Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical that gives farts their awful smell.<BR/><BR/>And yes, this can certainly be a symptom of lactose intolerance. Bacteria in the colon make hydrogen sulfide from undigested lactose that reaches them.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, there are two ways to attack the problem.<BR/><BR/>One, you can take lactase pills with dairy to digest the lactose before it can reach the colon.<BR/><BR/>Two, you can change the composition of the bacteria to types that digest rather than ferment lactose. Yogurt with live and active cultures can do this. Or you can take a probiotic specially formulated for those with lactose intolerance, like Digestive Advantage or Lactagen.<BR/><BR/>Check my April archives.
