Oatmeal = Farts ?

[iEatRAW]

Since I reduced my oat intake I smell much better. Am I insane ?

[CakeNcream]

fiber

Actually that makes no god damn sense CockNcream

[Fanya]

flatulence is partly (or mostly, i dunno) air you take in while eating, so stop eating air

edit: actually i think you are more concerned with your scent, so disregard my post

Omg this topic really meant something to me.... I've been living off muesli all week no fucking joke (That and celery) and I've been letting off around once every 5 mins. Earlier tonight I had the first food that wasn't muesli... That was Chinese food. :good:

Do you use milk to make your oatmeal?

[iEatRAW]

no, the receipe was, oats'n'stuff but never milk

Me and regular oats = so many hideous farts
Me and occasional oats = some farts
Me and no oats (and much less carbs in the morning) = like close to none

Flatulence is the buildup of gasses from the digestive process. So yeah most likely Oats give you worse/more frequent farts depending on the person.

[Rahf]

Flatulence is natural. Depending on how often you do it of course.

Actually that makes no god damn sense CockNcream

really cause it makes sense to me

[Kitosho]

Could be your body adjusting to high fiber intake. Or you could just get digestive disturbance from oats - it's not uncommon with grain foods. Try building up slowly.

[DeeJay]

Fiber and milk would do it for me.

[iEatRAW]

I guess my body mostly likes vegetables and meat.

Oatmeal a lot soluble fibre compared to other foods. Thread closed.

[TonyBkk]

The unpleasant odor of flatulence comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain hydrogen sulfide.

Oatmeal is high in soluble fiber, (Hence CockNcreams comment about Fiber). Soluble fiber dissolves in water forming a gelatinous substance in the bowel, this is a perfect food-source for any bacteria hiding out in there.

On the other hand, insoluble fiber as found in wheat, rye, bran, and other grains do not dissolve in water. It is not used by intestinal colon bacteria as a food source, so these sources generally do not produce intestinal gas.
