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

I wonder if the ventilation in buses comes on to expel diesel gases and it is nothing to do with you at all. it. I read online that some bus drivers do this, I can't find anything online that describes your situation. I think this is a more likely explanation. Since you are naturally highly sensitive to passing gas, you may be overthinking it. Personally, I would relax and try to put all of this out of your mind and don't worry. You are not the only one that pssses smelly gas.

Really ? i will speak to another bus driver about it. you have a point about me overthinking it. its really giving me sleepless nights. its affecting me at work now. The mere fact is its going on non stop, continously is affecting me psychologically. pippa are you a medical doctor?

Some foods can be gassy; try a food to see if that is causing the farts.

Hi pippa. i have seen the nutritionist twice, i have followed the Fodmap procedure. food is not the cause of my symptoms. even without eating anything all day, the gas still comes out. The nutritionist also said it a well, its not food. The strange thing is i am not bloated, no stomach cramps, no blood in poo, no pain, no weight loss. no constipation,..the only thing is GAS. and its the silent one, you wont hear any sound. its coming out 24/7 which is strange. its very high when am walking or running. one doctor even suggested to me it may be something else

Maybe try anti gas tablets such as Windeze. What did your doctor suggest could be causing the gas?

i have tried all. it still not working. i have seen three consultants gastro..al seems not to know what is causing it. all the blood test was clear, the flexible signoscopy i had few weeks ago was clear as well. The consultant had to discharge me and refer me back to my Gp. Now i dont even know what to do

All you can do is to try seeing different GPs.

i think, i hope i have. i went to the gastro and waiting on a colonoscopy and endoscopy but in the meantime he told me to stop metamucil (which i have been taking for 20 yrs with no problem for my ibs) amd start citrucel instead. i rolled my eyes but did it just to say i dod what he said and my atomach improved overnight. if there is any medication/ food/ fiber additive you take daily, maybe try cutting one out at a tome to see if it helps. i was in such bad shape constantly for months, i truly thought i had cancer or something. im still going to do the other testing but for now i have to believe this is the answer

i had constant gas, rotten egg gas, i was bloated and felt very uncomfortable and stomach pains constantly. I also had very mucousy and looser stools than normal and more than normal. It was inly every once in a while which progressed to a cycle of 2 days on and 2 off to constant every single day.

Thank you allyson, i did not have any of the symptoms above. i have constant GAS which goes on non stop, its not really a bad smell, but it chokes. no bloating, no stomach pains, but i want to tell my GP to allow me to do Endoscopy and Abdominal cramps. Its strange to the Doctors as well cos i do not have IBS symptoms apart from the GAS
