|  Devrom anyone??
I was wondering if anyone tried Devrom. It is suppose to eliminate the odor from all this gas  I'm having? I wanted to see what others thought before I put the $$ out.
Thanks

I've read before about people having some probs with this..Most assuredly look at WHAT you are eating before investing in that..
it's been plenty of time for the surgical related gas to have dissipated from your body..sooo..carby stuff, hidden sugar..
SUGAR will def give you gas. Make sure what you are drinking if it's liquids, doesn't have sugars..and that includes FRUIT juices.

At your point, the cause of the odors are most likely ketosis and the ketones being released from the rapidly melting fat. So, it's important to get in a lot of water to flush the ketones out.

I see that this is an old post, but I just recently heard about devrom from a post and I have tried it with great success! Since I asked around I have heard of people with iliostomies and IBS using it, too, with good results. Apparently, some bariatric centers also carry it.
I'm wondering why it doesn't seem very well known....
Pricing seems to vary a lot from website to website, but the best I found was on the their own website.
I'm curious to hear if others have tried it and what their experience was with it. Of course, it's still important to watch what you eat. I eat a lot of beans, so I do have GAS!

I use it, too, and it actually works!! My DH was ready to lock me in the garage because of the horrible gas!  The pills are chewable and taste like apple. I got it at my Weight Loss Center and they were $20 a bottle. You can also order it direct from their website: www.devrom.com. I think it's the same price there, but you have to pay for shipping. Now I will tell you, I became lactose intolerant after surgery and a lot of my gas was related to that when I didn't understand that I was having this horrible reaction.  I do still pass gas, but it's not NEARLY as vile as it was before using Devrom and avoiding dairy!!

I think Devrom is great! Wish I would have known about it sooner. Would have avoided lots of embarrassment !. ...I know one poster said her gas would peel paint off the walls! My farts were as bad as the dog's! Pheeee-uwwwwww.
