I've been passing constant gas for 5 months. I've tried digestive enzymes, probiotics, activated charcoal, chloryphll pills, pepto bismul, peppermint pills, olive leaf extract, beteine HCl. Got tested for celiacs, H Pylori, liver, thyroid, et cetera.
My symptoms are...
-constant foul smelling gas
-some oil in my stools
-the gas smells different depending on what i eat
-sometimes the gas smells LIKE the food i eat. if i eat pineapple, it smells like pineapple. if i eat sushi, it smells like sushi.
-once i ate an apple, the gas was horrible
-once i ate 2 bananas, the 2nd banana gave me horrible gas
-simple carbs with lots of sugar gives me gas with a distinct smell
- the other day i ate a serving of cottage cheese and it gave me diahrrea in 1/2 hour (ive always been partially lactose intolerant but this has NEVER happened before)
-If I fast for a day, the amount of gas increases!
-RIght after a big meal, it's worse than usual
i can't really eat anything! i'm trying to go on a low fat diet now since it seems that fat is definately a problem since i can see it in my stools! any idea what's wrong with me?
should i take MORE digestive enzymes?
I got a biopsy for celiacs. came back negative. the doctor said my small in testines looked great! why am i not absorbing fat?? I am NOT losing weight. So obviously I am absorbing enough calories. I still think it's SIBO (small intensinal bacterial overgrowth) but I'm taking overthecounter antibiotics and it's not helping! I've gotten advice to cut out meat. I've gotten advice to cut out carbs. OK, if I cut out both, there's nothing left. >.>
If anyone has the same problem and wants to talk, send me a message.
