I take probiotics when things get a little icky! That helps a lot with gas pains and smells too! It's the same enzymes in yogurt which i try to eat everyday to keep healthy flora in my intestines...It's the unhealthy flora that give off the smelly achy kind of gas...Those flora LOVE LOVE LOVE sugar, crackers, pretzels, white carbs! So the less you eat of those things, the less smelly achy gas you will have too! Milk does this to many people too because of lactose which is a sugar..."milk sugar"...Probiotics help tremendously with lactose! Hope that helps...Plus it's natural and not a medicine! That's always my first choice personally! Meds second... Good luck

There is another product called Beano that you might want to check out at your local health food store. You put it on your food before you eat it. Especially on BEANS. It helps deal with the gas that comes from eating beans. It may also help with other forms of gas, I don't know. There is another medication that you can find relatively inexpensively at most pharmacies called simethicone. It will deal with just about ANY kind of intestinal gas. It doesn't help with the SMELL but it does help reduce the pressure. Another old time trick to actually reduce the STINK of your farts is Activated Charcoal. You can get this in Capsules so you aren't eating the 'Briquettes." This will soak up the stink of your farts but will make your stool look very dark so be prepared for that. To the best of my knowledge there are NO adverse side effects of consuming activated charcoal. It can also be used to clean impurities out of your system too so there are additional benefits to using it BESIDES getting rid of smelly farts. Hope this helps, Hugh

My remedy for decades of symptoms of IBS is capsule containing Champignon Mushrooms, also an internal deoderizor. This does not discolor your stool and has the added benifit of fiber volume. I order a product called PRO-M from www.naturalhealthconsult.com and this has kept what my family, presumably lovingly, calls my "silent killers" under control since the year 2000, before my RNY. About 11 months out (Dec 2007) my gyn had me try a medication and it seemed toaggrevate the IBS and especially the gas odor. I got some of the DAVROM and used it as needed (3 to 4 a day). I stopped the medication in February and things are almost back to my "normal". Hope this helps.

Why would you want "really smelly gas/ bowel movements?" Just kidding. Add more fiber to your diet, it worked for me.
