Stinky Gas

Okay. I'm usually no more or less farty than the next person. But lately, I've been an unstoppable machine of farting. Perhaps it is the global energy crisis - I'm subconsciously trying out methane as a form of propulsion (so far I have not been knocked far enough to make it worth exploration). Okay...so I'm making noises...but it is the SMELL that is making me crazy!

So, what has changed in my diet? And here's where I hope to hear comments on what might cause stinky gas.....

1) Amaranth. A seed, not a grain. Eat lots of it. Makes me regular.

2) Pacific Vanilla almond milk. Need something to make the amaranth taste good. Have eaten in quantity before.

3) Tahini. I'm into tahini salad dressings right now. Prior to that I'd only eat this in humus, and only rarely

Honestly, these are the changed items. I feel so good in virtually every way right now - so it is disturbing that I am going around stenching up the planet. Any advice?

Oh yes, I have been taking probiotics when I think of it to help, but can't see every single day.

Don't eat:

grains

beans

dairy

soy

dried fruit

fruit for the most part (had a pear the other day - yum)

brocoli type veggies for the most part

just quit cashews because I read they can cause gas (and are a bean, when I thought they were a seed...insights?)

dead animals for the most part (rarely a 1/2 piece uncured bacon or some buffalo jerkey or something)

Do eat:

salads (lots of them)

tomatoes

avocados

onions

sometimes sweet potato (not too much lately)

Wow. I'm not eating a very varied diet right now. Anyway, please advise. Thanks so much.

It may be the amaranth, seeds give me a problem if I have too much. did you check the almond milk for soy? I've bene having a problem finding a brand w/o it b/c soy gives me gas also.

I always thought that broccolli, brussle sprouts and other veggy's were giving me gas, but when I went gluten free I found it really was the gluten this whol time causeing the prob. I can eat all the broccoli I want now, no problem. The only thing that has been giving me a stinky gas problem is Quinou and potatoes and if I have too much dairy, but still not as bad as a glutening...enough to make me second think about eating it :lol:

Ive noticed I am soooo much less gassy on gluten-free and when I do it isnt so stinky like before.

Anytime you take a pro-biotic it changes your intestinal flora. It could be that randomly taking them is disrupting things a bit and causing the gas.

I'd say 1 or 3 is doing it. Sesame does evil, evil things to me. I went crazy on sesame oil for awhile and had the WORST gas and terrible diarrhea. Later I found out they use it as a laxative in Chinese medicine. Oops!

Okay. I think I'll change the sesame first, since I really appreciate the calories from the amaranth. If that no worky, it is likely the amaranth. Really, I"ve been eating it every day, so it could well be the problem.

I wonder how lectin-y amaranth and sesame are. I have troubles with most lectins, but do alright with walnuts and almonds, but not almond butter or walnut butter in any quantity.

No sesame for one week! (boo hoo)

Cashews?? Cause gas??? I'm amazed at my own inability to sort my symptoms by dietary changes. Yes, I have had lots more smelly gas the last week or so. I thought it was eating more veggies, but I'm also almost halfway down the Costco jar of cashews! Sorry, family.

Well, I don't know about the lectins in various grains, but teff is another one high in protein and fiber (there is ivory teff if you don't like the brown one). Also, green peas are quite high in both fiber and protein as well. A few bowls of pea soup could literally put your daily intake above the RDI.

There's chia seeds, in case you haven't tried those (don't be fooled by ads, as both white and black chia are practically identical in most nutrients). If it was only a food fiber you wanted, coconut is loaded with it.

Yes--cashews! I get really bad gas from cashews, although I shouldn't be surprised since I'm intolerant to legumes.....

Bully--I'll betcha it's the tahini ;)

The tahini, avocado, and cashews are very high in fat content. Are you use to eating fats? I cant since I went gluten free.

I seem good with the fats, for the most part. The stench-fest literally started about the same time I hit the jar of tahini and found amaranth. I don't want it to be the amaranth since I finally have a breakfast I like. I don't want it to be the tahini cause I'm hot for my new salad dressings.

But I will admit this - I think about the tahini like while I'm sleeping...I crave it. That's probably not a good sign. I'm going to quit them both I think for a week and quit farting. Then add one back; then the other. I hate to quit either of them, but I suppose this makes the most sense.

I guess I'll go back to my raw buckwheat "oatmeal" for breakfast every other day (too heavy for every day) and lord knows what...avocado soup maybe...maybe for the others. Any ideas?

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
