smelly intentional gas

Hi @boces. I can understand how frustrated you must be. What have you tried to combat the gas? Have you consulted a GI specialist?

Here are some lifestyle tips from Mayo Clinic- http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gas-and-gas-pains/basics/lifestyle-home-remedies/con-20019271.

Also, @emmur16 do you have any tips for @boces?

I have Crohns disease (But dont suffer badly with it anymore) and i had the same problem a few years ago. My gastro at Barts in London diagnosed bacteria overgrowth. I Was eating a lot of green leafy veg as I thought it was healthy and good fibre etc. But my bowel couldn't process it, so,it just built up,and fermented, consequently awful,foul smelling,and hot!, gas. I was put on an anti biotics for a couple of weeks to,kill it,off (I took a good Symbiotic at the same time) and stopped eating all the greens. Now i avoid leafy green veg. There are,plenty of other veggies and fruit i can eat and my dietician is happy with it.

Have you been in a foreign country or camping outdoors recently. It <br>sounds to me like you may have gotten an atypical organism (yeast, <br>fungus, bacterium, protozoan) into your digestive system. Giardia comes <br>to mind, which one can get from drinking from backcountry streams. It <br>can cause horrific smells. You may wish to see your physician ASAP.<br>
