Gas odor is off the HOOK~Help~

Doesn't matter what I eat my gas odor is off the hook. That nasty lingering room clearing god awful smell. I only eat protein, no milk, no sugar. I can't for the life of me figure out why I smell so bad. I'm going to call my dr on Monday. In the mean time should I jump on the Devrom band wagon or what? What do you all do and where do you buy it? Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Definitely talk with your surgeon. It's possible you have bacterial overload in your colon and might respond to a brief course of flagyl. And you are still early out, things often improve with time.

Try Yogurt and probiotics

Yogurt really helps on several fronts. 

I also started taking probiotics.  I've tried several different brands of probiotics, but Garden Of Life makes a line called Ultra Primal Defense.  It's expensive, but you get what you pay for.  It really works. 

I noticed that the probiotics really cut down on the gas, and the odor is greatly reduced.  And I feel better when I eat yogurt and take the probiotics in general. 

I've not had to resort to Flagyl yet.  I'm saving that for when nothing else works and it really should be a last resort. 

What kind of yogurt do you all eat? Everything I look at seems to have too many carbs and or sugar in them.

I eat yoplait whips. I just make sure I don't over indulge in other carbs.

Are you using lots of artificial sweeteners? I can't use them anymore they gave me painful gas and stinky too.
I also second the probiotics.
I use Fage plain Greek yogurt and sweeten it with All Fruit jam or something like that. The carbs and sugar in this brand are from the natural milk sugar. There is no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

I"m taking a chewable probiotic but maybe I need to try a different one. I don't use artificial sweeteners I learned that very early on they give me severe gas pains. I drink my protein and water that's it. I only eat protein, no carbs, no sugar. I'll get some yogurt and hope that helps. Thank you everybody for your input I really appreciate it.

You may have to try several different probiotics to find one that works for you. The one that worked for me was Ultra Primal Defense. It is a bit costly but well worth it. I also work in an office environment and was very thankful for it. the first 2 to 5 days may be very uncomfortable while starting on it as the "good" bacteria fights the "bad" bacteria but after that it smooths right out.

I have also went on Flagyl on several occasions to eliminate the bacterial overgrowth. Many doctors are a little leary of using this method. I am lucky enough to have a doctor who is willing to learn about us DSers needs and is working with me.

Good Luck,

I will get some ultra primal defense and start using it.  I have used Barleans and like it well enough but I have heard a lot of good things about ultra primal defense.  Thanks!
