Bad Gas / Wind on Slim & Save is this normal ? Newbie

[sweetstuff]

Hi everyone, I am a newbie I started slim and save on Monday, I am not sure whether I have entered ketosis as I have really bad gas, OMG it stinky and I am not sure whether its from the flavoured water powder or the bars, or its just a reaction to Ketosis ? does anyone know, I still feel hunger pains and I am now on day 7, wondering whether that's normal or whether its my body playing tricks on me. Maybe its just the side effects off the diet etc, I have been using the client meal planner and it does say i am in deep ketosis, etc, I am hoping that the smelly gas goes away lol

Would love any buddies to speak to or any help and advice xx

Thanks for your time

Hi, I'm not sure I can answer ur question but will share my experience. I felt like it took a good wk for me to get in ketosis on S&S (previously 3/4 days on LT). I have also had wind, not particularly smelly tho. I've also had some abnormal bathroom activity, at the risk of TMI lets just say, I wouldn't trust a pump in the first couple of weeks lol x

Yeah noisy tummy, gassy and stinky. In the bath I could make my own stinky hot tub! It settles down after a while (into week three I think) I think it is to do with the lack of bulk in your system giving it a good old clear out and all the nutrients in the packs. Could be wrong though.

I had an 'explosive' toilet incident around day 7 ish.. was fine before that, and been fine since then!

Still feel bloated all the time, I guess it'll settle at some point hopefully, very gassy too, so I guess it's normal..

It's fairly normal. Your body is going through a change of consumed products. When there's a drastic diet change, body has to develop and adapt enzymes in the gut to deal and digest this 'new' stuff. So while it adjusts it can have some bloaty-gassy and smelly side effects. It will pass in a week or two. Stick with it, you're ok!

Though obviously keep an eye on it - if you feel unwell - go see your doctor and stop the diet - a chemical may be heavily disagreeing with you! So be careful

Totally normal. I notice you mention the water flavourings - I have a couple of glasses with flavouring now if I am in need of some assistance in, *ahem* going, otherwise I avoid. It gives me huge amount of painful rumblings. I've also had trapped wind in my chest so bad I was about to call an ambulance (heart disease is rife in my family) - I did the biggest loudest burp when reaching for my phone - soooo embarrassing, but can you imagine if that had waited til the blue lights arrived!!

OMG Noodles, funny you should say that! I had the 'toilet incident' on the day I tried the water flavourings! hahaha.. now I know why! I'll use that as a laxative then

Bet the burping incident was scary though..!

Good luck for the weigh in Sweetstuff!!
