Vegetarians with stinky gas?!


Question:

Vegetarians with stinky gas?

Now that I have switched to a vegetarian diet, I have horrible problems. I smell! It's very embarrassing.....what causes this? Why won't it stop?


Answers:
That's pretty common when you first switch. Your body is dealing with lots of extra fibre. The fibre is also acting as an intestinal broom to 'sweep' all the muck off your intestinal walls that has built up in all your meat-eating years. You can imagine that it wouldn't smell too good.

Make sure you chew your food well, eat real yoghurt (even if only a couple of tablespoons) or take a probiotic supplement and drink a strong cup of peppermint tea or fennel tea when you feel gassy. Peppermint tea is my saviour on those days!

The gas will slow down and only come up occasionally, as with anyone. Have faith and congratulatios on your choice!

try to eat bio yoghurt once a day...usually it helps

Everybody has gas and nobody's smells good. Eat some Beano.

You may be overeating or undereating... both cause gastric problems... try eating enough quantity and timely food. veg food should not create any kinda problem

heres some info for you to go threw hope you find the answer

Well broccoli, cauliflower, beets, and cabbage are all very gassy vegetables. Beans are good for gas also. There is a lot of fiber in vegetables which promotes the production of gas as well as other matter. Once your body adapts to the change the gas will slowdown.
