Feeling gassy in the intestines

[RuRog]

What's the deal with Jake and feeling very gassy. And it's not ordinary gassiness – it's also very malodorous. Any tips on getting rid of this side effect?

Same here.

I guess this can probably be attributed to much more fibre or protein in Jake, as compared with the average diet. Not sure whether the cause is more in protein or fibre, though...

For any gut related problems my wife and I consume home made yoghurt and kefir. Trillions of good bacteria and yeasts. It definitely helps.

Quick question related to this. Has anyone ever tried any anti-gas tablets like gas-x? I'd like to avoid this side-effect if possible.

Thanks,

Much simplified, gassiness is a result of your gut bacteria 'working hard'. It depends somewhat on your lifestyle and what you eat. If Jake has a higher amount of protein and fibre compared to your average diet, which is quite likely, that's probably why you're having the gassiness. Ease into using Jake, it might jsut go away.
