Excessive Smelly Gas
I am 10 months out from my rny. I have no dumping syndrome but I have excessive smelly gas. I have tried gasx, beano, devrom, flat-d, I am sure this is diet related and have tried to cut out all sugars and fruits. I don't think it is lactose intolerance either. Does anyone else have this and what more can I do?
I haven't had much problem with gas overall when I've had it though it hurt bad. I know that white carbs in excess will make me gasy. Don't rule out lactose intolerance either, I have problems with milk ONLY other dairy I'm ok with.

That's another killer for many.
Probiotics seems to work for many.

Ahhh, the farting issue. I just say "excuse me" and either move on or giggle like an idiot. I notice when I cut out or down the carbs my gas is less offensive. I've never had the exprience that fruit makes it worse - its really the carbs like oh bread, pasta etc. That stuff will make my gas so bad the dog will leave the room. =)
