 I don't have gas but since day one and I am on day 8 of optifast I been going to the bathroom not long after drinking my shake and it has not stopped. IDK I am thinking its my my body clensing itself out or something. Plus going to the bathroom every 10 mins its annoying because of drinking so much water in between to keep away the hunger. Goodluck I wanted to die the first three days. Now it is not so bad.
 Be Happy and live your life to the fullest

Oh yes the gas was BAAAAD. Between that, my breath and my pee stinking I was a ball of nasty. It is 'normal'. It should calm down a bit in a few days, but you (and your other half) may be stuck with it for a while. Thank goodness it is summer and you can open the windows. I almost broke down and bought some of those charcol filtering underwear...lol. I bought an airfreshner for work instead.



My son was pretty proud of me at first (he is 13 and I guess it is a boy thing to like stinky farts), but after a few he too was grossed out.



This too will pass (pun intended).



Take care and good luck on your journey,



Kristie

Geez, I must be missing out I am on day 5 of Optifast and no smelly gas or gas at all. I do pee alot due to the water and my mouth is the driest and pastey like to the point I am gagging at times but it will soon be over!

I'm on day 6 and no gas. Probably less then normal I'd say. I bought mouthwash to keep at work for when I'm feeling pastey and that has been helping me feel a little refreshed. I pee a lot too with all the water.

LOL!!! I still almost "kill" my bf (and myself) HAHA! He says "you're brutal!!!" to me all the time.

I suck on "dentyne" breath mints.. before optifast, while on optifast and still do today...

Thanks, I wasn't sure about mints but it would definitely help the problem. I'll try that.

I guess tanya and i are pretty much the same - im Day 3 of 21 - peeing like a racehorse - pastie  mouth especially after vanillia shakes - no trots or bad gas - so far so good - knock on wood - I certainly prefer the chocloate over the vanillia thats for sure - since i 50/50 ordered i have to figure out better vanillia flaour additions than orange crystal light and raspberry peach cyrstal light thats for sure - Keep going everyone - if your complaining about it - your doing it and not cheating and thats SUPER !!!
