Gas smells horrible



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone is anyone having any issues with horrible gas smells? If so what can I take or eat to make them not smell as bad. My family is sick and tired and it is embarrassing. Please help I'm desperate and didn't want to write this but I need any advice please and thank you in advance.

If you aren't having frequent bowel movements, your gas smells bad. Probiotics and staying regular is probably your best hope.

I had surgery Nov 11 it should be better by now but dr says this is one of the side effects to this surgery.

Blame it on your dog. Just tell everyone that your dog had bariatric WLS.

I have horrible smelling and tasting burps. I told my bariatric clinic and they didn't seem worried. Told me to try GasX but that's not getting rid of them. Have had them for 2 weeks now (I am 1 month out) and am trying probiotics now. So far I still have them...I'm not sure how long it takes for probiotics to work, have been taking them for 4 days. I am fed up so I feel your pain!

someone I know had the same thing.... Like clear a room gas. It wound up being gallstones and needing to have gallbladder out. Don't know if that's the case for you but may be worth looking into?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
