gaseous maximus

it has been exactly one week since i have embarked on the journey of being vegan. i must admit that it has been pretty easy due to the fact that i am working on a farm. and now that i have discovered toffuti soy cream sour cream substitute, my baked potato addiction has returned to normal. one thing that i have really noticed is my new ability to really pack in the food. i mean, i was an eater before, but now i find that i can sit at the table and eat what may be three meals for another person. minus the beef steaks. it's amazing. man, i love eating. the food's not so bad either. one thing is a little distressing, though. i have had the worst gas i think that i have ever had. worst in frequency. worst in smell. worst. i find myself trying to walk away from myself. it's that bad. i'm wondering if this is just a transitional phase, or if this will be a constant problem. any vegans out there have any input??? adam said that he had a friend who was vegan and he, too, had really horrible gas. so, if this is going to be a permanent thing, i may have to re-assess my decision... well, i guess that's enough grossness for one entry. thanks for listening.
