[cheesedoften 0]

feeling great, lost 100 plus lbs since surgery. biggest issue i have is the gas and flatulence that occurs too often. stinky farts all day mostly. at times accompanied with loose bowel movements. any thoughts idea on how to stop this or at least control it. is there any specific pro biotics or digestive enzymes i may need. help would be appreciated. thank you.

This is what the Nutritionist told me to take for that.

If you're using sugar free products with sorbitol this might be the reason.

Seconding this. Even the mild sugar alcohols cause me to have a reaction. The only artificial sugar that I do not have an issue with is Splenda.

OMG! Thank you for posting about this topic. This is one of the things I'm most worried about, lol! I don't want to be a farting machine at work carrying around a bottle of febreeze! 😂

I'm having the same issues 7 months out, yes it could be sugar alcohols in some Protein Bars and ice cream bars. But it just started. Will try the Probiotics that Ed listed. Thanks
