Just wanted to shed a bit more light on the issue of gas/smell. Our intestines are full of bacteria and as a result so is our waste. And bacteria smell. I work in a microbiology lab and had to culture some gut bacteria found in cows. And wow the smell....:( So I think a large part of the smell is due to bacteria. Another factor that can affect it is fat malabsorption. Volatile fatty acids also stink - sort of like vomit. (know this from making media to culture bacteria in which requires VFAs..looks like sunny delight but stinks) So if there is fat in the stool it will probably add the the smell. Hey there,

I pretty much am not fun to be around from 6pm onward. I don't know why it waits until I'm NOT alone to erupt, but it causes frequent trips upstairs that don't require much from me. Since I'm not diabetic, I really don't watch what I eat as long as I eat. I got a prescription for Megase to increase my appetite and suppress my "I'm full" feeling - no doubt that doesn't help the bloated feeling on holidays :) Seriously, though, I wonder how bad people would smell and how much they'd fart if they had to eat as much as us. Let 'er rip. Just don't point it my way. There definitely is a difference based on what I eat. I pretty much am not fun to be around from 6pm onward.

Also, it got me thinking...I wonder if anyone else has the problem of being so bloated with gas, they just can't find room left in their tummies to actually EAT. And on top of that, why the hell do our doctors not seem to care about this problem? Surely there has to be something we can do besides "just deal with it." *sigh* I guess I'm going to have to try that fruits and veggies thing. Sounds like a plausible theory to me.

Even with enzymes, I don't digest protein very well=stinky farts. (I'm double deltaF508, so I have pretty bad pancreatic insufficiency.) I notice this when I'm lazy about not taking enzymes with snacks. It's probably also due to "slower" digestion and all the sciency reasons they said on the show you referenced. I'd imagine body builders have stinky farts, too--with all the protein shakes and bars. I think it’s the lack of digesting proteins completely that makes the stinky farts.
