I’ve been on huel since Xmas and like most I have had gas issues. I have the recommended amount 3 scoops twice a day and a healthy meal at night.
The gas never stopped, between the hours of 7-10pm it was horrendous. The rest of the day I was fine. So I read on one of the forums about coconut oil as a solution, at first it didn’t work but now I have the receipe.
Make your huel as normal then add coconut oil to the top. I use the spray version from Asda £1.50. About 5-10 sprays will do. And shake it well.
I now know it really works as I forgot to use it today and you can guess what came back.
The only thing I can find online is the coconut oil mixed with things like rapeseed or sunflower oil for cooking. Is that what you mean? And do you know why it works? Would any coconut oil product work??
Yes that will be fine. The one for cooking. Someone had suggest led that coconut oil or milk helps with digestion. So Im guessing taking with the product works in the same way as digestive enzymes.
It’s about 1 calorie per shake so nothing to worry about on that front. I found putting it last os the best way. Try it and see.
Do you want the final answer for the bloats and farts?
When we shake the Huel we mix completely the air and the liquid and if you use a transparent mixer you can see after shaking hundreds of little bubbles moving up slowly or tiny trapped.
The solution: let it rest for a minute and just before, move very gentle for some trapped bubbles.
Second solution: gently, put the mixer on an horizontal level and roll it softly letting those bubles get out of the huel.
That’s the stuff I have been trying, I think it has definitely helped with smell, not so much quantity of gas. Though last few days it seems it may not be working so well. Either way, that one is a fantastic coconut flavour if ya like coconut (I love it!) £8.42 is waaaay more than I paid though, if you were planning on buying it there. I got it for £2.50 in Sainsbury’s.
I used to suffer disgusting rotten egg farts, now I soved it by more water.
my daily huel is this
2 scoops for breakfast with 1 of protein powder. 4 huel and protein for lunch. I now drink at least 2/3 liters of water after lunch and found no more disgusting rotten egg farts in the evening.
I guess before drinking more water all that fiber from morning and lunch sits there in your intestines and ferments a bit too much. With the extra water it passes through properly.
nope, still go once or twice a day. Only have huel for breakfast and lunch. 78g for breakfast and 152 for lunch along with about 30g of whey protein each time.
Protein is a standard whey protein.
Maybe i just got lucky but the extra water at lunch seems to work for me.
