Anniversary filled with gas!! help:)

Hi congrats to everyone who hit one year. Mine was Aug 11th. I was 283 and now 213. It will take me the second year to lose the rest of the weight. I am having a horrible time with this gas, it has become more foul. I plateaued from Jan- May, life issues, move change of job, etc. Then I started seeing my nutritionist again to help jump start things. She has me on all these supplements and protein shakes from Metagenics, (won't allow any other types). I am starting to wonder if some of this is the protein shakes or the milk. I have a protein shake every morning, and then the deadly odors begin. They slow up after lunch, then start again in the evening. I can tolerate cottage cheese and yogurt. Today I thought I would change things up and not have a shake for breakfast. I had an egg. No gas most of morning. I then had a protein bar (Protein Fusion by Metagenics) and guess what? It started after that. Does Beano help? I am not sure if this is lactose intolerance or what but I may try Lactaid also, but I just can't figure out if it is the protein supplements or the milk. Here I am a year out and I shouldn't have to be paying all this money for nutritional consults and $300 month in fish oils, bars, and Ultra meal plus shakes, as well as probiotics, and here I am, smellier than ever. My goodness I will never find a husband with this gas!!! Thanks!

Wow Stephanie! I remember early out when I had the bad smelly gas. I used those supplements that you take...can't remember the name now. But they do work. Little brown pills...helps with the gas smell. They did advertise on OH. It sounds like the protein is the issue....whew do I remember that! Air freshner didn't help mine. Hugs, Traci

Wow.... I am having the same problem.... and I must say my family is not liking it at all. I can clean the room out....lol. In all seriousness it is very embarassing. I don't like to go out anymore because of it. I can't help it or hold it in. Never ever had this problem in my life. I had the surgery in Aug. 2006. Let me know if you find out any good solutions or if anyone has any - my email is [email protected]. Thanks

Hold it. Did you check to see if you are now lactose intolerant? That happens often and the gas from that smeels bad. Many protein shakes have dairy in them. Go back to the basics with 100% lactaid milk, sugar fee chocolate syrup and 1/4 c egg beaters to make a shake and see if you are still having problems. If not, then you probably are lactose intolerant. Lactaid pills don't always work with our teeny tummies.
