There are "panty liners" sold that completely isolate and eliminate the chemicals that cause the odor in human gas. I have heard wonderful things about these pads.

I would talk to a doctor about a new treatment called Solesta. It was approved by the FDA just last May, and is meant to cure incontinence when it comes to gas or fecal matter. There has been great success with it in Europe for a few years already.

Its been almost 4 years now and the only remedy I have is the lemonade diet.  After about 4 days of the liquid diet usually on the 5th or sixth day I have some relief and can go out with friends.  I take a butt load(no pun intended) of probiotics as well during that period: two different kinds.  I also have to workout like crazy during that period so that my body metabolizes rapidly and sweats out all the toxins in my body that make me smell real bad.  As soon as I eat something, my uncontrollable flatulence returns.  Then I have to restart that process if I ever want to leave my house again.  The anxiety of just going to the store is killer.  Riding on a plane is the worst ever.  I've been asked to leave several times.  I don't want to kill myself cause I can't so that to my Mom.  If she wasn't around I would have offed my self years ago.

Flatulence Remedy - Home Remedies. Very often you can use good
old bicarbonate (baking soda) to help. Add it to water with some
lemon and some salt than  drink it.like a tablespoon of baking soda and add a lot of water i put like 3 or 4 normal size lemons.... it really does help

I'm going through the same thing. I've been to the doctor, she said I was faking it and gave me depression pills. I'm currently on a gf diet, it has helped, but not much.

You are not alone.. i too suffer from this.
Rockbottom, tony, and the alias "dyinAlilEachDay",just to name a few people who i found through these forums 2 years ago also suffer from this horrible disease.

I've been suffering for about 10 years now.  im 19 years old.  My high school life and social life in general was cut back.  The thing was i wasnt teased about this in school.  but i did have some embarrasing incidents in class where i wanted to kill my self.  

I dont know what to tell u as i dont know what to do myself.


Steps i took to try to fix it.
1. i used to do enemas every morning.  I figured if i can get all the bowels out of my system....i wouldnt be able to emit these odors.  However i think daily enemas might have damaged/ made my situation worse.

2. i tried taking gas x and other stuff to make my bowels hard (because i have ibs and i have very loose stools).  I noticed... that with harder stools the odors were reduced/nonexistant on some days..however i still emit odors so this didnt work either.


Everyday i think back and wonder why should i even live.  
Basically with this problem life is not worth living.
But i try to look at it on a positive side.
**** dude are you kidding me? is the reason i wanna kill myself
is over smelling bad?  i have not had a chance to live the world yet.

If you think about it, we are worried about others smelling us and therefore we are embarrassed and we get depressed because we are not normal.  But we are human.  we have emotions feelings and needs.  i want to experience the world before i just kill myself.  that gets me nowhere.  im dead and i dont know what love means and what life is all about.  

So by killing myself i will just take the easy road.  ofcourse we are not living a normal life.  we are isolating ourselves but we want to express ourselves yet we dont want to get a bad image of ourselves by smelling bad.  Im trying to be optimistic as i can. I have hope that 1 day somebody will be able to help us.  The problem is not enough people are asking for help.  anyways just hang in there

Have you had any testing done at all, and if so which tests? Have you discussed this with a doc yet" What's your diet like? Do you find that any foods make things better or worse? Are you constipated or experiencing bowel habit changes? Are you on any medications? What have you tried?

Any underlying medical conditions? Have you been on any courses of antibiotics?
