What the fuck do you do about protein farts?

ad

I swear man, it’s like the better I look the worse I smell. I’m trying some digestive enzymes with each meal and they seem to help with the volume of gas but when it comes it’s still damn lethal. Heavy sulfur.

Could some digestive disfunction be attributed to longer and higher dose anabolic exposure? I could see orals causing problems but not using any at the moment and haven’t in a long time.

It's probably not the protein itself but the source. Do you take in dairy and eggs? If so, cut those first.

I may give full plant based a go for my protein powders. Worth a shot.

UncleYoked's picture

Ah, protein powder is the culprit for sure. I don't use them myself for that reason.

If you’re fast enough and the car is warmed up you can kick the the heat on high and cook it, it really brings out the aromatics, produces a nice, bouquet, if you will.

Well, at my age, when I blast out a good protein fart, I’m actually excited it wasn’t a Shart, LOL. I’m usually out on the road daily, but when I’m in the office, and I feel a good protein fart coming on, I go for a stroll around the office and Crop Dust the people I’m not fond of, LMAO!! Gotta give them a good reason not to like you when they give you an attitude for no reason, LOL!

Shart...lmao! I forgot about those kind. Skidmarks

My biggest enjoyment of these type of farts is when I’m food shopping with my wife. I will crop dust half of an aisle and just start laughing and my wife always knows why I’m laughing without even smelling it. She always gets mad at me for it. It’s on my list of favorite things to do. She thinks I need therapy

Every time I go shopping with the gf I do the same, when someone else walk down isle. She knows when she she's this look and I walk away lol

I find pretending it’s the dog farting works most of the time. You can blame them for other stuff too…..

Glad I’m not alone in this fellas

I was just going to comment on digestive enzymes but you have that covered. Yeah we can't get around sulphur unfortunately. Maybe try a little more water intake with protein meal or shake. Really no way around it though.

Bearded_muscle's picture

Yeah I’ve delt with gas off and on since I started bodybuilding in my teens and just assumed it’s standard. Sometimes you switch proteins and it goes away for a while but seems like it always comes back eventually.

DeeMan's picture

For sure. Try some apple cider vinegar. I'm throwing things at the wall and hoping something sticks. But yea it comes down to digestibility

bigred250's picture

If I am going out or need to be professional for an event, I will typically take some GasX or some gas relief tablet. As far as food sources go I found that dairy based protein made it worse for me. Recently I have switched to a plant based protein and yeah the macros aren't as friendly like isolate protein is but the digestion is incredibly better and I have gotten significantly less gas. One scoop of plant protein (40g) is 130 cal, 21 protein, 5 carbs and 4 fat. I will typically blend a few scoops with almond milk, bananas or frozen fruit.

Bearded_muscle's picture

I’m starting to mix in plant based like half and half, does seem to help some

Drexyl's picture

My issue isn’t about the odor, it’s the sheer volume. I’m a gassy person by nature, always have been, but when I ramp things up it gets to a ridiculous level. I’ve had a girlfriend criticize it in the past. And no, there’s no holding it, I’d be leaving the room constantly. I can eek them out with the side cheek lean and string discipline and years of training, but I can also rip out an impressive butt tuba blast that will summon ancient Norse gods.

Are they that bad that you can even make that Fat cat leave the room??!! LMFAO

Bro, there’s absolutely no way to blame these on the cat. I’ve tried. It’s embarrassing sometimes, I fart in department stores. I used to work with this Vietnamese guy, that was really the only time I’d put effort into holding it in. I’d save up a good one then wait until I saw him get on the elevator, I’d put my hand or leg in to stop the door and get on. He’d freak out every time. I’d almost pass out from laughter. “Wat wong wit you! Wat wong wit you?!?! Alway pfffft pfffft, go take shit!”

press1's picture

There is absolutely NOTHING worse than being trapped in a lift with some arsehole that decides to let out a trouser fart, you have no choice but to breathe it in knowing those fumes are in your mouth and you can do nothing about it. Until those doors open its trapped in that metal box not going anywhere. Funniest is when you are in by yourself and think the coast is clear, you let one rip and when you get out some poor unsuspecting person walks into it and you hear the doors close on them. Poor Bastards ...... Lmfao

You've just pulled this really sexy woman in town, everything's going great once you get back home and its looking like anal is on the cards (for you and her!!! lmfao) you take a nosedive further south and think you've just arrived at the local fish market Bad

Had a girl fart in my face doing 69. She kinda had just a small gag reflex and when she did, she ripped one really loud. She was mortified at first and I laughed so hard I lost my breath, then she started laughing. She was a fun chick.

I'm at the station losing my shit here and my partner thinks I'm on crack or something reading this.....

Drexyl's picture

He was funny without trying, a guy pulled out his phone to show a pussy pic this woman sent him, Vietnamese guys reply? “It rook rike oyster.” Ok, kinda worth a chuckle, but a couple weeks later on a morning shift, after coming in I was bitching about being tired, his reply? “Too mutsch oyster.”

Mac12769's picture

He's a good sport.

DeeMan's picture

Hope all you guys are checking your underwear when this type of horrible thing happens! Bet alot of underwear were thrown away as a result.

Drexyl's picture

It’s like a box of unwanted kittens though, have to find a restaurant or apartment complex dumpster to leave them by, it’s not something you can just throw out at home.

DeeMan's picture

Lol I figured that. Just the other day I went to Home Depot and had to use restroom. I look in trash to throw my paper towel away only to see 2 pair of filthy ass underwear inside trash can. Too much protein I guess. I can only imagine..total nuke disaster!

Drexyl's picture

Or those delicious hot dogs they sell out front of the place

DeeMan's picture

Lol maybe it's not the protein but hot dogs that you're eating! You know those mobile taco stands? I hear they are notorious for causing a nuke explosion. I never tried those mobile stands.

Drexyl's picture

The Home Depot’s near me all have these hot dog stands, they’re more like a hut though, sheds almost. I can usually fight the urge, but they have these Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches with onions, I am only human. They’re grilled, how bad can an occasional one be right?
