I can't believe I almost forgot to post this. There was a newspaper article about charcoal panty liners for gas odor. Here is the website . They are really supposed to work. I am debating ordering them for really bad days. They seem pretty expensive.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Oh my gosh I never would have thought that such a thing would have existed! How did you come across that?? Thankfully I don't think I'll be needing them at this point in time, but if someone tries them tell us how they work because that just seems amazing that it could work!

I read about them and threatened my DH with them if he didn't stop smelling up the place. He doesn't have IBS but he's still the King of Farts!!

Certain foods will do that!
I think I will order them soon. They are $12.95 each but they say you can wash and reuse them for weeks. I can't decide if that is gross or not. But I really do believe they work.

Wow....it never ceases to amaze me the things they can think of these days!!

I'm lucky enough that my gas doesn't smell bad. I have lots of it but it's pretty much odourless unless I have a bug or something....the only thing I have to worry about is the noise!! LOL I wonder if they'll come up with something for that? A panty noise reducer or something....

had a skit once about that. When you farted the device would say intelligent things about news and politics.

that men who use them would have a greater appreciation for what we go through on a monthly basis.

Little Minnie,

I was looking at the other products on that site and at one point they say "No longer do you have to take Beano or Gasx or Innermint to curb your stomach gas or passing gas." I've never heard of Innermints so I found [url=http://www.innermint.com/]their site[/url. I posted an article about a French guy who was developing something like this a few months ago, but it appears they already exist (or maybe it's him!). Has anyone ever tried Innermints? Heard anything about it?

Am I volunteering myself to be the Guinea pig?
