sweet potatoes give me gas

[gettingBIGGERfast]

So, I finally figure out that sweet potatoes give me gas. I never would have thought it was them, but when I don't eat sweet potatoes, no gas. I eat as little as half a cup of sweet potatoes and an hour later I am like a punctured hot air balloon.

So question is.....do I stop eating them? It seems to me that gas is a sign that something is not quite right. So do I stop eating them or just time eating them so I can let er rip when the time comes?

I don't think it means there's something not right, I would personally look at it as just a little extra added benefit...

well either way. I ate sweet potatoes before class.

OH MY GOD. i felt like I was about to burst. Seriously, on the way to my car (about a 5 minute walk) I farted about once every 10 seconds....literally. I had to release in control bursts because there where people around. I am pretty sure if I had let it all out at once I would have lifted up off the ground.

Anyone know anything that helps.

BTW, I have been taking digestive enzymes, which hasn't helped in the least.

Yeah, they tear me up pretty good too. Not once every 10 seconds, but I feel your pain.....Are you eating the skins. If so try peeling them and eating them that way, you lose a little fiber and protein, but it helps a little. If you still want to eat the skins, just make sure you wash them thouroughly before eating.....If you were already not eating the skins then I dont know what to tell ya, lol.

I think carbs in general give me gas. I use to think that protein gave me the shits but now that I am carb cycling my high carb day def gives me the farts. The guys at work chipped in on me some beano, lol!

Thats too much!!!! Yeah, i had the same issue when i was carb cycling. Someone told me that sweet potatoes when combined with high protein intake can cause gas. I dunno, Ive accepted farting as part of the body builder lifestyle, sucks, but its not going away anytime soon I fear.....Thanks for the comp Texas
