I know this is a really crude question, but I just have to know...

Since the liver is involved in processing everything that goes into our bodies, I'm wondering if my having hep c is the reason for a problem that has been getting worse and worse these past few months. How do I say it? hmmmmmmmm  Here goes..... when I pass gas, it smells like something died... and I'm gassy all day every day. I know what used to cause it, and it doesn't help to avoid the normal culprits. Has anybody else noticed this problem and found a solution?

Hi Diane,

I can't remember ever seeing HCV being associated with gas pre-tx and don't think I had a problem with it during tx. I really didn't eat much during tx, though, and maybe that kept things quiet down there.

I think there was a gas thread (!), which was a lot of fun for the folks involved. Maybe  someone has the link.

Are you possibly getting too MUCH fiber in your diet?

Anyway, the garage could be a nice little escape for you from the family, when you find you want to get away from them.

It was surprising how little I wanted to see my guys during treatment; you may just find they annoy you, once those gorgeous pills and injections start playing with your disposition. And then the gas will sure come in handy to shoo them away.

I agree with copyman - increase your probiotics - yogurt is a good source.  When I saw the subject, I knew this thread would get out of hand or should I say out of ####

"..beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts. "

I call foul. Someone's buying the wrong brand of beans if that's the case.

Annie - I don't know whether to be flattered or shamed....
