Keep getting SEVERE gas (farting like a trooper) ?

It is very bad, as in I get bloated and I fart a lot more than I should do and it is very uncomfortable, and I am damned if I can work out the cause.

I must admit, I do eat these very high fibre grain bars (5.2 grammes a bar) and have started having a bowl of bran flakes before bed, but what else could be causing this?

Outside of that, I have a sandwich for lunch, and usually a healthy vegetarian meal and lots of veggies for dinner (I never got gas from that before)

Could the exercise I do be making this worse? (stationary bike immediately after getting up)

Vegetarian diets generally cause more wind than meat eating.
Typical foods that cause wind are beans and cabbage - go look on the net for the list of wind causing foods.
Yes those high fibre bars are probably the cause of the gas.
You can take charcoal tablets (health food stores) that absorb the gas/smell if you are embarassed or you could stop eating gas producing foods.
The exercise would not make a difference to the gas.
You could also try drinking a pro biotic drink or eating some probiotic yoghurt (the one that has the good bacteria in it). This would address any imbalance in the normal gut flora that might be adding to the problem.

Otherwise - enjoy and use your talent as a weapon!!!

having gas is a sign that says you are healthy, It means that your digestive system is working good. The fiber could be the cause of your issues. Try not eating as many in a week or stop eating them for a week and see what happens. fibre is a good thing for your body so don't cut it out of your diet that would be very bad!!! But i don't think that exercise is the problem. Hope that helps you

This is funny but common. Yes it could be the high fibre bars and bran. Try not having a bowl of bran before bed. Everyone is different. Some people veggies will make then gassy, personally for me it is ground beef, not roast beef or steak but if I eat a hamburger or meatballs I fart like a 300 lb trucker who just ate cabbage soup.

Different sources of fiber can cause problems for different people. Some people say that easing into a new fiber source can help reduce this problem, but that definitely doesn't fix the problem in every case. Try eliminating the different sources of fiber that you have added to your diet recently and see if the problem goes away. When (if) it does, add them back one at a time and see if you can find the problem. Being methodical and adding them to your diet one at a time may give your body more time to adjust to the different sources and things may improve from that alone.

Well I think it is from all the milk and the cereal! If you have cereal with MILK at night then when you go to bed it is sitting in your stomach!!! Then the next day it is stuck in there until it can come out!(i know thats pretty nasty but you gotta do what you gotta do!) So yeah its not your exercising at all! I promise it is all the milk and crap that you eat at night that is just sitting in your stomach! So just try not eating any milk or things like that at night!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA
