Passing Gas

for the past 2 months I am passing gas with every single thing I put into my mouth..this is a smelly kind of gas.. It's affecting my life for the worse. Really.. including my sex life, in grocery stores in public standing in line. I don't pass gas if I don't eat, but we know gotta get some nutrition in. seems this all started when I drank some sour milk and hasn't stopped..this passing gas got worse, is it better to use beano with everything I eat or is the enzymes a better pick to help this?Yes I am making B M's every day....this is really bad..i know I am not the only one that's having this issue right?! thanks for any input..

I suggest you see a gastroenterologist and be checked for bacterial overgrowth or lactose intolerance which can come ona tangy stage of life.

It could be bacterial overgrowth.  Do you take probiotics?  I eat cultured yogurt every day.  Talk to your doctor about Flagyl.  If it's bacterial overgrowth it should help but you need to get on probiotics to keep things in balance or it will just come back again.

Or, it could be what you're eating.  Check your nutrition labels - look for sugar alcohols or any ingredient ending in 'ol' like Xylitol, Manitol, Sorbitol.  They're notorious for bloating, gas, and diarrhea.  Also try going dairy free for a few days - maybe you're lactose-intolerant.  

If you're having a serious problem and it's gone on for this long, your best bet is to contact your doctor.

these are all good suggestions thank you very much ..I didn't mention also that I have the rumbling going on

The "fake foods", not natural, processed can cause that. Too many carbs, SA are known to cause that.  Even too many fruits or vegetables cash do that.   I know that if I tried low fat almost vegetarian diet - the gas could kill me asndf my cat. Proteins, natural fats, non- sdtarchy veggies, plus great probiotics helps me.   Aftrifucial sweeteners, fake fats - or other junk foods - are no-no in my diet.  

how has your carb intake been? I find that carbs make the gas so much worse. Also, what sort of supplements are you taking? Any probiotics? That may help.
