Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hey girls, I just started BFL about a week ago, and I'm feeling more energetic, but noticing a serious problem with GAS. I have to be honest, it smells terrible, comes often after meals, and is quite embarassing at work. Has anyone else had this symptom? I'm used to eating lots of whole fruits and vegetables, so I think the increase may be due to having more protein. Was there an adequate solution for this? If it doesn't abate, I may have to lower my protein intake until it the gas problem reaches a manageable level. Other than this, I'm feeling great, quite energetic and positive. bookgurl99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hi, I also have this problem, and the only thing I know to do is take gasx pills before eating anything that I know produces gas, It helps if I remember to take the pills. I had to make a choice to deal with the gas or keep being fat, so I take the pills, lol. Here is a list of foods that may give you gas (can't remember where I got it, but it has helped me: Some people experience excessive gas after eating: Apples Cucumbers Potatos Apricots Dried beans Prune juice Bran cereals Eggplant Prunes Bran muffins Fried foods Radishes Broccoli Ice cream Raisins Brussel sprouts Ice milk Rutabaga Cabbage Kohirabi Sauerkraut Cauliflower Lentils Soybeans Cheese Lima beans Tomatoes Citrus fruits Milk Wheat germ Cream Onions Whole wheat bread Hope this helps you, good luck Texas > > I just started BFL about a week ago, and I'm feeling more energetic, > but noticing a serious problem with GAS.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 I have also found that Myoplex (even the lite) gives me gas. That is why I switched to Isopur shakes and EAS Results when I am on the run. > Hi, I also have this problem, and the only thing I know to do is take gasx > pills before eating anything that I know produces gas, It helps if I remember > to take the pills.

Glad to see Im not abnormal..LOL I find they even upset my stomach a bit, must be something in them that dont seem to settle right with me, at least right now.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 I have no help on this... but thought I'd relate a pretty funny/embarssing story. I was doing leg lifts at the gym the other night and there's something about those that gets my insides moving too... and I let out the biggest fart! Worse thing was that the weight area was packed, I was so embarassed!!! I know everyone does it though, just usually not so loud! > Hey girls, > > I just started BFL about a week ago, and I'm feeling more energetic, > but noticing a serious problem with GAS.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Thank goodness I work out at home!!!! No one else around except the two cats who watch me constantly. I think they are trying to figure out what the heck mommy is doing...LOL I see their heads moving up and down as I am lifting....makes me laugh sometimes! At least if I do pass gas they wont tell anyone! M > > Hey girls, > > > > I just started BFL about a week ago, and I'm feeling more > energetic, > > but noticing a serious problem with GAS.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 I have battled with this on and off since starting BFl last summer (I even posted about it). What supplements are you taking? I have found that CLA really gave me the worst gas, and since eliminating that, it's been a lot beter. Also, when I eat Myoplex bars, I feel gassy as well. I have been drinking ready to drink shakes (as opposed to the ones with lots of air made in my blender) and I have NO problems whatsoever! > Hey girls, > > I just started BFL about a week ago, and I'm feeling more energetic, > but noticing a serious problem with GAS.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Veggies are the worst for me, especially raw. I get so sick, I can barely move. Beano helps, but it makes me constipated the next day. > > > Hi, I also have this problem, and the only thing I know to do is > > take gasx > > > pills before eating anything that I know produces gas, It helps > if > > I remember > > > to take the pills.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 ---You Poor Thing! I can't imagine suffering so much from fresh vegs. This is just an idea - Maybe you have tried supplementing with digestive enzymes ? (They greatly decrease in our bodies even while we are in our 30's. Perhaps eating so much protein requires more digestion, thus more enzymes, etc --- So to eat healthier, our bodies require more enzymes. ) I am not an expert on this at all.... My husband is a chiropractor and prescribes nutritional supplements - (You can find some at whole foods? or some other natural store? Or from some Chiropractors or Osteopathic Doctors? ) Veggies are the worst for me, especially raw. I get so sick, I can > barely move.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 haha! Sometimes my cats are worse than me!

I have so much gas you can probably smell it from your computer! It's worse when I am taking all my suppliments and doing a challenge, like now. This Feb. Muscle Media magazine has an article about gas written by Porter Freeman (Body for Life champ) in " Freeman's word " page 62. Check it out. Apparently it's normal. ...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Thanks,. I've been taking enzymes for years. They help, but veggies are still a no-go. It IS terrible. My mom has the same problem. I can only handle a half cup at a time at the most. dani > > > > > Hi, I also have this problem, and the only thing I know to do > > is > > > > take gasx > > > > > pills before eating anything that I know produces gas, It > helps > > > if > > > > I remember > > > > > to take the pills.
