    You simply cannot tell me that your diet is healthy when the aroma of your gastrointestinal tract is “death”

          You do know plants were alive too, right?

          But also, most protein powders are milk based, and plenty of people are lactose intolerant and just never connect the dots that protein powder has lactose. So they get intestinal issues. .

              There’s definitely more plant-based protein powders out there these days, but whey still makes up the majority.

              Apparently the plant based powders are more likely to have lead contamination problems.

            Thats a fair point actually, I was thinking dead things like something that died in a ventilations duct and kinda jumped to animals specifically, but they could technically mean dead plants too

              An old roommate of mine would try different protein powders. The plant based ones were the worst when he’d rip ass.

              The worst overall was when he had the meat based protein powder. He didn’t wash the blender after that one once and we had to get rid of it.

            Not just many, nearly every single adult will develop some form of lactose intolerance as they age, and as you say, a huge portion will never connect the dots l.

              Not nearly that high. Globally, around 35% of adults have lactase persistence. 65% of adults lose it and become lactose intolerant, but it also depends heavily on race.

              For those with Central and Northern European roots, most are lactase persistent. Like over 90%. That decreases as you move south and east, with <5% of East Asian adults being lactase persistent and 95% being lactose intolerant.

              In the US, 70-75% of adults are lactase persistent, due to the heavy European ancestry of Americans.

        Well, it has to do with that dead stuff decaying if it stays there too long.

        This is gonna get a little TMI, so I’ll spoil it. But long answer short, it will smell bad, obviously But if it smells that bad, you should see a doctor.

        PSA: Pay attention to this kind of thing, it could save your life.

        So, we know how digestion basically works, right? You chew your food, swallow it, it takes an acid bath in your stomach, and it breaks down into pulp and nutrients that your small intestine soaks up. That waste moves through a phase 2 in your large intestine for good measure, and then is discarded. Easy peasy, clench and squeezy.

        Until it doesn’t.

        People who have: a bad diet low in insoluble fiber and high in protein, an infection or illness related to their GI tract (Crohn’s, IBS, Celiac disease), are taking certain drugs or medications (opioids and amphetamines being two major culprits), or other issues will experience one of three things.

        Option A, shit literally moves so fast that nothing of value gets absorbed and you end up malnourished. Option B, your plumbing is full of problems and seriously catastrophic things happen if you don’t exclusively subsist on the stuff on the List of Safe Foods For Your Bad Plumbing. Or, Option C… the whole line shuts down and things crawl through so slowly it comes out like rock.

        C stands for constipation, if you didn’t catch that. When your large intestine doesn’t move matter through fast enough, the water in that payload keeps doing what osmosis does best and migrating to an area of high concentration. If your colon is failing in its primary job (reclaiming water and salts, fermenting useful and interesting things, and draining the lymphatic system), it can be a really, really big problem. Especially if it gets bad enough that you get to the impaction phase.

        It will literally start to rot. Inside your body. And the gas and residual particles that escape will come out in two ways; in a fart that smells like absolute death, or (in the ‘Go to the fucking hospital right now’ scenario), in your breath.

        It’s genuinely, actually dangerous to your health if things don’t move through on a regular schedule. And those bowel movements shouldn’t have the texture of gravel and it definitely shouldn’t last longer than maybe 20-30 seconds at a push. If you’re constantly straining to move solid rock, there’s a problem. If you have people fleeing the bathroom if they go in immediately after you’re done, there’s a problem. And if, especially if, you’re making that deposit at the bank less than once a week – but you’ve been farting a lot or trying and can’t go – there is a big problem.

        Constipation can lead to a lot of extremely serious issues, and there are tons of warning signs to look out for. Treating it is a mixed bag, and it can be anything from a temporary issue to a major health crisis. Long-term, the problems you’re looking at can range from hemorrhoids to hernias. If you know people on long-term opioid-based pain medication (or who abuse opioids), this is a real threat to their health. Acute problems, like you see in people who’ve recently been on a fuckton of antibiotics, can be a major emergency.

        This is a gross conversation to have, yeah. But a shocking number of people think that these warning signs are genuinely normal. Fulfilling a normal bodily function shouldn’t be painful. If it is, talk to a doctor.

        Because between those 2 holes, there are trillions of living organisms that will make it smell less like death. They use it to create life and help heal your body. Unless you treat them like shit and have a shit diet. Then you smell like death.

        I have been known to smell like death when my diet goes to hell.

      I think a lot has to do with the microflora one has. The microflora can absolutely be influenced by diet but part is simply unique to the specific person. The specific bacteria one is exposed to at birth has a huge impact for the rest of your life as your immune system tends to attack bacteria that you didn’t have in your first weeks of life. Taking antibiotics can also permanently alter the micro flora. I know more than one family where one specific member has horrific farts but the others don’t despite basically identical diet. So it really can just be bad luck. Not everyone drinking protein shakes gets horrific farts but some do.

      I was trying to finish a 18 eggs in a week because I needed to travel

      The level of sulfur in my farts was comparable to visiting a sulfur mine. It was absolutely brutal.

      I did not finish all 18. 18 is a lot of eggs. I am not Gaston or Cool Hand Luke.

          That’s only about 2.5 eggs per day. Cook a 3 egg omelette for breakfast for 4 days, and you’ve already used up a dozen. Make some egg salad for lunch a few times, and cook a few pans of brownies or cookies, and you’ll burn through them easily.

          Pies, choux pastry and a roasted egg for breakfast.

          You can rack eggs up incredibly fast.

          When bored of the above, tortilla de patatas, filodough packs, quiche Lorraine, add as a side, even Ramen with a single egg in is plenty to reach 3 a day

          I did two eggs for breakfast and a fried egg sandwich for 3 days, then just the sandwich, then omelettes, but it wasn’t enough.

        A 12oz protein shake can have 41g protein @ 230 calories

        To get the same from black beans you’d have to consume 2.75 cups of black beans @ 624 calories

        That’s a huge chunk of your daily calorie intake + the other effects that beans will have in your intestines, no thank you

    One time my dad farted at the store and he could not escape it. The fart followed him around the entire store.

    One time I crop dusted an aisle and it was so bad even to me I had to get out of there. It could have peeled paint off the walls. Half a minute later I heard someone rather loudly proclaim, “Oh my God! It smells like somebody shit their pants!” from the next aisle over. I wish I could remember what I ate because I had a winner that day.

    I probably make the company lose money and i feel very guilty cuz it was managed by only 2/3 people and we were less than 10 people 😭
