Re: My experiences and Solutions for Stinky Gas

[Guest guest]

I have found that my stinkiest gas comes after I have eaten a lot of carbs

and sugar - ie.....breads, corn, candy, etc. But, when I concentrate on

protein (pork chops, chicken, fish, salads, etc.) it doesn't seem as bad and

I tend to have more solid BM's (sorry, but it has to be said LOL). I do

notice much looser stools (floaters, I call them) that fill the bowl and

require at least 3 - 4 and sometimes 5 courtesy flushes if I eat a lot of

carbs like pizza or breads.......just thought I'd throw my experience in. I

really need to concentrate on just proteins......maybe I'd lose that last 20

pounds I'm shooting for ;-)

Hey Kellie,

I agree with what you're saying 100%, but for me, it doesn't seem to matter

if the stools are solid or " floaters " (as you called it...LOL) - it ALL

STANKS. (and no, that's not a typo. stanks is the equivalent to stinks, x 1000,

in

my opinion)!

The Devrom used to reduce the odor to a " normal " odor, but that honeymoon

ended in about 45 days' time. Guess my body got used to it.

My situation is a horrible one in that I currently attend a small, privately

owned Barber school. I decided to change careers from the corporate

Marketing scene to one of hair, at the age of 42...oi, wish me luck.

Anyway, the building is older and quite small, with one Ladies' room and one

Men's room in the middle of the 'floor'. The heating system tends to pump an

abundance of heat into the bathrooms, and therefore intensify any odors

coming from them; and to make it worse, the ventilation system has duct leaks

so

the odors filter back into the workshop area. Clients sitting under the

dryers will begin making faces and actually get up to complain at the front

desk

that the back area smells foul.

To add to that embarrassment are the younger students, at least a dozen of

them under age 25, who find it necessary to scream across the shop floor to the

instructors that the back area " smells like someone took a sh*t " , " blew up

the bathroom " , " calls for emergency gas masks " . As I said, it is a SMALL

school with only a handful of students, 2 instructors and a steady, but small,

streamline of clients. It doesn't take much to figure out WHO used to the

restroom.

It has gotten so embarrassing that I now clock out and drive up to the local

gas station to make my business. This results in both lost time on the State

Board clock and the fear of having a horrible accident because I can't

always just go when I have to. I'm sure you can relate to those occasional

emergencies when you gotta go NOW.

There's got to be a better way.

I, too, can relate to those last few pounds...16 and counting.

Best regards,

Patty H

My experience is very different. Since I swore off whey protein

powders, I don't have much of a gas problem. Yesterday I indulged in

one broccoli floret from a veggie platter, no dip. This morning I

enjoyed just one " cloud of memory " from it. VERY identifiable - LOL.

I have a friend who is from Veracruz. He calls toots " the soul of one

bean gone to heaven! " I thought of the soul of one floret of broccoli

this morning!

Is there such an animal as a protein drink that doesn't have whey in it? How do

you get your protein? I thought I would be drinking protein drinks twice a day

for the rest of my life in order to get enough protein. But I sure don't want

to if it exacerbates the gas problems!

Hi

You can also get a soy protein powder. I use it since I developed some lactose

intolerance post-op.

There are several sources of protein supplement, several natural

sources of protein and moore than one source of whey protein. I have

problems with whey powder for some reason. But Dr R said it's way

early to be worrying about protein at six months. He said it's a long

term, maintenance requirement for all of us to avoid protein

deficiency after weight loss has stabilized.

His suggestion was to eat a balanced, healthy diet, protein first,

veggies and fruit next, carbs last if at all.

I drank Adkins shakes for a long time with no gas problem. Now I drink Muscle

Milk from GNC. I love the chocolate milk flavor. Once I made it with milk and

blew up like a balloon in about a 1/2 hour. I never thought I had a dairy

sensitivity after MGB, but I have never drank a whole glass of mile since then,

either. I mostly get gas from sweets. I sometimes get it from veggies that

would give a normal person gas, such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower.

I once commented that my gas didn't smell bad and someone on here commmented

that I needed to see a nose and throat Dr to check out my nose cause it wasn't

working right!

Yes .. soy usually, but whey is what is recommended by CLOS.

What causes gas and odor in one may or may not cause it in

another ... we are all different after all.
