Awful smelling stool and gas

My first few weeks home, I could not deal with Protein Shakes at all. The doctor had me on pureed boiled chicken that was boiled in chicken stock (watch for additives and sugar - avoid!). Keep carbs under 20g.

Konsyl is a no-sugar all-pysillum Fiber that you can put in Water mixed with a flavor packet and drink. Start with half or a quarter of recommended tsp amount of fiber. GasX or equivalent (not the chewables) is a must. Those bubbles come from your microbiome adjusting to your new situation.

I also keep matches in my home bathroom. My place of employment has more people sensitive to perfumes and sprays so I avoid using those. If I have to be present at a work situation, I just keep carbs very low for the day.
