You say you have been tested for wheat allergy. Were you also tested for celiac disease at the time? A true wheat allergy is rare, but intolerance to gluten is more common. They are different tests. In addition to the colonoscopy, you should request and endoscopy and a biopsy for celiac disease. Celiac affects a very specific part of the intestine and unless the doctor is looking for it, he may not catch it. However, I have read that wheat is a common IBS trigger. I used to react badly to wheat and eliminated it for 8 years, until I began taking medications prescribed by my GI specialist. While I have never heard of the constant odor, I do go through periods of having constant gas and it is quite embarrassing. It was really bad when I was in high school. Have you eliminate dairy, soy, hard to digest veggies like broccoli, spinach, onions and garlic?
