My before and after pictures.

Yeah.. I was warned though when I got a DS that this is one of the side effects. I just watch what I eat and write everything down so I know what the culprits are quickly. One problem I'm still having sometimes (rarely though) is vomiting - also food related.

Also Dub is right. Keep the Febreeze handy. I also use PooPouri (spelling). Groupon has a deal on it right now. I've actually gotten my family on it too. Lol

I would move to egg whites and try eggs again later. I know people sometimes have problems with eggs. Also, try using myfitnesspal or lose it to keep track of your food. I didn't read the 4 months out part (sorry, sometimes I can't read LOL). But at 4 months, you're still pretty new so I would take it easy on certain foods. Take it easy. I'm a year out, and I'm finding I can eat more, but I still stick with Lactaid if I do any milk. I still stay away from Brussels sprouts, black Beans, etc. But I keep Beano pills handy just in case as well. Hopefully this will help with certain foods to avoid. http://www.everydayhealth.com/digestive-health/foods-that-cause-excessive-gas.aspx

You need to see your nutritionist. Which phase are you in? Are you writing your food down in a journal? If so, things that produce gas - milk, whey, beans, etc may need to go for a bit. Also Gas-X chewables and Lactaid chewables help me.
