TP60 just wondering with the atkins diet does it create alot of gas and what foods on this diet do you avoid.I am going in for k surgery november 8 2007 at mount sinai in toronto canada and just trying to gather as much info as possible.This site has been so helpful in my descisions.

The good thing about the Atkins diet is that the foods do not produce much gas. Cheese can cause a thick feces. Animal products outside of whole milk or milk products don't cause gas problems. Milk products can. These are usually milk products with milk sugar in them ( galactose ). Cheese and yogurt do not cause gas problems for me. Mild, ice cream etc. do.
