Carb Farts
 

Spent a long weekend with a friend, and we indulged in things like hummus and pita bread. she kept referring to carb farts she was having as a result of the food we ate. Anyone ever hear anything similar?

ROTFLMAO :lol:

Yep, I sure have, I just never discussed it with anyone

Yep...I'm doin' a refeed and have been "jet-propelled" since yesterday afternoon....

I blame the chickpeas. And wheat. :blush:

no wonder i can't get a date on carbup weekends hahaha... i should have a sign attached to me that says "NO SMOKING WITHIN 30feet... HIGHLY FLAMABLE GAS" wahahahaha

nice camera Kirsten :) and even nicer progress :D

After DH and I started locarbing last June, it took us about 2 weeks to notice that this WOE was resulting in great reductions in passing of gas. A couple of times since I've eaten too many carbs and the first sign is usually gas pains. Uh oh.

LMAO!! :D hehehehehe yup carbs do do that to you!

My sister came to visit a while back and I made her stop eating carbs while she was at my house because her gas was soooo horrendous. A couple of days on my way of eating and she was loving the fact that she had lost all the bloat and eye-stinging farts.

I haven't experianced any of that....I got lucky! I don't pass gas anymore..and if I do...its around my TOM!!! LOL!!!!

i get the toots all the time, and i thought it was because of all the veggies i eat. broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, all those gas producing veggies. You're telling me that everything makes you fart except protein?

Wow, I have never experienced that.

But I HAVE experienced that with those sugar free chocolates >_<

OMG, talking about the SF chocolates...I ate a few too many one day and the whole car ride home my daughter kept asking me "what stanks" (she's already got that Nashville twang). When I eat true low carb (no LC products) my life is wonderful, as soon as I slip something into the mix, there's all kinds of hell to pay.

Yep -- I just came off a cheating binge for a few days :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and was tooting like crazy! I know it's the carbs because when I'm following LC I hardly ever, ever do it (except if I eat sf ice cream :rolleyes: ). Yet ANOTHER benefit to low carbing -- gotta love it!! Now, if I could only get DH to follow this.... :D
