bad breath, stinky gas, bloating oh my!

So....hubby wants to install an industrial exhaust system in our house this week. I have horrible smelling gas and bms are stinky and slimy. Even my breath smells (and tastes) like the local waste disposal company. Hmmm....my conclusion is some bacterial issues....but GI says no. So....self treatment starts again...yeah not the best idea, but I love my husband and sort of like the rest of the folks around me. I just can not be making people run for the hills! Or maybe the pitchforks are coming!
Upside...this coincides with the nerve pain sparking back up and esophageal issues....I am losing weight! My jeans are big on me fresh from the laundry. Being a fat chronie, this is good news for me. I am going to celebrate my forced diet and the fact that at least weight wise I will be healthier....

Dikid - we all know it is some sort of infection.....well except my GI who refuses to agree. I get this, go to get tested, bms harden up, tests are all normal, "you are fine", months/weeks later all these things come back again, and the circle of life starts again. That is why I resort to self care....takes out the middle men....as best as I can. I really just want to be on xifaxin....sigh...

So do you have access to xiafan yourself? I still kind of think I have an infection, but my stool sample which was pure liquid D, came out negative. I've taken the cholestyramine for two days not and I feel gassy, constipated bloated and can't poop now. So I'll stop for a couple of days and try again. I hope you feel better soon!
