I know from experience that IBS can cause a lot of problems with gas. I frequently experience bloating and cramps from gas, but now and then like right now, I have this horrific smelling gas. I mean, really super bad...it smells like sulfur mostly but also other putrid, sour smells and it is super strong. This is sort of freaking me out because it has been going on for several days and I can't think of anything out of the ordinary I have been eating everyday for the past week. Does anyone know if this indicates a bacterial infection or something more serious that needs immediate attention?? I am not having any pain, so I don't know if I really need to go to the doctor right now...I'm the type of IBS with the chronic constipation, but a large bowel movement in the last day or so hasn't stopped this constant smelly gas. Besides alarming, it is embarrassing too. It is hard to control and clears a room faster than anything. The smell is literally nauseating and I don't know what to do!! Any advice? Should I see my gastroenterologist right away or will it pass? Is there anything I can eat or not eat that will help?
