Hi Everyone, me and my husband are going on holiday on saturday, our last flight was very embarassing, my hubby had a full english breakfast before the flight and all the way home the smell was really bad, a lot of the passengers was complaining thinking the smell was coming from the toilet ( thank god we sat near the front) I thopught I would make some sandwiches to take with us, but not sure what to put in the sandwich that won't give my husband bad wind.
Thanks in advance

I would guess that was the egg and beans. Lol.

Try and eat something that is low in protein.

I just googles all the foods that are low in protein, and there don't seem to be anything suitable for a sandwich

When I found this web site, I didn't think its name had anything to do with actually meeting an ostomate but I later learned there were some folks who did meet and develop relationships. How good is that? That wasn't my intention. I definitely didn't want anyone to meet me. I felt broken and wasn't prepared to express those feelings. I thought it was a place where ostomates wrote about themselves, posed questions, shared thoughts, told jokes and, sometimes, just vented. I thought of it as a community of folks with similar interests and various degrees of experience. Mostly I found some of the most caring, selfless, wise and understanding people I ever imagined. I was so impressed with some of the writings; not because of their literary value but the way in which they addressed such a very complex environment. I read hundreds of exchanges and admired the way folks cared for each other. I became hopeful with my own situation and looked forward to the next day's offerings. Certainly some contributors stood out with their experience or particular skills in addressing some things but it seemed like a total effort with synergistic results. I felt blessed to have found this site. I still do.

Here is a few ideas:

Peanut butter.
Pasta
Ham
Chicken
Bacon

If you think about it, a full breakfast includes, bacon, sausages, beans and eggs and all together that is at least 70g of protein. And the body can't store protein so all the waste of protein will just go right through the body.

Yes, eggs are just about the worst smelling!  I agree with the peanut butter, banana, rice or tapioca puddings (unless you are lactose intolerant).  White bread toast or a bagel and peanut butter would be my choices for air travel (or Nutella if you can't stand peanut butter).  Also, taking 2 Beano tablets before any good-sized meal or gassy foods really helps me.  I even had sauerkraut yesterday (for the first time in 8 years) and with the Beano beforehand I was OK!
