LOL!!!  :-D  Really bad if you work in a crowded office or are out on a hot
date.

That and loose stools.  Not sure which is worse - endless farting
or trotting to the bathroom to do experiments in jet propulsion.
Will the liquid stream have enough force this time to lift me up
off the seat?

One thing I learned back in my years of low fat attempts - Fiber or
not the amount of farts I got went up and down with the total carbs
I ate.  The relative amount of fiber in the total carbs didn't change
the amounts of farts all that much compared to the total amount
to carbs.  That is to say when I ate white flour pasta with very
little fiber I got plenty of farts but not much extra stool, and when
I ate beans and whole wheat pasta I also got plenty of farts and a
lot of extra stool.  Right, and the second thing I learned back in
my years of low fat attempts is I gained 50 pounds in 20 years.
Low fat works just fine for some people, but it doesn't work for
everyone - If you try a plan type commit to it for at least several
months, but if it's not working for you ing 3-6 months it's time to
try a different type of plan.  Advice from Dr Atkins - If you exit any
tpye of plan, do it by switching to some other type of plan.

On the surface carb blockers can't possibly help.  Their fiber goes
to the colon and is digested there by bacteria into lactic acid and
gas - farts.  What fiber does not get digested there carries with it
non-sugar carbs (at absolutely best they are starch blockers not
carb blockers and they used to be marketed as starch blockers)
but also vitamins and minerals - that's a big loss.

But they aren't completely without worth.  I've been told by some
long time successful low carbers that they have some use to
reduce the "carb hangover" of a cheat.  Very much a treatment for
a self inflicted problem, but how many people are ever able to go
years without cheating?  The trouble is these tablets would never
sell if their honest small benefits appeared on the label -

After several months of being good you finally succumbed and ate
the hash browns that came with your breakfast.  Your quota for
the day is blown and you'll need to go back near 20 for a couple of
days but you can pop several of these tablets, end up running for
the bathroom very suddenly in about 4 hours, have a much smaller
carb hangover.  By the way, cheat with something sugary and the
only benefit you'll get from these tablets is the sudden rush for the
bathroom in several hours.  But yeah, diarhea is water loss and
most folks watch the scale thinking its numbers really mean fat
going up and down so who's going to sneeze at diarhea induced
water loss after a cheat?

Chuckle.  If the label actually said that, who would ever buy the
tablets?
