Smelly GAS!

Ok, bit of a TMI thing, but I know I've seen posts about this. The last few days my gas has been horrific ... Almost makes me gag! Is it time for a round of antibiotics to get rid of bacteria?? I haven't changed my diet at all, so it's not a food related thing.  BM's are fine, not having diarrhea, but man ... I can clear a room in no time!!! Not a great feeling. Any thoughts from the experts!?

Try taking a really good probiotic. I find when I use a good probiotic the gas isn't nearly as "smelly." It seems to help restore some of the good gut bacteria. When I don't take it- look out.

 

Don't get antibiotics right away. They're so hard on your gut/body! Have you tried being gluten-free? Dairy-free? Stopping all fruits and vegetables? Cutting out all sugar? If you take antibiotics you'll also kill all the good bacteria which will leave you with even bigger problems.

Seriously - take a hard look at food. 

Onions, dairy, straight milk, whey, artificial sweeteners (including gum).  All of these, in small amounts or abundance, can cause issues, and some are hit or miss.

When my bacteria is out of whack, I can tell by the smell of the stoool - hard to describe, I just know.  I also experience a LOT of bloating and watery poo.

 

Oh I feel your pain!  I have found that its usually something that I've eaten, usually some type of sugar or fake sugar.  If you really need some relief you can try Devrom that stops the smell for most people.

Good luck!
