ischjli Posts: 408 Joined: 2002/03/13	2002/05/23, 10:31 AM I workout and share diet tips with a co-worker. We pretty much eat similar things, but I have had a serious problem with GAS since I have begun eating so much, and he hasn't. Is anyone else experiencing this? What is an effective product for eliminating gas? It has gotten so bad at times I have to walk around for 10 minutes just to 'clear' things up......... Currently my meals look like the following: Meal 1: oats (1/2 cup), egg white (5-6), bananna, 1 1/2 cup skim milk, all blended together in a shake Meal 2: 4 pieces of french toast cooked in egg whites, 1/2 cup syrup, 2 cans slim fast Snack: 1 peice of wheat bread w/ 2 tbsp Peanut Butter Post work out: Cell Tech drink, 2 scoops whey protein/skim milk shake, bananna Meal 3: 1 cup pasta or rice, 5 ouces some meat (turkey or chicken), 1 cup veggies Meal 4: 1 cup rice, 2 baked potatoes with 2 slices fat free cheese, slim fast Meal 5: Some pasta, meat, salad, 2 scoop protein shake w/ skim milk Last Snack/Meal: Try and fit something else in... The only difference I can see from my non-workout days in the increased intake of fluids (ie- shakes, slim fast, milk) Thanks.

I have tried GasX this week with limited results but have narrowed the origin of my problem down to the Protein shakes. I am good until I start drinking them........ Cumin is next on the list. -------------- Ischjli "Seven days without exercise makes one weak."
