Awful smelling wind and floating stools

ibs sufferer for 15 odd years. Recently started citalopram and around 3 weeks later i started getting sulphur smelling wind most days, this would start early afternoon and get progressively worse until bedtime. i have been more constipated but even after a bit of a clear out my wind has still smelt horrific. For the last 10 days all of my stools have been floating where as they usually sink.

As the wind starts at lunchtime i have ruled out certain foods that i thought may cause it - fruit juices, bread, cut down dairy, whatever i eat at breakfast makes zero difference.

i have started drinking kefir to improve my gut health and peppermint capsules but it doesnt shift the wind or floating stools. i am reluctant to take charcoal which is good for wind as i believe this may absorb the effects of the citalopram i use.

previously had colonoscopy and stool samples done although could this sound like a bug in my gut or does it just sound like ibs potentially made worse by the citalopram (i cant really find any links about citalopram and ibs anyway).
