Eating chicken gives me a sore tummy and makes MY FARTS STINK!!!

Stay away from chicken, clearly. There are plenty of other sources of protein available other than chicken including eggs, cheese, beans, lentils, yogurt, nuts...

Thank you for your advice. But...

eggs = constipation
cheese = fattening :eek:

beans = which kind?
lentils = what? :redface:

yoghurt = much lower in protein than chicken
nuts = fattening :eek:

Nuts and cheese are only fattening in large quantities. Mix it up a bit. Use any kind of beans-chickpeas, kidney beans, black eye beans....

And lentils: http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/Y/yawye/lentils.html

Aim for variety!! :biggrin:

Is it possible to just down protein pills?

Also why is chicken doing this to me?? I thought it was healthy?? :confused:

Its always better to get protein from food sources than supplements. As for why, I don't know. Maybe its to do with the fact that you have it so often. Give it a miss for a week or two and then reintroduce but only have it a few days a week, not everyday.

Do you eat the chicken with anything else or on its own?

In the "You Are What You Eat" book there's something about food combining and how if food is combined wrongly it causes gas because your body can't digest it properly.

Soy stuff has lots of protein. And peanut butter. Maybe you should try some fake chicken? I can hardly tell the difference.

When I know I need protein I chow down a tin of tuna. Low fat, healthy, cheap.

Are you taking any protein shakes, creatine, supplements etc? Often these can be the source of the dodgy tummy and smelly farts.
