Result of protein

[Mr.Totality]

Well, I gotta ask this question and there is no other way to ask it then just firing away. So here it is: does anyone else here suffer from extreme gas as a result of their high protein intake. On days where I exceed 300 grams of protein, my gas smells like I killed a small animal. My wife is waiting to toss me out the window. Anyone else suffering this "affliction"?

Hahahaha...I know exactly how you feel, but mine gets the worst at night b/c I will eat a can of tuna, then have 12oz skim milk w/ 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese after that...it's a biohazard zone under my covers before I go to sleep! (Sucks for my soon to be wife!)

its terrible. I try to be romantic with my wife, and she smells dead animal.

[J-Dawg]

Ah yes, the side effect of the high protein diet... You definitely need a very understanding significant other.

dairy bloats me and upsets my stomach a lot. maybe lose dairy if its in your diet. you could try digestive aids like bromelain and ginger root. dont use too much bromelain, 2 times a day at the most with your higher protein meals.

[karmazon]

Haha protein farts are stuff legends are made of.

[Wonderwheels]

I could be wrong, but it was explained to me once that if I had alot of gas from the protein I was eating, then It wasnt properly digesting in my body. I was encouraged to eat more chicken breast, and beef due to these forms of protein not causing gas and underdigestion. Anyone else have any tips regarding getting this under control?

[Karma]

Me? Rotten Eggs gas.. Nobody can be near haha!!

[BeastofBurden]

I will admit it .. and I'm actually kind of proud of it. I made a bathroom at a party reek like hell for over an hour and no one could go in to relieve themselves of their over abundant beer drinking. Let's say i wasn't the real "life of the party"

[the bull]

haha, we all can relate bro, thats just one thing you have to deal with. the worst is when you are on a date and you have to hold it in, then you get backed up and it messes you up the whole night, try hooking up when all you want to do is shit. just deal with it, or forget hanging with chicks. just try to keep your diet as regular and consistant as possible, its when you make changes like a precontest diet that will really mess u up.

[JUGGERNAUT]

Never and I mean never, light a match in the one bathroom used by all the bodybuilding competitors on showday...

[king1]

Liver pills do it...I usualy eat 2-4 liver tabs every few hours throughout the day at school, and by night time......damn

my wife is doing the same thing. tonight I was at my sisters, and she is somewhat used to it, but since it has been years since we were kids and I started lifting she got the "shock" treatment.

Another funny thing is that at work, I am in my department office and couldnt take it anymore, and the person who used the bathroom after me said he thought somebody let butane lose in the bathroom.

[NumeroUno]

I'm always trying to hit 2 grams of protein for every pound I weigh.


Lets just say, I know how to clear a room.... like a champ.

I actually got written up at work when I had a desk job. Had an emo kid that complained about my farts. I told them I couldn't help it sometimes. When you aren't supposed to leave your desk and are tied to a phone you have no choice. Now I drive a truck. Just crack the windows and let em rip.

[ldskenpo]

my kids love the pull my finger trick!!! wife hates it, though. at work, i am outside most of the time but if we are in a meeting too long i can be relied on to end it quick.

[Evaniel]

Eggs. Deadly, deadly eggs. My wife found the "pull my finger" bit amusing at first, but her amusement as had an inverse relationship with my protein increase.

["6"]

Ahahaha... thats what you get when you're constantly full of protein. When I'm getting intimate with my girlfriend and I can feel one forming I'm like "oh crap"(no pun intended). Then with much resolve and bowel control I release it bit by bit. Works pretty well, but you're pretty much screwed if your girlfriend notices your face suddenly contorted in concentration. Remember to relax those face muscles fellas

[hjayss]

When you are alone at work or whatever and you let out that real good protein blast and somebody pops up and you know they got a wiff. Oh well yeah bro I think we are all victims PAF (Protein animal fart) another price we pay.

[young_muscle]

Yeah i use to get the protein farts all the time, but my dad told me that protazyme's would help so i started taking them and they stopped! You guys should try it it really works
