Protein farts

[yeahbuddy289]

Man is there any way to stop these??? I have tried beno already. What else can I do? Im starting to think my poor girlfriend might leave me lol.

I am happy when I am cutting just so I don't get those. Mine are made a lot worse by eating many kinds of foods though (or maybe one kind of food that I haven't identified). When I eat only chicken, rice, eggs, oatmeal, almonds, broccoli and asparagus I don't get a lot of gas. Throw a bunch of different foods in my belly and I have problems.

Make sure you don't have lactose intolerance. If I eat a little bit of cottage cheese I blow up like a balloon.

Myself and my girlfriend have been getting them pretty bad here lately too...I don't know if it the protein or what, but we just make a game out of it. Maybe give that shot. If your gf can shoot em right back at you, maybe it'll relieve some of her tension too!!!

Ironically I just read something on this. It said normally all gas is from carbs or allergies to componnents of protein (ie lactose intloerance)-all of that i do know to be true.
It went on to say if there is more protein than the body can break down it makes it undigested to the lower intestine and causes gas- i also know gas is formed in the lower intestine.
Their conclusion- In the abscence of an allergy or from carbs accompanying the protein - its a sign that too much protein is being consumed.

Not saying its fact - take it for what its worth. It makes sense to me.
ps- it was a medical write up- not a BB write up.

^ too much protein for who? when you working your body as hard as we do, you've got to run things pretty rich!

i dont know what to do but i can testify that my farts can be down right brutal.. alot of days i start farting at like 1500 and dont quit til i go to bed.. and they smell unbelievably wretched.. my wife is not very happy about it to say the least.. and im actually getting tired of it too.. i never thought i could get tired of farting but im just about there.. we have a bonus room thats my man cave and its like 1000sq feet ... thats where i do all my couch laying and tv watching.. well i can stink up the entire room.. my daughter came up there one night and as soon as she walked in askd if id been up there "farting again" LOL... so if anyone can come up with a solution im all ears...

My girl and I keep a bottle of air freshner next to the bed. It works, but all my cloths smell like summer breeze!

[--->>405<<---]

i tell u what else is weird is every fart smells the exact same!

[jimmyinkedup]

maybe digestive enzyme supp. papain and bromelain. both are enzymes required to digest protein. natural sources include papaya and pineapple. you can buy supplements cheap- like under $10. May help-i dunno....

I'm surprised Razr hasn't popped in and gave his .02. Seems he's had an answer for everything lately!

LMAO. I think his computer started smoking and caught fire as he posted so many threads in such a short time so he's out of commission for a bit.


I would try a fiber supplement like metamucil or citrucel and up the water intake in addition to the digestive enzymes like jimmy said.

Pretty good sexy i guess were not alone...

[jamesz123]

if you pass excessive gas is that not a good indication that you are over eating the proteins ? is that not a signal to back off the proteins ?

[--->>405<<---]

^^^ good question.. x2^^????????????????

If you can prove it's excess protein then reduce your numbers. If you're eating over 250g grams protein daily it's likely you are overeating that macro anyway. Dependant of course on your lean mass and/or the make up of your other macro's.

Normally, as Jimmy's report says, it is to do with the carbs you ingest and your body's (in)ability to break them down. I would recommend bromelain inbetween meals to anybody with digestion issues or even to those who do have a high protein diet ie most of us.

Personaly I would try and ID the culprit. eg Swap out broccoli for another veg, or oats for sweet pots. Maybe reduce your protein and see if that works.

Im eating a little over a 1 gram per lb. of body weight wouldnt reducing it be against the muscle builing rules?

If that's all you're eating it's unlikely due to excess protein. Try and pinpoint what it is. Are you bulking?

[--->>405<<---]

Well stem im eatn 300g pro everyday and i usuAlly get gas every day...starts About 3-5pm and lasts until i go to bed... Some days it can reAlly crank up like where ill fart 100 times in 6 hrs.. Sux... Like i said it pretty much doesnt start until 3pm-5pm... Now by then ive had maybe 200g - 250g protein...

Your protein is particularly high but you have reduced your carbs to take that into account. And I'm pretty sure that, as things are going well, you won't be reducing your protein and making it up with carbs?! Besides, your own farts smell pretty good to yourself!

I remember when I use to take high protein AND high carbs I used to have an issue with that as well..
I still take high protein but the rest of my diet is very clean with a lot less carbs than before. No seasoning - spices etc. So now I do not have gas issues. So it might be a combination of things mixing up in your system.

[yeahbuddy289]

Yeah im bulking. I am eating mainly oat shakes (quick oats, eggs whites, whey, 2%), 90% lean ground beef, chicken, white rice, cottage cheese, I will throw in pasta sometimes.

[M302_Imola]

I think Jimmy hit the nail on the head. Either your body is somewhat alergic to something you are eating (I'm quessing Oats is your culprit) or your body isn't processing all the protein you are throwing at it. I myself get these excessive farts when I'm bulking and my main carb source is Oats. I switched to Ezekial bread and my body must process these a lot better as the farts have been drastically reduced. Digestive enzymes could help most and I have also found that popping a few Tums right after a meal helps too!

Anyone thought of beano? Works wonders for me when running high carbs.

Sorry. I know. I'm a dumba$$! Didn't see the op say that in his original post.

Beano didn't do shit for me!
