My husband always told me it was all in my head, when I would say that some kind of smell made my belly "act up." I started to believe him, but asked my GI doc anyway, about smells, and he said that smells directly affect your intestinal tract. They can bring on the spasms and "attacks" depending on how sensitive your IBS symptoms are. Now, my husband just tries to find ways to make me feel better when the smells are too much. Where we live in California is surrounded by farm land, and they are forever fertilizing it and harvesting, and the smells are from one extreme to another...I have a super hard time driving down the road when my belly is on edge.

Sorry for rambling. In a nutshell, I just wanted to say the smells get me too.
