Gas: He toots A LOT w/ minimal pooes. This morning I thought for sure he went poo because it sounded wet and whew it stunk, but nothing! I cant figure out whats going on.
"what's going on" is he is learning to use his bowels ...he is getting bigger so his system is changing from "little baby" to "bigger baby"...it's all normal!!!

My 3 month old guy farts a lot! LOL He doesn't poop everyday either. My sister in law has 3 month old twins and she said they only poop every 2-3 days. Hope that helps.

Mary has a dirty diaper 1-2 times a day. (she is a formula fed baby)
Yesterday she was an eating machine! She was eating 5-6 oz every two hours on the dot.

Hey, Jae!
My little pooper has recently gotten a little stinky in the wind department sometimes. One time DH rolled the car windows down -- hoo-boy! I just chalked it up to his system moving on.
As for his messy pants, he goes about 1 time every 4 days, sometimes more days than that. He has no pain, is totally his same old self, tummy's not hard. He went 7 full days recently with again, no signs of being bothered. In my research I found out that is totally normal for breastfed babies because breastmilk is such an efficient food that sometimes their little bodies actually use all of it and leave very little waste.
In my research it said if the baby gets to 8 days without progress to take him in to be checked out, but our little one went right at 7 full days. Not even an extraordinary, call-the-news-station diaper either. I chalk it up to his system's efficiency. It's been since Saturday now this time. I'm sure he'll get there soon enough.
I also think since it has now shifted to less messy pants, maybe that's why his wind smells sometimes -- he's got stuff IN his colon but not enough to need to get it OUT -- so it just gets a little stinky to let us all know there's stuff in the pipes that's not ready to exit yet.
I have no worries about it but I'm watching the signs if he were in distress. So far just a happy little boy.
Jeanie

Nicole, whole grains have protein too. You can eat oatmeal, or add ground flaxseed to foods. The gas that is caused by beans usually is not as severe as gas caused by dairy. You can minimize that by changing the water several times when cooking the beans. Your body will also adjust to the fiber in beans.
If you aren't a beany person, lentils, split peas, and garbanzos (mmm......hummus) have the same nutritional benefits without tasting like beans.
Avocado has protein too. You could make guacamole and have corn chips. Gluten & dairy free, and very yummy.
(((Nicole))) First GD, and now your son's alergies. You've been on a diet roller coaster this past year!
Yes I am on a roller coaster and it may not stop yet if dairy is not the culprit! Thank you for your hugs 
i gave him avacado a few times on his sandwhich but he was screaming at night while he was eating that so I stopped because I thought that was making the problem worse, that was the only new food he was given. I could try it again though to see if it was that or maybe just more of a reaction to dairy or wheat.
Thanks for the tips on the beans. Do you mean like baked beans? Or green beans? The only types of beans/lentils I eat are peas or green beans. I eat snow peas too.

nicole....someone said about beans...I was going to say that too. they won't cause as much gas if you change the water a few times in the cooking of them. rice and beans together make a complete protein. I was also going to say avocados are yum and are a good protein. Someone posted exactly what I would have said....lol. ok, went up and looked...it was prudent...she sure is smart!!!
LOL thanks Sarah
and Lexie.
Do you guys mean green beans? so you cook that and rice? I could do that in a night or two when we are having a chicken dish, he could have the chicken, carrots, rice and beans.
Could carrots give him a belly ache or lots of pain when passing wind? He eats carrots with nearly every meal. and pumpkin.

The other way to get the gas out of beans is to stir in a spoonful of baking soda while they're cooking (not sure if you call it that in AU). It doesn't take much...maybe a teaspoon to a big pot of beans. It will make it very foamy, then you sort of skim the foam off.

Baked beans work well too ... any type of bean that would be classed as lentil instead of veggie.
I think you mean legumes? Lentils are a type of bean.

We mostly eat cannelini beans or borlotti beans. But I buy them canned, can't be bothered with cooking them.

It's getting thick again though, and it's SUPER long on top, even though it's only about 2 inches long on the sides/back. 
LOL ok I can't eat those, my mum gave them to us as a kid and I would almost vomit eating those. 
But she has an extremely active colon. Lincoln can almost make your eyes water
