Unfortunately this is one of the down sides of this surgery. Sorry I can't

help you. A good spray helps. In fact they have and oust spray you can carry

with you. Here is the web site.

I too experience this but am only 6 weeks out of surgery. Does it go away?

I can highly recommend that you go to Citracel tablets and Devrom

capsules. Devrom is and internal deoderant for people with

colostomies, etc. We have to stay with citracel, but the tablets are

much better for some of us than the powder. I buy the Devrom online.

It is a lifesaver. Good luck to you. Deborah

Hi,

I'm a little over one year out MGB.

I started with gas and bm issues at about 3 months out.

I currently use Devrom capsules, 200 mg, 3-4 before meals...works wonders.

You can order online...no script needed.

p.s. Devron is not sublingual

Dr Rutledge told me I could use the Citrucel pills I take 2 or 3 a day. We

do need our fiber. But I don't think that citurcell will actually help with

smells and such.

I have heard others say that when they eat some veggies like brocolli etc

and also sugary foods that causes the smells and the excess gas. For me its

popcorn. I can't eat popcorn without getting painful smelly gas.

I'm approximately 5 years post op. I have had ongoing problems with

smelly bowel movements and smelly gas. Does anyone know of any

sublingual meds to resolve this? Or a routine that is easier than

mixing the Citracel?

Is this Jen of Jen and Cat fame? If so please let us know how you are doing,

and Cat too.

There is a deodorizer, Devrom that you can take at meals that is supposed to

help. I am not sure if it works. Some say yes, others say no, but that might

be one idea. I think, for me, most gas is dependent upon what I eat. Sugar

is the worst...

No it doesn't go away. It gets worse as you add food. You will have to

watch and see what type of food triggers the smell or the gas. It is probably

one of the downsides of this surgery. Our food doesn't digest the way it use

to and doesn't stay in our bodies like before. Sooooooooooo the result is

only partially digest food comes out and low and behold the smell. Pleasant

subject. Hope this helps. I do now veggies and high sugar and fat can cause

some of this. We must keep our food as " clean " as possible.

Hugs,

At almost 6 years out I find that when I have more than a " normal "

amount of gas it is tied to what I ate ... and the same with the odor.

Over abundance of salad and " roughage " ... gas. Sugar and high fat

foods .... smell. If I eat " clean " I don't have much of a problem.

Try watching what you eat for a few days or a week and see if you can

tie odors and gas pains to certain foods. It is worth a shot. And,

like everyone else has said, Citrucel is for life .. not to

be " substituted " for something else... at least that is the

recommendation. We of course are always free to make our own choices.

I have had this since my first year. I think it lasted this long because I have

not been consistantly using fiber. I have been so focused on my job and family

that I have no energy left. I'm not working now so I'm trying to make better

choices and have a plan so that I can use it longterm.
