Digestive Aids

[DNoMac]

Anybody else get gassy or bloated when consuming a lot of carbs? I get most of my carbs from sweet potatoes and oats (raw) and a little from whole wheat pasta. Are any of these known to cause these problems? I'm pretty sure it's these complex carbs because I don't notice it on days where I don't carb up. Anyhow, any digestive aids? I don't want to rely on things like Beano or GasX because I thought they were bad to use long term. Any suggestions, I need them carbs...

Brocolli/eggs/vitamin C/and I think oats does it for me (fiber).
I live at home....so I am blasting them 24/7
I don't know of any digestible aids....just shit it out man

i have had this problem before when im bulking. i remember reading somewhere that if you have a lot of undigested food in your stomach and you eat another meal on top of it it will cause a lot of gas and bloating but i dont know. i would love to hear some other members opinions.

it sucks man, you cant show off your abs when your stomach is bloated to hell

Yea, I'm clean bulking right now. The major increase in calories came from complex carbs which is killing me. Shitting doesn't help, it's straight gas. I need a release valve for this shit.

you're not eating any sugar alcohols are you?

[DNoMac]

No, only sugar i get really is dextrose pwo (24gms), and I don't even take that every day.

I haven't found a way around this. The problem with all the low gi carbs is they all contain so much fiber. A cup of oats has like 7-8g. Yams have 8g for every 6oz. By the time you're through with a good carb up day (400+g) you're looking at 80g+ in fiber.

Yea, I def don't have a problem shitting...
