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?
Don't forget some veggies carry a powerful punch when they are released from the holding chamber
