ok.. nope not experiencing it, but i can kind of let you know whats going on.. basically because you are not intaking a lot of food anymore, your body now has time to remove the plaque build up on your intestinal lining... thats where you are getting the smell from and probably the greasiness.

drinking lots of Water will help dissipate the smel and actually help get rid of the plaque quicker.

hope that helps

This has started happening to me just this week.... However, I have increased my water and thought maybe that was part of the problem. I will take it though! I also kind of think it may be some of the really though to get rid of fat working it's way out of our systems. At least I hope so. :)

oh man Im glad you posted this, I have been wondering about it it happens to me and has since surgery your explanations makes sense. thanks guys

it definitely is some of the fat being expelled from your body, and actually the water will help flush that out more quickly. But also exercise will help to.. because it will force your muscles to contract causing them to move the gunk inside you to move as well. ... you will notice this from time to time but its nothing to really worry about... i guess you can say its a good thing... you know unless you are eattin a lot of hard boiled eggs in which case... its probably the sulfer! lololol
