I noticed I have a lot of gas and real smelly after taking this product. Is the gas a byproduct that will continue to be there each time I use?

I've used this product and didn't notice any symptoms. Dr. Joel Wallach (he's the man behind these products) and his book "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" is where I get my into. If you go to his site he advertises that he has several different radio shows, etc. and people can call him directly. His products have made such a fantastic difference in my health. I refer to his book constantly. If you order his book on Amazon, make sure you order the one that comes an audio tape. That will give you a good overview. Then you'll have the book to refer to. Personally always take his minerals and vit., then add other things that I find I need. His book describes each vit. & mineral and lays out what extras one might need for certain conditions, which he lays out in detail. Super book!! You can ask him, but, possibly you should start out with smaller amounts of the Osteo Fx Powder and work your way up, but follow the instructions on package about when to take. But that product did work great for us...my husband had a broken ankle which was not healing well and he's healing now. I have no association with Dr. Wallach or any of his products, except as a customer. Connie

The smell is from phthalate plasticizers (substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity). They are used primarily to soften PVC vinyl. It will continue to "off-gas" into your environment throughout its life. They are endocrine disrupters and if this is a concern to you then buy a product that claims to be phthalate-free (such as "Slip-X Solutions Bottomless Bath" or "Boon Ray Drain Plug").

I forgot to mention this, but it does take quite awhile to off-gas. Quite a heavy Petro-chemical smell that does eventually go away. Keep the room well ventilated.

I think the answer is yes...this is normal for this particular product. It did not help my gastric reflux, which was the reason I used it..but it did cause me to have an overactive gut! So I know something was in it..but I really don't know what! I personally would not waste my money on this again.

Mine only began to smell like diesel fuel almost after it had been used a lot. I think it was a reaction with the mesh material and the urine.. I threw both of mine away

Yes, it just pops off and reseals itself. I used the same bottle three different times and it still had gas in it. This is also very efficient, used it a lot!

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.comTelephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

I have not experienced this even though I don't use this product like I once did. I still maintained a descent result and I'm happy with it to this day! Good luck

Not when you initially take the gelcap, no. As it dissolves you may get a fishy taste if you relieve gas from your stomach.

No I have not had any issues with gas but I feed it dry. Do you add anything else in it ?

It doesn't sound like it. I have never noticed an odor using this product. When I smell the odor in the bottle, it smells very light. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with it.

I hope my suggestion helps! We bought it because we began using Similac Sensitive, which tends to have more gas bubbles form when mixing.

I used it once on my thighs and I noticed a great difference. Could not use it anymore because i could not stand the smell. After i used it i got sick and wanted to throw up.

I would not hesitate, for a second, to add the proper amount of PRI-G to this gas. It can't hurt anything. Sort of like shaking up a bottle whose liquid contents have set for a long time. The results are bound to be positive!

If I remember correctly, there was a pungent aroma at first. However, over the last couple months it has faded down to near nothing (I just gave it a sniff now before writing this). I suppose if it's really bugging you, leave it outside in the sun for an hour or so (anything longer and it might start cracking due to its fake nature) to let any coatings or chemicals off-gas.

I never really experienced the smelly breath but after application it does linger. If consumed orally u will permeate quite a bit and many find it unpleasant.

umm... stop using it? lol Seriously though I've never had that problem. You might just be allergic to it. So stop using it.
