    LOL, it's interesting how foods affect people differently. I always stayed away from beans, thinking they caused bad gas. Turns out it's not the beans by themselves--it's overeating in general while eating beans. If I stay within my calories, a cup of beans a day is no problem. If I overdo the calories along with those beans, then watch out because I'll take you to funky town.

    Have you tried any OTC gas relief tablets?

    My biggest issue is sugar free candy. It sounds like you aren't ingesting that but if you are...... I also started taking probiotics to help with some issues and it did the trick. Another thought is yogurt just to ensure your intestinal flora is healthy. One other throught would be some natural digestive enzymes to help digest it. Otherwise you may just find that particular protein powder doesn't agree with you. Good luck.

    Yep I've had a problem with the protein shakes in the past. I did find that it subsided after awhile of being on the stuff.

    You may want to try eliminating anything that may be causing it, and slowly re-add them back in to see what affects you most. There are also items like "beano" and "culturelle" that can help in many cases. I can't remember what the dairy based one is.

    My bad item is beef jerkey. There was a time when I use to gorge on it as a snack, and the results were deadly.

    I have noticed that significantly cutting down on my dairy and starchy carbs has seriously reduced my bloating and therefore - gas. I haven't been tested but I suspect that I have intolerances to these because of the amount of bloat and gas they give me.

    As others have said, cut out or reduce one thing at a time and see how you get on.

    @smolmaus Would you mind sharing your recipe for the flatbreads?

    Mine is barely a recipe @yayamom3 ! If you look up socca recipes you'll find lots. I do 25g of chickpea flour to about a 1/4tsp of baking powder (depends how fluffy you want them) per flatbread and whisk in enough water to make it a thick pancake batter consistency. I add onion salt, pepper, sometimes garam masala or cumin and then just fry in a pan with spray oil until you see bubbles and it starts to brown and go crispy. You can also do crepes without the baking powder (excellent for vegan and gluten free tortillas). It's really an eggless pancake but very savory!

    I also make cookies, muffins and stuff with chickpea flour but you kinda have to be into the bean-y flavour to enjoy the sweet things lol

    Going to try this. Thank you!

    LOLOLOLOL!!! Protein farts! Welcome! Hahahahahahahahaa!!

    Very very common reaction to whey protein.

    To combat that, I now use vegan protein (the one I currently buy is pea based) or else beef protein (which is not whey, it's actual moo cow, but it's more expensive and tastes worse than the vegan one). Neither give me gas though. The beef one I find even better than the vegan one on the stomach.

    Otherwise, you can also increase your protein intake by taking gelatin or beef colostrum instead of protein powder.

    Broccoli ... that's my bane. Mix that with several whey shakes a day and the results can peel paint. Although it doesn't keep me locked in my house, I'm sure there are several people that would like to lock me in there. ;)

    LOL. I'm the same. I just need to look at broccoli and I start to fart. It also bloats me massively.

    High fiber food is my issue too.
    Whenever I eat salad (veg), I always end up with weird sounds from tummy which normally settles down after I eat banana... do you eat salads daily.

    I don’t take protein shakes so no idea on that.

    Me too! I've been making a suuuuper basic wheat dough (flour, water, yeast, salt) and keeping it in the fridge to make flat breads with fresh, but this sounds way more exciting!
