Question

OK am so sorry if this is TMI here. but doesn’t anyone have very bad gas on this diet ? I’m getting nervous something is wrong :(

Answer 1

Actually my gut got better on this diet. I had inflammation in my joints and IBS problems and they went away on this diet

Comments

Yep. Me too.  

---

@albemarle me too because we cut the carbs which cause the inflammation

Answer 2

It is often from too many if the gas producing veggies. Stick ti zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, mushrooms, etc for a week or so. Oroducys higher in sugar alcohols (IPA or IP) can cause some stomach distress. In more extreme situations, it is possible to develop allergies such as soy or whey.  

Comments

@footrope thank u for responding . Not to be gross but it’s pretty extreme the smell and frequency . Gosh Idk what to do

Answer 3

I have to fight constipation but not too much gas.  

Answer 4

At times I think it all depends on what vegetables you’re eating

Answer 5

I’m only eating spinach or zucchini

Answer 6

I have constipation and I burp now

Answer 7

Yes, I was eating too much broccoli.  

Answer 8

Try adding a probiotic. Check the sugar alcohols in products. Look at your protein source. Eliminate soy for a few days. If no change, eliminate whey. Process of elimination. Nothing is wring.  

Answer 9

Ok thank you so much everyone

Answer 10

Try digestive enzymes. They helped.  

Comments

@drollery2 do you recommend a certain kind ?  

---

I believe IP has some as part of the protocol. I use these as I already had a huge bottle. I also noticed that it got better when my body adjusted to the plan.  

---

@drollery2 thank you . I’ve been on the plan for over a month  

---

@rencontre995 give them a try & hang in there. It will get better!  

---

@drollery2 thank u so much

---

Thank you everyone this is extremely helpful  

Answer 11

I was having issues as well, I started using asking the IP probiotic and it helps!  

Comments

@reimer thank you so much I didn’t even though there was one !  

---

@rencontre995 actually I just looked it up and it’s not IP but I get it through my coach.

@reimer thank you . Did you also have the same problem I have ?  

---

@rencontre995 yep, not fully hone but much better since I started the probiotic. I still get occasional stomach gurgling

Answer 12

I occasionally get diarrhea

Answer 13

Add the probiotic and digestive enzymes to your day.  

Answer 14

It’s all the protein. It is very normal

Answer 15

I thought it was from broccoli and cauliflower

Comments

@variegated I eat a ton of cauliflower & I didn’t have a problem until this week (a month in). I did notice that adding broccoli in the same day made it worse. Thankfully, the constipation has subsided. I started taking the branch chain aminos last week and I think that may have helped.  

Answer 16

I was fine until in about 2 1/2 months then I started getting gas and upset stomach. It’s not the vegetables I’m eating and the probiotics didn’t help me at all.  

Comments

@turnip I'm two months in and can't figure it out. I think its cauliflower or broccoli. I've been fine before this.  

---

@runnerup5 yes. Me too. I’ve changed nothing.  

Answer 17

Constipation causes gas most of the time

Answer 18

Pay attention to the alcohol sugars as well as the other ingredients in the packets. I stick to the gluten free and unrestricted ones. Love the ready made vanilla and chocolate drinks, orange drink, raspberry gelatin and crispy squares. The chocolate pudding too. Look for products with fewer ingredients. The digestive enzyme and probiotic should also help. Please let us know how you are doing as you try different things.  

Comments

@musician I will for sure . I just took a probiotic tonight bc it got painful tonight  

Answer 19

Motor boat here

Comments

@roberts lol

Answer 20

I do! All the time!  

Answer 21

More with broccoli & cauliflower

Answer 22

I take a tsp of milk of Mag daily and citracil caplets with glass of water. Works well on all low carb diets I've been on. Keeps things moving so gas doesn't build up.  

Answer 23

Got that natural funk. This is the ONLY reason I’m OK with being quarantined.  

Answer 24

Yep. And constipated too. Smooth Move tea at night has been helping, and I think it tastes great too! I don’t crave honey or milk, like I usually have to put in hot tea.  

Answer 25

Broccoli and cauliflower, and yes Sucralose! The low sucralose things don’t bother me as much, but the bars and water enhancer Oiy!
