Awful GAS ODOR!!
I just have to ask this embarrassing subject - does anyone else have TERRIBLE gas??!! I had surgery 7 weeks ago and by the end of the day I have so much gas and not so sweet smelling - it's hard because I'm around people at work - my daughter will hardly be in the same room as I am - does anything work to help - Gas X, Devrom?? I went back to work and it is hard because i end up with a stomach ache holding it all in. I appreciate the help!
there are foods that will cause that:
carbs, milk, beans, raw veggies, even cooked veggies, too much fat, and last but not least - Sugar alcohols. (some chewable vitamins have SA - so watch for that).
try to eliminate foods and add one at a time to see what is causing the gas. I can't eat beans or anything with sugar alcohols (SA) even SF chewing gum will cause me a lot of pain.

All of the above. If Costco sold chewable GasX, I'd buy it in bulk! I also take Devrom - - had embarrasing gas that make the outdoor running group I run with turn to each other and say "what's that smell? Trash? Porta-potty?" and I was loathe to own up to it!
If the gas is food-based, think about taking Beano or charcoal tabs (available at vitamin stores). I buy Devrom thru Amazon, as I'd never been able to find it in a store. Veggies are important when you're further out but I too have noticed that if I up my carbs, the gas gets worse (as in smellier).

Has anyone that takes Devrom noticed that your stools are black and tarry? When I started taking Devrom my stools turned super black and as soon as I stopped taking it they went back to normal. I was just wondering if you stayed on the Devrom would your stools eventually turn back to normal color or stay black?
It's part of it. At five years out, nearly, and fiance' seven or so years out our poor little dog's olfactory capacities have got to be severely compromised! Some days it can be so bad I could run a hose up my ass and I could keep a cutting torch burning all day!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
