Find a health store specialized in nutrition (I know you got all those stores selling only pills in the States....) You can find it there. It helps, so I guess it's worth a try before this earth get all poluted by farting Bodybuilders!!!! lol
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/16, 11:54 AM There's a product out there called GasX...supposed to help with gas. Hey, just be proud to be a farting bodybuilder!! That separates us from the normal population!! Just put on lots of perfume/cologne to mask the odor. LOL!!!

In a weird way this works to my advantage the guys I work out with sometimes like to chit chat while were working out and when i'm in a groove with my training and I need to do a certain lift and they are Bsing where I need to be I give a verbal warning before I fire. Now a verbal is all it takes. LOL
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/18, 09:24 AM Very often one gets more gas when just starting taking a new product. Your body will get use to it, and then stop producing so much gas. Well, we can always hope! lol

MuscleRage Posts: 203 Joined: 2001/12/09	2002/01/19, 05:30 PM I usually do drop the bomb without warning...thats the bad thing about it...lol!! jbennett great idea!
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/21, 05:36 PM I also noticed an increase in gas after taking ZMA. Any of you guys take this stuff? So, not only do we drop bombs during workout, but also in our sleep...LOL!!!
MuscleRage Posts: 203 Joined: 2001/12/09	2002/01/22, 07:42 AM I have taken ZMA a couple of times and i had a little gas, but I couldnt really tell considering I was asleep.
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2002/01/22, 07:48 AM ZMA shouldn't be the problem!!!!! Bodybuilder have this common problem. Add 1 Tablespoon of Sugarfree Orange Metemusil to your diet (take evening) and you will solve many of your GAS problems. Try it let me know.
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2002/01/22, 07:52 AM ZMA is just Zinc and Magnesium. Mag can have a laxative effect in VERY high doses. Not enough in ZMA to have that problem unless you triple the dose. Stuff works great for sleeping!
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/01/22, 11:34 AM Yes, it does help me sleep! I take only the recommended dosage (3 capsules). I'll try the metamucil and let you know...thanks Leslie! -- Robert
