Outline of Final Research Achievements

The smell of colostomy is not a small problem in ostomates. There are meal contents for ostomates which easily cause diarrhea, easily produce bowel gases, and easily to produce malodor. Meal contents which generally produce fecal odor, such as onions, garlic, cheese and Chinese chives are well known. We investigated the fecal odor using gas chromatography between by having one group eat meal contents which cause fecal odor and another group not eat them. Using the gas chromatography, we analyzed four kinds of substances which are known as causes of fecal malodor, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, methyl mercaptan, and trimethylamine. There is a difference in the concentration of fecal malodor substances according to the gas chromatography between the group which ate fecal odor causing meal contents group and the group which did not.
