severe gas after workout

eVoluti0n · 05-06-2008, 12:03 PM

I will say that during the past year my intestines have not functioned correctly, for unknown reasons which I'm still trying to diagnose with a doctor.

I seem to have a problem with severe gas 2 hours later after I workout. As soon as I finish a workout, I have a protein shake like I've always had in the past, without problems. However, two hours later I now seem to have severe gas and it lasts for a good 2-3 hours. I don't know why it happens, I just want it to go away and eliminate it. Does anyone else have this problem?

This only happens after I workout, no matter what time of day or what I eat PWO, it just seems to be really bad and quite annoying if you know what I mean. :P

Try activated charcoal. At the very least, if it doesn't eliminate or decrease the gas it will help with the odor.

How is your diet in terms of carbs/fiber? Do you eat a lot of cruciferous veggies, beans and other gas forming foods? What kind of protein do you drink? Its been known to happen that indigestion/malabsorption can sometimes spontaneously occur in people (IE a person can drink milk their whole lives' and when they're 30 can become lactose intolerant). How often do you move your bowels? Do you have to strain to get it out? Are they formed or liquidy? What about color? Pain in the abdomen? If so where?

What has the doc been doing to try and diagnose?

I was told ginger ale helps, tried it a couple of times and somehow it worked.

Oh yeah i actually forgot about that. Ginger will aid with digestion. As well you can buy digestive enzymes in pill form. Take half an hour before eating, it might help.
