    I was just noticing today that not only have I become more flatulent, but my BO has gotten worse. I used to be able to sweat at least a little and it was no big deal, but I even think about perspiring now and it smells like I just went 2sies in my pits.

    I really don't think I'm eating any more fiber than before. I am drinking more water and less less soda, and eating less sugar and fat. I think I may be eating more veggies and carbs. I swear I may have to go back to burgers and fries if I can't get this scent issue figured out.

    Copious amounts of yogurt will stop this in it's tracks. The actives in yogurt produce a gas that is way less vile and much smaller volume. I fart a lot less now than my previous Pizza, wings, beer, sausage, potato, and anything else i can shovel in diet. Do the yogurt every day twice for special people.

    Good to know...so it's the yogurt I eat everyday that keeps me from having the gas problem. However, if I were to cheat and eat Burger King...my kids would know it!

    The bacteria and enzymes that work on grease/fat are the worst of all. that is exactly why BK/McD/Wendy's all make you gas up.

    Lower your protein and increase carbs by about 10% I'll bet it stops. High protein, low carb, low cal will make you a bit smelly. give it a shot.

    Hahaha, lucky you!! :P

    As for the rest of us dealing with flatulence issues, I'm not sure why, but tea really helps! A cup of unsweetened tea or hot water really helps settle my stomach, and helps eliminate those bladder and gaseous problems.

    That's fiber working its heavenly magic. I pass gas like a bat out of hell. Mmmm...protein farts.

    Me too....ewwwwwwwwww!! I can't even begin to be lady-like no mo.

    For real, though. I mean, I ain't a lady, but do you know how hard it is to try and blame farts on invisible people when you're in a bowling league and one slips out when you throw your ball? I end up walkin' around the alley, crop-dustin' them bad boys around to different spots of the house.

    ROFLMAO!! Thats me at the store. Sometimes my po' kids are walking behind me at the wrong time....instance aisle kill!! They start dropping like flies trying to catch their breath while silently cursing me out lol

    Don't feel bad I do too. I've doubled the amount of times I go. I think it's just eating better and all that waste is not sitting inside you.

    This is the best topic... I thought I was the only one (I don't know why I thought this.) It's horrible because I'll be walking somewhere, and it's not loud or anything.. I just let it go and run. The BMs are rediculous, too. But when I don't have them I know I've not been eating well enough. Your body knows how to talk to you. You just have to listen.

    I am laughing so hard I just woke up my husband. LOL! I hadn't had a lot of changes in my bowels but after reading through, I am guessing that is because 1) I still eat carbs to the max allowed by MFP and 2) I eat a ton of yogurt (that was my first dietary change, because it was easy to do).
    I so needed the laugh today! Thanks!
