Sorry you are going thru this...25 does seem really short.  Is the odor just from gas or is it coming from elsewhere on your body?

I'm told it eminates from my body and I have tested and eliminated ketosis.  My proteins and carbs are pretty well balance most of the time.  I have to think it is the short bowl issue but wondered if anyone else has had the problem as well.  I actually have to go home from work when it presents itself.
Thanks for your response.

There was someone on the DS board a couple of years ago that talked about having an odor coming from her body. She had a revision of her intestinal limb lengths and it has apparently fixed the issue. She really went through it too. I want to say Dr Keshesian, or one of the California surgeons, was her revision surgeon.

I'll see if I can find her posts and link you back to them.

I remember that person and her issue but not her name. She went to Dr. Keshishian.

Most DSer's are infamous for wall paint-peeling farts and BM odor, regardless of common channel length. 

Many have gone gluten-fee and swear that helps.  I just avoid simple carbs and simple sugars.

Is this a body odor you're referring to, due to deficiencies, or bowel odor?  If it's the latter, that's part of the package with a DS.

Make Devrom your best friend - it's an internal deodorant that was originally developed for ostomy patients, but it works to take the stink out for us. www.parthenon.com is the company link.  They come in chewables and capsules.  My personal preference is the capsules, because the xylitol in the chewables makes me gag!

I'm not familiar with the protein shots that you're drinking so I looked them up. It's collagen protein which is very poor protein source for us. You need whey protein. Vitalady, Michelle, reviews the different protein courses .

Right now I take 50,00o vit A and 100,000 vit D a day. I also have two protein shakes a day....each being around 35 grams of protein, early out I was doing 3-4 a day.

OK, I was afraid of that though not knowledgeable enough to determin that.  The other protein source I have used and have available currently is Unjury.  I know that should be a good source, right? 
What did you say (if you did) your channel measures?  Can you give me an idea of one day of food intake for you?  In orther words, what do you usually eat each day?
