Off/on malodorous flatulence



Recommended Posts

So I was wondering if any fellow banders have the same issues that I am having. I suffer from Crohn's disease (an autoimmune intestional condition) that already can cause problems. So could it just be the new "protein first" diet? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't know if it's due to my skinnier butt cheeks, but(t) some have escaped recently in social settings and OMG that never used to happen. I was mortified.

I guess in the grand scheme of things it's just another one of those #skinnypeopleproblems.

It's probably related to the high Protein diet.

Thanks JustWatchMe, I haven't had the pleasure of "skinnier butt cheeks" syndrome yet, but maybe one day. Hopefully this will get better, but if not I guess I will continue to laugh it off. I have done that since being a little kid, always found it funny. Thanks again for replying.

Wait ... are you saying that you get to have days when you DON'T have gas that could bring down a herd of t-rexes??!!?? How did you get to be so lucky?? Honestly, I feel like this is the new "normal".

I had terrible I.B.S. before surgery & it got better but I still have a lot of gas especially when I eat certain foods , I also try to be close to a Restroom just in case because I never know for sure if it's just gas but the I.B.S. is not as bad as it used to be .

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
