A member asked:
Extremely foul smelling gas whenever i drink alcohol (which is rarely) - could i have an intolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intolerance Yes: Well of course there is an intolerance. I can only conjecture as to the cause. Hyperacidity in the stomach has been a cause for increased gas and alcohol could do that. Usually foul smelling gas is afrom poorly digested food or changes in the flora in your intestines. I'm not aware of alcohol generally causing either of these problems so I'm at a loss to explain why you have this intolerance.
