yea...i duno how many have had the same experiences that lead to the odor problem, but i'm guessing they may be related in some way. I don't recall anything similar to that happening to me...maybe constipation, or "holding it in" caused the muscles to relax a bit...or maybe it's like i suggested before, that it may be because of an infection, or ulcers. Ulcers create a hole in your stomach lining.
