Taking Devrom is like playing stinky Russian roulette

Some people swear by the stuff for making gas not stink, but for me, it's so hit-and-miss that it's like playing Russian roulette. Will this one go completed unnoticed? Or will it make my officemate evacuate to the hallway with lightning speed? Who knows; every fart is a mystery!

Check everything you are eating for sugar alcohols.  Some vitamins are loaded with them.

thanks 

As I sit in my office, I can't help but laugh at the way you worded this!  I don't have this issue (thank goodness) but my husband does and boy can he clean out a house/office/hotel you name it and people are flying out of window to get out of the area. LMBO  I had him get Devrom since I had read on here how well it worked and after a while I actually got on to him for not using it. Well, it turns out he was, he said it's not my fault sometimes it works and other times the smell escapes. LOL  He had RNY about 7yrs ago. Good Luck

I use Devrom but chew 4 pills at once;  sometimes it's absolutely necessary to overcome the SBDs.

Oh wow, I've been taking 2 a day. I wonder if I'm just not taking enough to combat the demons.

read the label

Don't over do it. 

"SBD"  = Silent But Deadly for those who haven't suffered from the sydrome.

I think that most people have better luck with identifying the food(s) causing the gas and eliminating those foods in order to eliminate the gas.  For many people, it is certain types of carbs (especially flour products) and sugar alcohols (which are in many "sugar free" foods).

I know that if I indulge in too many pretzels while watching football games, I am sure to have terrible gas the next day. My body also handles real sugar much better than items sweetened with sugar alcohols (which don't give me gas, but do give me intestinal cramping and diarrhea).
