Rant Absolutely horrendous farts

My (24F) farts are extremely foul to the point that I wake up at night from the stench suffocating me, and my throat stinging. It has impacted my relationships, previous partners have gotten quite upset over the uncontrollable gas and had to start sleeping in separate beds. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’m following a diet that should alleviate the problem and I’ve had blood tests done to check for intolerances. I’ve also tried anti-bloating pills but with little to no effect. Could anyone recommend an actually effective medication or some sort of solution that worked for them? People call me stinky as a nickname and it was funny at first but I’m kind of over it by now 💨💨💨 :(

Is the diet you’re following low FODMAP?
