Farts are insane - need help

[Swathi]

I've been taking 55 g of protein daily according to my weight (45 kg) and, wow, the farts are terrible. People aren't kidding. I don't think it's the protein powder - I'm using Nakpro Impact whey isolate.

My diet is mostly eggs, skimmed milk, protein powder, soya chunks and occasional chicken breasts.

Luckily my digestion is strong. Even with very low fibre and drinking about 2.5 L of water a day, I've never had constipation.

But these super smelly farts are really embarrassing, especially as a woman. Please help.

Do women fart?

Whether it's the 55 g whey or your total protein, if it's the latter then soy could be the culprit or you might be lactose intolerant.

Keep letting them out.

I consume 240 g of protein daily and my farts hardly smell at all.

If you keep ignoring fibre, you could end up with piles - trust me, not fun. Try eating an apple or two at least.

Add fibre to your diet - legumes, fruits, vegetables and nuts. Splitting your protein into 3-4 meals instead of 1-2 and leaving a 2-3 hr gap between meals also helps a lot.

I saw a reel yesterday that said upping protein can cause digestive issues. To keep things balanced, make sure you get enough fibre.

Hope that helps.

Try to keep a 3-hour gap between eggs and any milk-based foods. For me, curd works well. It should improve the situation.

Please include fibre - it's essential for a healthy gut.
