Constantly farting ?

**Chip5** · 05-02-2005, 03:18 AM

What could be the cause of constantly farting , any help would be appreciated thanks

**dodgyone** · 05-02-2005, 03:29 AM

The main reasons would be either with what you are eating and how you are eating it. Post the foods that you mainly eat and we may be able to advise. Some people are intollerant to milk products or wheat for example and this can cause problems. Most people tend to get some problems when eating the bodybuilding diet consisting of lots of protein, vegetables and fruit.

Also if you rush when eating your food there is more chance of excess air entering the stomach. This causes you to get bloated and the air can only escape through the obvious place. The best way I find is that I enjoy the meal more if I put my fork down between bites and take the time to enjoy the food that I'm eating. So just don't chew twice and swallow which gives your digestive system a pretty hard time! Enjoy the flavours in your mouth and you will feel more satisfied and as a bonus I find this reduces beinge eating as well!

If your drinking 80% whey concentrate mixed with milk that can cause excess gas. Try switching to whey isolate or at least mix it with water instead. This apparently helps out alot of people with the same problem

Lol yeah my gas is terrible these last few days. Broccoli, cottage cheese, tuna, eggs, and beans. Terrible combination!

**Bosko** · 05-02-2005, 07:13 AM

Get some BEANO over the counter anti gas pills

**YeaHcomeOn** · 05-02-2005, 07:28 AM

I have the same problem. For me its the skim milk. I still drink it and deal with it. lol

**skinnyboy** · 05-02-2005, 08:41 AM

Ginger is good for protein digestion. Either take it by pill or eat it raw.

**tonypietrini** · 05-02-2005, 11:07 AM

You might be allergic to wheat...I cut out ww foods out of my diet and I'm gas free now.

**Khryz** · 05-02-2005, 11:50 AM

For me it's milk and protein shakes.

Holy crap, I might have to give that a try. I eat so fast. I so hope that is the cause of my constant gas. Thats means I would be able to control it by eating slower, but I should get fuller/supress my appetite on less food by eating slower.

**Briar** · 05-02-2005, 05:56 PM

oh my god i eat really fast too, and i want to slow down but i love my food.
Also i eat alot of beans too, dam it, girls arent allowed to have gas, its just not right!!!!!!!

**Chip5** · 05-02-2005, 06:35 PM

thanks for the replies ^^,
i might leave out wheat.... T.T

**Mister_A** · 05-02-2005, 10:03 PM

I've been really gassy lately too.

Mostly from adding dairy to my diet. And lots and lots of protein.

**Chip5** · 05-02-2005, 11:41 PM

So , too much protein will also cause that ?
or u meant dairy ?

**whiplash** · 05-02-2005, 11:47 PM

eggs and beans are a common source of breaking wind

**Chip5** · 05-03-2005, 12:23 AM

Ahh....i've been eating lots of beans....That should help abit , whiplash , thanks !

no problems, im not saying its the source of the problem but it's a common reason.

**Monkzilla** · 05-03-2005, 03:39 AM

Try staying away from dairy for a week and see if it makes much of a difference. Dairy is the #1 allergen and often causes gas. I know myself, I love milk but can't drink it (however cottage cheese seems to be fine).

**armz_ha** · 05-03-2005, 06:06 AM

My farts are uncontrollable so as my waste. That thing does not flush....

I get it stuck like 3-4 times per week!

This happened to me when I started eating properly. I could clear a room. It may be the fiber, but it's not too much. Your body will get used to it.

**romeo2** · 05-03-2005, 12:13 PM

i get this when i eat oatmeal and a protein shake in the morning. i then got a class at 8 and sometimes the sound is so loud i get paranoid that the people behind me talking might be laughing at me. but i solved this when i started eating earlier in the morning and taking a dump before i left.

**melon** · 05-03-2005, 12:44 PM

Luckily when I get the protein farts they aren't noisey, so I can sneak them out. However they will actually kill small animals and blast holes through walls. That's sometimes hard to explain.

**homer77** · 05-03-2005, 12:46 PM

welcome to bodybuilding

**Briar** · 05-03-2005, 02:09 PM

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha

So , how much fibre is considered too much ?

**slickrich98** · 05-03-2005, 10:02 PM

most of your protein is coming from shakes, all that diary in your system of course youre gonna bust ass

**maffie** · 05-04-2005, 02:03 AM

for me it's too much food in one sitting(like the transition from 'know nuts about a good diet' to a clean bulking diet). eating more at one sitting causes gas for me
