Took all medication given to me from the doctor and supplement. I thought it was gas, then GERD and finally may be Leaking gut problem. I do not have any pain all of have is the smell and odor. I have tried probiotics is there a special brand I can get that is sure to improve if not cure the odor. I'm don't feel this answer is going to help me. Thank you.

Probiotics can be tried

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up and sorry for the delay in replying,
You can try yokult.
If you dont find that even sporolac tablets ( lactobacillus ) is a good option.
There are conditions like irritable bowel syndrome where an exact cause could not be established.
You dont need to be disheartened, just try probiotics continuously for at least 6 month.
You may get response with this.
Thank you
