Hi Angela,
It's funny to me that anyone would ever consider me lucky, but as I've often said... there's always folks out there worse off than me, which is why I never complain (except maybe online a little bit). So I looked up what causes ostomy odors and came up with this
Other foods that tend to cause more gas production (and odor) include:
Dried beans,
Cucumbers,
Vegetables from the cabbage family (onions, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower),
Spinach,
Corn, and.
Radishes.
For all my life I've always hated eating all those things, except maybe corn on the cob, and always had to deal with folks telling me to "eat my veggies". And now, what do you know... my disdain for said veggies is paying off! Funny thing though... I drink carbonated ORS all day and night and that doesn't generate any gas at all. Guess I'm just "gas-less", and as you said... very lucky... to be so inclined!
Regards,
Bob
