OK Embarrassing question but i need help!
 

Ok here it goes,

I have been on atkins for about 3 months ( took a break for christmas though) and since starting back on thie WOE on jan 5th I have had horrible stinky farts, I mean so bad my DH slept on the couch, they smell like rotten eggs.

I am lactose intolerant so i am cutting cheese out but other then that i am eating nothing new what could this be?!?!?!?!?! please help this is really putting a damper on my love life and is very Embarrassing. :cry: :tears:

please help! :help:

Are you eating a lot of eggs? That could do it. Honestly

Are you eating alot more raw veggies then before you started this WOE? It could be just your body adjusting. Eggs could also be part of the problem, some people may be sensative.

Are you eating anything at all with sugar alcohols? Malitol has that effect on me nastily.

Also your system may be cleaning out depending on how bad you took time off for the holidays. The massive carb influx may of messed with your system.

No i do not eat eggs at all I never have. i think in my life time i have had 2 cooked eggs and puked after each one.

so eggs are not the problem.
but thanks for tring!

Some of the veggies (eg brocolli) could be doing it?

If you were fine before your Christmas break, it could be your body re-adjusting to this WOE. Give it a few more days and see how it goes...

I have produced some record breaking stinkers in my house too. So give your body some time and just blame the dog. :)

ahem...my farts don't stink.

Hey Pet,
I know that I get painful gas from sorbitol... are you eating anything with that in it, sf candies or anything? I once had sorbee gummy bears, and only 5 little bears just about killed me it hurt so much....

I would stop eating SF candy, chocolate ANY fo those low carb bars... all of that can cause it...

Not that I fart or anything but I bet you are lactose intolerant. Ive had similar issue

I gotta second what jade has said....sorbitol rips me a new one...oh sorry....didn't mean to be so graphic. ahem...

anytime i have had carbs i shouldnt have until they are completely out of your system it does terrible things to your insides. my husband has started telling anyone who offers me sugar or carbs she doesnt eat that. it is pretty funny

LOL Chud, you sound like my DH.. Calls it his carbo-Rator back firing.

Too many sugar-free chocolate products (chocolate coated protein bars, Atkins Endulge bars, etc.) can certainly cause really nasty emissions!!!

Also, lots of Texas BBQ brisket does the same. As does blackened chicken on a caesar salad. Those are my top three culprits.

Do you make your own? If not be careful BBQ sauce can have something like 30g carbs per tbsp. The stuff is almost pure sugar

really watch out for lo-carb candy like gummies, the fruit slices, the jelly beans, those are deadly!! When I buy carbo-lite snacks, my kids tell my hubby.."watch out, mom just bought some carbo-lax!!" haha!!
