Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hi all, For quite a few years now my son has had bad gas (smelly! frequent). It seems to get worse based on what he eats. Sugar sets it off big time. That makes me think yeast but I thought bad bacteria was behind gas. Any thoughts (does bacteria feed off sugar?)? Pancreatic digestive enzymes have helped put healthy weight on him but hasn't affected the gas. We tried a yeast protocol that really didn't seem to make a dent. VSL #3 probiotic might have made it worse. Not sure. I am now trying to again do heavy probiotis with Theralac. I really should just eliminate sugar. Easier said than done, of course. Now that he is in school (3rd grade), the social side effects of farting is huge. He has no gut pain as far as he knows. Stools are not loose. We chelate with DMSA/ALA. He is very verbal and able to tell me how he feels. No discomfort. Any help is appreciated. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
