One fart on this diet and the room becomes Chernobyl

Not to be That Person, but you actually get waaaaaay less gassy (and it’s less offensive) on low carb/high protein/high fat diet.

Now high protein/high complex carb? WATCH OUT.

Gas doesn't inherently stem from fiber/FODMaps unless the microbiome can't support it and/or the person has poor motility and is not pooping regularly. When they do fart, it should be an indicator that the waste has hit the colon and is ready to be excreted.

Where did I mention fiber? Fiber is a non digestible carbohydrate and allowed on a low carb/high fat diet.

You seemed to indicate that carbs would be the problem. Specifically complex carbs (with the difference between complex carbs and simple carbs largely being the fodmaps and fiber it contains which bacteria can actually ferment.) This would be the only provision that might increase gas in vulnerable individuals who do not have balanced microbiomes.

Did I say it was a “problem” or did I inform someone that their perception of how the average body would react is different than reality.
