extreme flatulence

[leecy]

hi guys i wonder if you can tell me whats happening, this is my 4th day on induction and yesterday i had some crazy flatulence then diarreah !! then i weighed this morning iand i lost 1 1 pound. can someone tell me whats going on and is this how its going to be the whole time on induction :confused

Well, I experienced some diarreah during my first few days on induction as well. But I can tell you that for most of us gastric distress will go away on this WOE. Before I started Atkins I was constantly bloated or crampy or just plain ill in terms of my stomach. Now most days I sorts forget my stomach exists. Induction flu is the worst but once you get past it you will feel 110% better. :hug

Usually that is caused by yeast die off the body is trying so hard to get the yeast to die off. When this happens usually the yeast begins to formet in a way and you get horrendous gas and cramps and diarreah. This will pass as your body releases all it's sugar and you begin to kill the horrible yeas=ty guy. It should settle down in about a week. Take care of yourself and drink a lot of water to flush all the stuff and waste from your body.

Just want to ask if you are eating anything with sugar alcohols, as they can bring on wicked gas and trots in some people.

I was just going to ask the same question....I'm always sorry and vow never to eat them again! Really, really hard on the tummy!

I've been on Atkins for over a year, and I'm so nervous about what they may or may not do to me that I just won't eat them.
I'll look at them in the grocery store...especially the ice creams, because I'm past the dairy rung, but oh geez, I've heard some horror stories!

OK OK OK,
Now I can handle talks about periods... TOM.... etc.... but women talking about flatulence...... **** i didnt even know women had gas until I got married.
Just trying for a laugh....

Happy weight loss to all

women are just usually 'classier' about where they RELEASE said problem... :yikes

[higgies]

Hmmm...I think it's fairly normal to go the other way actually. ensive

I'll never forget what the 4:H guy told kids about to go to state competition..

"even the Queen of England passes gas... but not in public"


THAT's the difference......

little boys think it's funny.... and some never outgrow it.. :yikes
