RNY in 2009

Revision January 2016. I knew there was going to be consequences such as smelly, correction, FOUL flatulence and frequency in bowel movements. But OMG! Thank goodness Im single, cause they would run for the hills!!

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you been able to calm the situation down?

And before you ask, yes, I'm eating healthy and no sugar. In the beginning I got a little chuckle out of this, not so much now.

There are times when I cant tell I about to let one rip or if I need to run straight to the bathroom. Lately, its better to safe than sorry. 

Never EVER think it's just gas in the beginning. Sigh, learned that the hard way several times

What revision did you have?

Sounds like you might have bacterial overgrowth of the intestines.  Have you tried a course of Flagyl?  If you have and things get better then you have the answer.

In my case a revision was the only solution as I had a blind loop.  I could get rid of the overgrowth with Flagyl but it always came back and worse than before.

If the Flagyl fixes the problem than keeping up with probiotics may keep it from coming back but it takes a lot of probiotics and very regular intake of them.  

Best of luck, I can really relate, lol. Doxie

Probiotics can help. My dietitian says it is good to change up the brand periodically as they don't all have the same good bacteria in them.

Thank you :)
