Serious question!! I got bad protein farts. Need help!!

[Maverick]

Finally decided to get my fat ass back in the gym full time. For the past 2 weeks I have been comsuming 250-300g of protein per day from steak, tuna, and protein shakes. Trouble is everytime I eat I get bad protein farts. Since this lasts usually 1 hour after I eat sometimes longer I eat 5x times a day so I am always farting. Now a few here and there but rank ones that even my dog gets up and moves.

Question is what can i do to get these to stop. Its getting annoying and sometimes even I cant stand them. Especially in the shower when the steam is rising and its hot. God thats the worst. Its like taking a shower in a port-a -pottie in the middle of the summer.

Anything over the counter I can take to help with this???

well since its new (protein intake) to your system because of the break, I would say just give it a few weeks to give your system some time to adjust to the new protein intake. If it becomes uncomfortable after 3-4 weeks, I would say its the choice of food combinations your chosing causign the intestinal gas. But for now enjoy and let 'er rip bro!

LOL! I almost spit my water all over my computer!
...the dog moves! LOL!

Sorry I can't help, maybe try some Beano or something. *Giggle*

man they must be pretty bad if the dog cant stand em- I have the same deal , but I just deal with it and have mad air fresheners in my room and it knocks it out- I consume at least 100 grams from chic/150 grams from protein powder and the rest from egg whites and they are monsterous I have had em for a while, i think its just part of it. Just dont do it in the gym, youll start to hear everyone complain even if its far from all the people -it travels- but its pretty funny to look at the peoples faces when it hits, it def hits em like a brick wall as it prolly does to your doggie.

Honestly I Have had a FRIEND who had those too.

His stomach was empty , hadnt eaten in a few hours.

Made a cell-tech (75g carbs, 10g creatine, Ribose, et) shake and added about 40g of Simple Protein from EAS. Went down easy everything was fine. Then like 1-2 hours later it hit. Just had gas from nowhere... and yeah, it SMELLED BAD!!

Usually when you rip ass you can stand your own stink. You know, kind of sit there, take it all in and smile proudly thinking to yourself "now thats a good one". "Takes a real man to make them like that."

But those from the protein shake?? OMG! Even the person who made them couldnt stand them!! He had to leave hte area they were THAT BAD And the worst part? Even the little "Squeekers" would hang around for quite some time. For some reason they took forever to dissapate! naaasssttyyyyy

So yeah, I know what your talking about. Um, I mean for my friend I know , I mean HE knows, well you know what I mean.


*** For some reason when he tried the shake like that again he got ZERO gas without changing anything. Needless to say it was odd.
(Hopefully it was just a 1 time thing because I'd hate to sneak one thinking "the coast is clear" and then have a hot chick at the gym walk by and run into your cloud! Talk about a mood breaker.)

To answer your question, I believe papaya or Guava (available at CNC in pill form) can help break down fats and proteins. Give it a shot, it should work. Take a few pills before or with your shake and let us know how it works.

The part about the dog leaving is too funny!

Try some of the chewable papaya tabs from GNC. They have an enzyme that helps with protein digestion. They taste great too. If that doesn't work, take a quick break outside. Your dog will thank you.

|--[\\\]>-------- Hey mav. you sure it's not just you who smells in general? LOL...try some Gas-X, it's over the counter and they actually taste really good. try eating 1 ro 2 right when you start to fart a lot...i'm sorry to say, but eating a lot of protein and that many times a day, its not going to stop! LOL! do the gas-X and you'll be fine

**on a similar note: you guys ever drink Mass Recovery by Abb? I downed one of these the other morning and then had a big lunch, holy shit, i crapped my pants ALL day..that stuff moves right through you..you have to sip on those drinks otherwise it's all coming right back out!**

Mav..I am laughing my ass off right now reading that post!!!!
Man tey some digestive enzymes with your meals...
Bromelin, Papian (sp)

Massive G just did an article in the articles section on Bromelin..check it out its a good read...worth adding to the regimine..

back in the 60's there was a BB by the name of Mitsuo Kawashima from Hawaii..he used a protein mixture of casinate , egg, bromelain and papain.
I just started using this mixture and I gotta say..in two weeks its made a visable differnce..

 

[cryptasm]

Oh yeah, I forgot..I don't know about anyone else but in the past .. if my protein was high and fats too low..I got real nasty gas..like empty out the house kind..lingered for like an hour..nasty stuff...if i kep my fats (healthy) higer i dont get that problem.. food for thought.. works for me

If you are getting farts from protein drinks, then you are having garbage quality powders, regardless of what is on the label. It's all the fillers and crap that is added that makes you bloated and gives you gas and the runs.

What Big A says is true..Get the right protein powder or dont use the stuff at all. Good protein powder does not come cheap but it is convienent when needed.

I think 90% of the protein powders on the market gas up anyone.

NOTE: My freind whom I was visiting kept complaining about how his protein powder keeping him all gassed. I laughed and told him that stuff would gas up a dog. So what does he do??? He sprinkles 3 scoops of his vanilla whey protein that he had purchased from ALL THE WHEY.COM on his dog's food. 3 hours later his male english bulldog stated setting off stink bombs throughout the house. His finance had to put the dog in their garage until the explosions subsided.....lol

Last year when i seriously started a good offseason diet I had no protein powder in my diet and over the summer I did the same with about 250-300 g of protein from food only.the gains were the same with or without protein powder as long as I got in a certain amount of protein and the gas was just as bad if not worse without the protein powder- i dont know if anyone can agree with me here, but i know my roommates from last year would vouge on that one

If drinking protein shakes it could come from poor quality protein. Use SynthePURE, no gas, no bloat.

Man that thing with the dog is nothing. I live close to the San diego zoo. So my wife and i decide to visit the zoo. That morning i had one of my famous whey shakes (whey powder from costco). A few hours later I have a couple of beers at the Zoo.

Well now come the important part. I'm walking by looking at the gorrillas and let one of those costco and beer farts out. There now looking for gorrillla replacements and I was escorted out of the Zoo. LOL
