Problems with severe Flatulence

Most problems with odorous gas are from too many processed carbs (sugar, bread, pasta, chips, etc.) or too many sugar alcohols ( any ingredient in sugar free items ending in 'tol). You could try to control it by changing your diet.
There is a product called Devrom that will take care of the odor. You will still have the gas, rumbling and expulsion, but at least it won't be stinky. I've used it when I know I will not be avoiding carbs (like at an occasional party or wedding) and it works.

Elimination diet... Then slowly introduce different foods to find out what cadres the problem.
I can't eat beans, or grains ...also any qty of SA (even as little as in SF gum) is problem for me.
Raw veggies...some of them..ugh...
Gas- X helps some, digestive enzymes...beano...but to eliminate the problem means keeping very clean diet.

Busy with life. Needed a break from here as well.
Still fighting the fight and enjoying what I do.

I ate an Atkins protein bar that had high sugar Alcohols and I had gas for days. I never thought I had a problem with sugar alcohols, but this had a lot like 17g. Never again.

To many carbs or Sugar Alcohols will get me being ripe. As others have said reset your diet and slowly add things back and see where it starts.
Other options are do it quietly and blame old ladies in public.
