Why am I farting so much...?...SERIOUSLY!

[Fab Foodie]

No need to worry... until you have a follow through.

When you're over 50, never trust a fart ....

I followed through on my bike once. I was about 13 and on my way to school. Needless to say I had to turn back for home and pretend I had forgotten my weekly planner lol

...but be prepared, with Ag2R shorts and a brown saddle!

There's a reason Brooks is so popular with the older cyclists.

The same reason that used cycling clothing (especially shorts) is hard to shift for the over 50's lol

If I eat a meatball and mozarella paninni from my local deli at lunchtime, the evenings become filled with phrases such as "i bet you are proud of that one" and "is that you or the dog"

How often do you clean your bottles?

I do not carry bottles as I always make sure im hydrated before my commute to work, plus I pass plenty of shops on route to work

Have you also increased you protein intake recently along with the fibre?

no the rest of my diet is pretty much the same. ive only stopped eating more fast foods and, my protein intake does need a little lift I think.. Breakfast is granola. Lunch a beef melt from subway *most convenient prior to work*, dinner is usually aroubd 2-4am after I finish work .. that varies between fish, other meats and veg.
my diet is pretty much routine now.

That said I'm always fairly windy, although rarely do these as smell badly as you describe.

This reminded me of a joke.....or is it a true story?

An old lady goes to the doctor with a personal problem.

‘I constantly get this terrible wind,’ she complains, ‘it’s silent, and doesn’t smell at all, but it’s giving me dreadful stomach cramps – I’m having one right now. Is there anything you can do for me?’

The doctor prescribes her some pills and tells her to come back next week.

The next week she comes back and tells the doctor. ‘Doctor, those pills have just made things worse. I’ve still got the wind and the stomach cramps, but now the wind smells absolutely terrible. What can you do?’

And the doctor say, ‘well, that’s sorted out the problems with your sense of smell, now let’s see what we can do about your hearing’.

Pay heed @byegad

I love beans on toast but now in my late 50s I'm so unable to digest the carbohydrate that I get agonising stomach cramps and appalling flatulence.

My cycling buddy is a gastroenterologist and he informed me recently that the human rectum is well enough supplied with nerves that the brain can usually tell the difference between gas, liquid and solid contents. This skill is not infallible.

raw broccoli does it for me.

As a friend of mine says "My farts don't smell".........................................."your nose smells, my farts stink"
He's right

[cyberknight]

granola gets me going and if the bananas are not ripe they give me indigestion.
