the problem worse. That's one element of the old Atkins diet - carbs convert to sugars, and sugar feeds fermentation processes and the byproduct is gas.

The tablets aren't bad or too awkward to take. I am taking them twice a day to start and see how it goes!

h my goodness that is crazy that they had to say that

Just imagine the cir****tance that led to them HAVING to say that! Yikes!

Just a heads up.   We all know the carbs are the cause of the gas but in hindsight I can share that I had NO problems with gas until about 18 months out and NOW I realize that this is when my metabolism started to adapt to my RNY and even the smaller amount of good carbs was causing the gas.   The system was becoming efficient (which is bad).   If you increase your metabolism through weight bearing exercise (not cardio) you should see a reduction of the gas.  Wish I saw then what was a "red flag".   Now the docs tell you this happens around year 2.
