  1. So just reading the topic on carbonation and too much gas reminded me of exercise and flatulence. Does anyone else here get major farting after exercise, especially with intense interval work? I've noticed it a little on the bike in the month I've been riding, but I also get it with other sports.

    Oh yeah. Happens to me all the time, usually about an hour after I stop riding. Sure wish it would kick in during the ride, I could use the extra propulsion!

    I used to have a major problem with this until I cut out any milk products completely, except cheese and lactose free milk (already treated with the enzyme lactase). I also severely reduced my consumption of carbohydrates. Now I don't get any at all. And it was bad before. 🙁

  4. Shoot- I just burp a lot when I'm training...could be the Budweiser in the bottle cage though. Apparently...from what my wife says...most of my primo farting is done during sleep.

  5. Damn! I can't believe I missed this important thread.

    Gas is part of cycling (and probably any sport where you eat power bars). I usually save up a large "load" to use against wheelsuckers and riding partners. 😄

  6. LOL we used to have farting competitions in the car on the way home from hockey. Not popular with my wife, but very funny.

  7. Kak en betaal.... yea a "lekker paar poepe" esp. early in the morning... like a wake-up call.... could put them to better use on the bike though..... where my girlfriend doesn't complain about them either.... 🙂

  8. I've noticed that Powerbars seem to produce an inordinate amount of gas. Anyone else?

    YES! It's like they're made mostly of methane. Quite useful in the slipstream, unless you're following.

  10. Ja zeker!!
