Why does extra protein intake induce EXCESSIVE FLATULENCE?

[erikiksaz]

After i've started to take protein, i pass gas like none other! Why is this so, it's so annoying...and embarassing if i let them rip at the wrong moment

Protein is complex molecules and you have trouble breaking it down... so some bacteria in your intestine does it instead and causes the flatulence. I'm not sure if that's exactly right, but the same explanation is basically true for beans. Maybe try a different supplement.
