I have the same condition and know what you feel like. It got to the point where I was embarrassed to be with anyone. It got much much better lately. two points: 1)it is definitely caused by food you eat and therefore can be controlled by extreme eliminating of all such foods. 2)when the gas is really bad, it can be relieved by a BM even when you don’t feel like you need one. I eliminated the following foods and saw dramatic improvement: all legumes, meaning no more cholent, no falafel, no split pea soup, no corn, no humus. Also no more fresh lettuce, no broccoli, no citrus juice, no bananas. It wasn’t easy because that was basically what I was eating on my weight loss diet. I saw a tremendous improvement. For a temporary solution, try activated charcoal pills. It absorbs the gas but you don’t see results instant; maybe in about an hour or two. Google activated charcoal there’s lots of products that absorb odors with various uses. Check it out and hope you feel better soon!
