Ok before you all start laughing uncontrollably please hear me out. I have been using Carb Solutions protein powders and AdvantEdge protein bars to boost my protein intake. I am on a "leaning" diet to lose BF% so I am attempting to go something like 40/40/20 protein/carbs/fat. The problem comes with the shakes or bars...in a word they give the worst case of "sewer butt" I have ever had. My wife and daughter are about to gag out! What can I do? I tried the soy shakes and didnt like the taste. I like the way my current shakes and bars taste but I am not going to have my wife chasing me all over the house lighting matches to get rid of the dreaded "sewer butt". Any suggestions to help me get rid of this awful gas problem?

I hate to admitt I suffered from this same problem,I tracked my foods, tried everything.The cleaner I ate and the more protien I added the worse it got and the source of the protien made no difference. What has worked for me is taking digestive enzymes, they contain pacreatin, which is a pancreatic enzyme that conatains a complete mix of protiolyasis, lipases and amylases to digest protein, fat and carbs. I picked them up at the health food store. And can not believe how much better I feel! good luck.
