Smelly gas like sulphur and rotten eggs
Posted , 200 users are following.
Hi all. So embarrassed but don't know what else to do. I actually am getting seriously depressed as It Is so bad.
I have been getting really bloated and pass the most foul smelling gas ever, it stinks and lingers in the room. I'm having to air my bungalow every evening.
I eat relatively healthy, excercise regularly and am slim.
This has been going on solidly for 2 whole months. I have tried eating different things but i just keep getting this awful smell! Sometimes I feel like I'm going to shit myself!! I can't have people over and am scared to go out when I know I'll be in a small space. I gave up my job!!
I have had to do a stool sample, all clear. The doctors just say I have IBS. They gave me colofac (mebeverine) which did nothing! I don't know what the hell to do!!
PLEASE HELP

You probably have SIBO it's small intestinal bacteria try drinking ACV APPLE CIDER VINEGAR and Chia with lemon and honey cut down on sweet until you clear up it varies in every person but you'll see the notice in a week but it's like a daily regimen I've been in and out of hospital have had numerous colonoscopy I have several IBS I suffer from polyps and gasteritus everything I ate cause heartburn back pain bloody stools body ache once it became so bad I had surgery cause my adhesion we're trapping my intestines they cleaned me out I was in heaven for 3 months then it started again all this believe it or not is caused by STRESS and by eating to many sweets and greasy foods smoking and drinking once you have any stomach problems it feels like life is over cause doctors can't seem to know how to heal it they just tell you control your stress but how can you living in this crazy place called LIFE !!!! GOOD LUCK

Sorry all wrong for me, ACV APPLE CIDER VINEGAR and Chia with lemon and honey NO salicylates for me.( that's all high sals)
REAL Probiotics complete works for me & NO SUGAR at all. A new one that I find works on my gut is bone broth natural. no cider vinegar etc. doesn't taste real good but I slam it down quick & wash my mouth out.
Hope this helps as it not much fun having gut problems..

Hi All, I know what your are all saying, try the best Probiotic you can find, I have tried to say 2 brands that I have found to be very helpful but can't say brands, don't give up with the1st brand you try as they are not all the same. cut "all sugar" including fruit at least for now, if that doesn't help big time try FODMAP diet as well .
I hope this helps you all .

Go back to your doctor and ask for more tests and tell your doctor Colofac didn’t work. Smelly gas alone doesn't mean you have IBS. To have IBS, you would you have symptoms such as abdominal pain, change of bowel habit, and in some cases food intolerance. You may also get nausea, back pain and gas.

pippa you are correct. i dont have stomach bloatig, i dont have stomach cramps, i dont have bloody stool, no pain at all. no constipation, no diahrrea, The only thing i have is continous GAS, it smells really different from other farts. it goes on non stop. i have changed my diet, it stills did not stop, in fact the smell is increasing. my gastro said i have IBS, i disagree with him. i dont think its IBS. i noticed when i enter ahop, the ventilation starts instantly. whenever i enter a public bus, the ventilation starts automatically. This is strange

Are you eating gassy vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage or Brussels sprouts? Baked beans can also cause gas. Maybe try avoiding those foods and try Windeze. This is all I can think of.

Hi pappa, i dont eat gassy vegetables, i saw a nutritionist, i have changed my diet, it still persists. its even happening when i have no food in my stomach. That was the reason i said i doubt if its food. i have done different blood tests, it all came out good. no allergy, no food intolerance, no bacteria in my faeces. the only thig i have not done..CT SCAN and COLONOSCOPY., which should have been done in the first place. one of my Doctors said he doubts if its IBS, since the only symptoms i have is EXCESSIVE GAS, no bloating, no stomach cramps, no blood in faeces, no pains, constipation is on and off. i have tried all the available over the counter drugs, all not working, i tried a probiotic , it did not work as well. i want the scan and i want my back side/anus to be checked via the camera, i think that is where the problem is. probably a blockage somewhere

On off constipation sounds like bowel habit change which is an IBS symptom. Sometimes people have little or no pain with IBS but their symptoms focus on other things such as excessive gas . Perhaps consider this. If a colonoscopy shows nothing, your doctor will diagnose IBS since nothing else has shown up. I think if you had a bowel blockage, you would have more symptoms than just gas.

Hi, I can so relate to your issue, not always the strong odor though
thank goodness. I now days log all that goes into my mouth, solid or liquid.
Like your idea pertaining to milk and going to try this next
Good Luck and Please Share if you find any other help.

The ventilation system starting when you go into a shop or bus I think is mere coincidence. These systems are automatic and turn on regardless of who is entering a shop or bus.My bathroom fan activates when I turn the light on. Do not worry about this!

Hi pippa, i dont think its a coincidence, it has ot been happeing like this before. i spoke to a london bus driver about it, he told me when i entered the bus, He got a alert of GAS LEAKAGE, definitely i was GASSING. The ventilation starts automatically. it has been a nightmare

I haven't heard of this kind of reaction before. How did the bus driver get an alert of gas leakage?Did he have special equipment to detect it? Have any other bus driver told you about this or is it only this particular driver?Perhaps this driver was winding you up?

Hi papa, strange as well to me. it isnt just one bus, its all the public busses. immediately i step in, the ventilation automatically starts, at times two windows up ad down the bus buses automatically opens. i only approached one driver, at first, i taught it was the bus drivers that always puts it on, it was later i know it its automatic, it goes on by itself. The bus then gets very cold .He said when ever that happens, there is a sign they receive and its shows GAS. its even happening in shops, train station..

I sometimes get gas in shops and public places and have never experienced anyone turning on ventilation because of it. This doesn't add up to me; I still wonder if someone is having a laugh with you.
