 I went after Christmas shopping yesterday, and yes, ate the wrong foods during Christmas. Went into Kohl's. Was in the back looking at toddler dresses when stomach took on that all-so-familiar roll. Looked around, no one anywhere in site, and let it go. Got out of that section ASAP and walked the aisles a bit, because as we all know, that stench stays with us for a bit. Went into another section when this woman came from the little boys section which she came out of rapidly exclaiming that there was an awful stench coming from something in that area. She said it had to be a something since there wasn't anyone over there! My stench had traveled across 2 different sections and was still holding on! Hate this part of it!

There's a product on the market called Devrom that really helps neutralize gas odor. It's an internal deodorant. You will still have gas, but it won't peel the paint off the walls any more. ;D www.devrom.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCat_h.asp?idCategory=3It's cheaper to buy it off their website if you buy in bulk quantities. I like the chewable ones because they're moer convenient to take. You might want to buy 1 bottle from your local pharmacy first to see how you like them. |

So hate it when that happens!  You may want to try a good probiotic. I use primal defense ultra. Nothing else seems to have an effect on me. But be warned the first few days to a week can be uncomfortable after starting a probiotic until your system adjusts. SH |

I've gotten really good at looking innocent and casting evil accusatory glances towards an unsuspecting bystander.

Devrom didn't work at all. Wasted money. First, try an elimination diet. One day, chicken only. Each day, add a favorite food, until you find the culprits. Second the vote for probiotics. I start every day with Greek yogurt. We've all had our days. Some are pretty funny like clearing out a train to get a seat. Some are mortifying, like being with your boss in an elevator.Don't go into this thinking it won't ever be a problem but, also know it gets very manageable as time goes on. Eat carefully, no problems. Eat recklessly, and you won 't be able to go everywhere. Walking briskly outdoors clears them out and that works for a few hours, so take "cigarette" breaks at work if you're having a bad day. I know RNYers who have it as bad or worse. You'll find your safe foods and live your life without major issues after the first year. I'm 7 years out and have absolutely no regrets. There have been bumps in the road, but with diabetes prep, I'd probably be in kidney failure or blind by now. Looked at it that way, a little foul air once in a blue moon is nothing.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I do take Primal Defense Ultra, just take one a day, maybe I should take more.

While I do like Primal Defense, there are different things in the different probiotics. I have much better luck mixing them up, to make sure I get as many types as possible, and I'm more stink free than my normie fiance. |

I let go a particularly heinous fart in a Pay Half store downtown. I heard people commenting on the smell after I speed-walked to a different section. You know what? You've gotta laugh at this stuff. Every living person has cleared out a room with a fart at one time.

This is true. A girl made me hurl one time with her disgusting gas. I'll never forget that. :\ God, it was awful... but hilarious.

I take 3 Primal Defense Ultra. I used to have horrid IBS pre-op and was shocked when the symptoms pretty much vanished when I started taking it pre-op.
I do still get gas, but it is pretty controllable. I do bring Gax-X or something else with Simethicone if I am going to be out and about, just as insurance.

Everyone is different. I swear by Devrom. I take 2 before each of my main meals (3x per day) plus i take 2 primal defense ultra every morning. Yes I still have gas and sometimes it can be pretty stinky, but overall I wouldn't go a day without either of them. I get Devrom directly from Parthanon (they're the cheapest). I save a little by buying 12 at a time. I get the probiotic from amazon.

My probiotic of choice is Florajen3. I didn't have any positive results with Primal Defense Ultra. I take one Florajen3 in the morning and I'm good to go. I rarely have gas. I do limit the wheat I take in but I'm not rigid about it.
