Excessive wind!!!

All joking aside, I have started using the treadmill after building up some endurance on the elliptical, however I really suffer from excessive wind/flatulence/farting etc!!
Why would fast walking/jogging have this effect? I can spend 30 mins on the elliptical fine.
Any ideas?

Have you increased your protein? That can cause...intestinal irritation

no my diet hasn't changed.....I've simply moved on from elliptical to treadmill !!0

[The core is] Bouncing up and down "rattles" stuff around to allow the gas to bypass blockages. Where as the Elliptical has a more fluid/smooth motion for our core which is easier on the GI track.
You could always try an anti-gas pill prior to jumping on the Human Hamster Wheel, or go outside and let to blow with the wind and not offend anyone.6 -

I don't think that a variation in physical activity would cause sudden excessive farting. Have you been eating any foods with chicory root in it? Inulin? Cause Fiber One bars and Triple Zero yogurt make me explode.0

One time while working out I farted so strongly that my cats looked at me in disgust and left the room.12

We don't say "farts" - because that could be offensive to people who are so easily offended
We call them "air biscuits"
Maybe renaming them will help ;-)5 -

a fart is nothing more than a butt's giggle.

Are you breathing heavier on the treadmill than on the elliptical? I'm guessing that maybe if you are mouth breathing you are swallowing more air which will make you gassier.0

Lactose intolerance farts are no laughing matter. They are angry and hot. Think of a burning tire combined with a sausage-y dog fart.3 -

I had a friend of mine who cut his toes off with a mower and got really sick. Found out he was Lack Toes Intolerant.4 -

If you run outside, at least you can run away if you fart in front of other people. You'll be gone but the smell will linger.0

I missed that you were lactose intolerant. I can vouch for those being the worst farts. My hubs is lactose intolerant and I have suffered his farts for years. I knew what I was getting into though. On like our 2nd date he put the window down in my car. I said "Oh, if you're hot I'm happy to turn the air on." and he said "No. This is for your benefit." and then let one rip.
Even now, if the man eats before bed I have to sleep on the couch. They are also the worst smelling farts. I'm pregnant and if he's farting in our bedroom one of us has to go. My super sensitive nose and gag reflex makes it impossible to stay in the room with him. Thankfully, this is our 3rd and final kid. It's not so horrendous when I'm not pregnant.2 -
@enterdanger, sorry you have to endure it! You should buy him a case of Lactase enzyme from costco. It is a life saver.
I'm just going to share this anectote too... I have found that after changing my diet (more probiotics, less refined sugar, more fermented foods), I can tolerate some lactose again. You can support your intestinal bacteria population to include more of those that make lactase. http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/73/2/421s.full1 -
Yeah, he eats those lactaid supplements like candy.... Then he eats ice cream. Lol1
