Gas

  • I am not on IP but I have started to bodybuild and so my diet has slowly, but surely, become very protein-intensive.

    So I thought I would post here.

    Do you guys get bad gas? Ever since I have upped my protein through eating a lot of fish and eggs, my gas has gotten very bad.

    It's a small price to pay for building lean muscle.

    But do you guys suffer from this?

    And have you found a cure?
  • I also found that I have some pretty intense gas. Also painful sometimes. Gas-x seems to help.
  • Ian are you drinking any protein shakes? Fruit? Milk?

    I doubt it is the high protein but rather a combo of some sort based on what you're eating.

    For example - I have found that if I drink protein shakes based on whey concentrate + fruit I will have terrible gas. Whey isolate doesn't do this though.

    Also, how is your fiber intake?
