its probably either low quality protien, or you are just not digesting it properly

LMAO! oh man!!
Ok I fart alot too when I have a large amount of protein intake.
Firstly how many g's of protein to you take in at any one sitting? Your body really can't use more then 30-40g's of protein in any one sitting.
Say you weigh 180 pounds. You need 180 g's per day. If you take in 6 meals that's 30g's per sitting. Fair enough?
If you take in more then your body can use (for example 60 somethin grams which some people do) your gonna have massive amounts of forceful bowel movements and intestinal flactuants.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal.

Dude, there are so many companies out there that make protein powder its not even funny. I can think of atleast 5 off the top of my head.
Designer Whey isn't that bad. I've tried all there flavors except chocolate. Tastes good if you ask me.
Why don't you try out ON 100%? I'm sure I'll have alot of back on this but it tastes really good if you ask me. I heard strawberry is awful. But I've had vanilla ice cream (good) and I'm currently using double rich chocalte (VERY GOOD).The Iron never lies to you.

It's not like I intake that much either. I mix it in with my soy milk and creal in the morning. And at night withwater and nfrozen yogurt. Ive been told that if you leave a shaker with protein and water out overnight the stink is something awful..

i got the same problemHenry Rollins
It took me years to fully appreciate the value of the lessons I have learned from the Iron... I learned that nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can't be as bad as that workout.

I take in close to 400 grams of protein a day, I do not have this problem. Maybe try some B6, that use to help me greatly when I high carbed(cutting+ rapid increase in carbs=bad gas).
Maybe it is caused due to incomplete protein???Last edited by CJM; 10-10-2003 at 10:34 PM.

Lactose causes protein farts. Low quality Whey protein concentrate has a lot of lactose (milk sugars) in it. More people are lactose intolerant than probably realize it. You're drinking a large quantity at once, so your body has some trouble digesting it.
Solution: Go with products that are low lactose or lactose free, Any real Whey Protein Isolate or Hydrolyzed will be lactose free.

lol same thing happened with me, but now my body got use to it..
i remember i went to the supermarket the first day that i increased my protein intake (to know how much i was gettin per day), an i let one go ...ooooooo mannnnnnnnn , it floated in the same spot for like an hour. even the guys that worked there were like "god o mighty" (heard it cause i was in next aisle).
Now it doesn't happen , i use 100% opt whey, an VP2. i think they're both good tasting

It is undigested whatever and is throwing off gas. I take a Intestinal Flora (digestive emzyne) 3x a day. It totally worked for me. Or U could try a hydrolyzed whey. It is much easier for your body to break down. Regardless, the gas is undigested protein in your small intestines.

Personally I think it's carbs, not protein. I've been having awful gas problems lately and I'm bulking right now. When I was cutting and doing a ckd, I don't ever remember farting. Now since I've added carbs back, for like the past 2 months, my gas is terrible. I think it's the 2 cups of oatmeal a day. I just bought some beano today, hopefully that will work. A friend fo mine has a supplement store and he gave me some stuff from NOW called acidophilus and bifidus, they are good bacteria that your body needs bit something didn't feel right inside while I was taking it. I'm going to try it for a little while more. Dorian Yates proteins use these bactcteria to aid in protein digestion. My buddy siad it might take your body a little to get used to them so I'll see how it works.

It doesnt matter if your body has a problem digesting protein or carbs. The gas in undigested food.

The healthier my diet, the worse my farts are. I think it's probably a combination of high protein and carbs. Especially if your eating lots of vegetables and complex carbs like oatmeal.

I happen to get them a lot too on my Diet "Cheat Day". Sometimes they're so bad I end up with the house to myself. The worst happened just last week, a friend of mine at the gym I work out with gave me a 1/2 tub of Protein he wasn't using...I should have known when the label was so faded I couldn't read it. I was in for trouble.

I haven't had protein farts for quite awhile. I think the huge amount of yogurt I eat really helps. I kind of miss the warm feeling in your butt when you let one go

No, my Wife left because she couldnt hack it being a Marine Wife. My first 4 years in the Marines i spent it in the Infantry, I told her i wouldnt never be home. I had two 6 Month deployments in my 4 year term where she couldnt go. She stayed with me, then when i wasnt deployed i was in the field i was about 90% of the time away during Infantry. Then i went MP and have been for the last 2 years, because your home more in the MP's, I did it for her. But i hate it! When i told her i was gonna tryout for Marine Force Recon, in Feb she went ape ****, cause in Recon your less home than in Infantry. And things, kinda, of slowly went away from there. And then when i returned back from IRAQ, about month later. She left..........Originally posted by stever
