I truly hope someone can have some suggestions. I am suffering from candida problems and working with a naturopath with antifungals,supplements,diet etc. I can seem to get some relief from my other symptoms but not my gas problem. I have within the last few months started emitted exceptionally foul smelly gas especially after i eat, but sometimes anytime! I am to the point where I try to avoid being around other people as much as possible as I am constantly humiliated, which is basically impossible. My classmates have noticed this and are now talking and poking fun at me behind my back. I am devistated by this. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't go out socially anymore and definately not out to eat as I have way too many embarrassing evenings. And now I even avoid being around my friends. I am getting extremely depressed at this point as I am normally a very social person. It seems I have tried everything. My ND has had me stop all treatments as they are probably too hard on my non-existent digestive system right now. I am even trying gas-x after I eat and that gives little help.I am at the point where I don't want to eat anymore as that will decrease (not eliminate) the amount of gas I expell. I am tired of people laughing at me and wondering what the hell is wrong with me! I would stay home 24/7 at this point if I could just to avoid the humilation and ridicule which people don't realize that I DO hear. I am at my wits end! I apologize for the rant, but I just don't know what to do anymore, digetive enzymes do nothing for me, I can't find particular foods that are better. I am only better in the morning as I normally have a bowel movement and eat very little then. (also suffer from chronic constipation!) and by noon I am starving but don't want to eat because I know the consequences of the afternoon to come. I am at a loss.

Desperately,
Josey
