Robert Randolph Brinson's Expert Contributions
Why is my body emitting a very strong eggy odor /fart smell?
Yes, this is not an uncommon problem. This is usually associated with bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine or malabsorption or both. If you are not losing weight, I would recommend getting off gluten in your diet and take an antibiotic for 21 days that covers bacteria in the intestine, either Vibramycin or Xifaxan for 21 days and see if it makes a difference.

Is there a cure for IBS?
Yes, there are some significant things you can do to improve your symptoms. The presence of mucous is common in patients that are sensitive to gluten. That would be a good first step. If you go gluten-free, I believe many of your symptoms will resolve in 2 or 3 weeks. READ MORE
