is this a stinky gas cure/help?

[lessismore1001 30]

Has anyone heard of or used Devrom. It's an internal deodorant? Success stories?

I am sooo hoping someone says yes - I am getting desperate.

I've heard of it but have never tried it (I never had a gas issue). I know some people find cutting way back on carbs and/or sugar alcohols can help with gas, too.

Have you taken Probiotics since surgery? Those might help break down your foods and, therefore, lessen gas.

I'm a big fan of Beano

[lessismore1001 30]

do you take beano at every meal because it doesn't work just taking it whenever.

The only dairy I had today was a Cappuccino and small Cereal - leaving most of the milk and OMG today has been vile. Honestly, I just don't want to leave home...that bad

I found my problem was the Protein Bars I was eating. Since I stopped eating them my stink has pretty much disappeared along with the constant loose stools. If you're using Protein supplements check what's in them - the ones I was using were full of sorbitol and manitol and a variety of artificial ingredients that my small intestine didn't like much.

I find sugar alcohols and other artificial sweeteners make me gassy and they also cause me to crave carbs so I don’t consume them anymore. Problem solved. YMMV

I’ve heard of Devrom but have never tried it. I think folks in the DS Surgery Forum may have more experience with it so you might try posting your question over there.

Good luck!

P.S. Eating processed food /simple carbs (e.g. cereal) could also be contributing. I would minimize eating them as they may impair weight loss & maintenance, and could cause smelly gas. Do you have the issue if you just eat dense Protein and vegetables and nothing else?

I'd try taking it with every meal, take at least 3 pills. It may not work for you, but worth giving it a shot

Let us know if the Devrom works'

I know this wont help with the gas but may mask it in the restroom.
