Too much air swallowed can cause farting
I used to be a big farter. Some day I simply had enough and looked for professional advise. Here is the result:
We swallow about 2-3 liters of air every day together with food and beverages. Eating fast, not chewing well and eating and drinking things that contain too much gas or air (coke, sprite, etc., fresh bread, ...) increase the amount of air/gas swallowed.
A part of the gas leaves the body through the mouth (belching), but the bigger part passes through the guts and causes farts.
Shakes are full of air as the process mixes air with liquid !!!
This advise seems ridiculous, but it is not. First it comes from a specialist and second it helped me get my farts under control.
Of course there are other causes for farts like certain food or food combinations. I, for example, can't stand milk with oat products, couliflower, broccoli, field mushroom, onions.
But this is individual.
Today I do my protein drinks just using whey protein, water and a spoon to mix it carefully.

Kinda related, I'm getting ready to order some protein from kilosports.com. I should get the isolate as opposed to the concentrate, yes? Also is this shit flavored?? Link if interested: https://ssl-000.9netave.com/~ux15f112/cgi-bin/secure/WheyProteinIsolate.html
I think its natural flavored, whatever the hell that is. Any other recommendations?

I'm gonna respond to a few posts here:
I am not lactose intolerant, as far as I know.
I know about the swallowing air thing, and I do notice that my shakes get all foamy when I make them--I use a little hand blender. And I like bananas and peanut butter in my shakes so not sure how you can blend bananas and PB with a spoon. Maybe mix the shake and let it sit for 15 minutes in the fridge to let the air bubbles escape? I'll try that.
As far as ordering whey protein concentrate vs. isolate, I find that the isolate is a rip off in all cases. Concentrate is like 80% protein and isolate is like 90-95%, but it's way more than 9/8 of the price. Natural means it's not flavored so it tastes like very bland milk, like almost sour. For concentrate I recommend supplementdirect.com. You can get an 11-pound bag for like $42. Also there are some protein concentrate manufacturers where you can get whey and casein for ridiculous prices like $3 a pound if you're willing to order like 55 lbs. Supplementdirect recommends adding Powdered sugar free drink or Jello mixes to flavor it. I find a banana works fine.
Thanks for the advice, and I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to that ginger question.

Farting sucks. It pisses me off that the worst time seems to be during my workouts. It is not good for flirting with chicks. The other time is at home with a woman 
Has anyone tried any of these anti-gas products?
