I've mentioned it many times, my weight loss has sort of stalled...I was talking to someone who thinks I might want to try for a 2 week period cutting my carbs back and increasing lean protein. I do get bloated a lot...very slow digestive system. When I eat the high fiber cereals and the like, I get really bad, painful gas  Any thoughts on this???

It takes time for a body to adjust to more fiber intake. It took my body a few weeks to adjust to taking extra fiber. I still get gas, but nothing like I did when I first started.
I would give the protein thing a try. Protein is suppose to make you full longer and give you more energy. So, what the heck, try it. I know when I am feeling tired in the mornings, I try to snack on protein, to kind of give me a boost.
Do you still have allot to lose? I get bloated very easy now that I have lost weight. So, I just try not to eat very much at one time. I eat all day, a bite here and a bite there. If I sit down and eat a good size meal, I feel like I am going to die afterwards.

Probably the reason that you stalled is because you adapted to the calorie, carbohydrate intake that you have been on. We are fairly primitive creatures meaning that in order for us to survive in the environment our body's adapt rather quickly to what we do to them, ie. food intake. In order for you get get over the slump or plateau, you need to change something in your eating program. Like your friend said you should be cutting carbohydrate's back, increase your protein intake for about 4 or 5 days then on the 6th day have some pasta and reload your system with glycogen or Carbohydrates, so your body dose not figure out what you are going to do next. it's really very simple to do and learn, I have helped people lose weight for 20 years using this very system, it's the only thing that works permanently.. If you learn how to lose weight and control your weight you cant unlearn it right? And as far as the bloating goes have you ever done a digestive cleanse? there is allot of undigested food that gets caught up in our digestive system and just hangs there a cleanse is something that you might want to look into as well I hope things work out well for you.

I'm not a doctor or anything but... i'm pretty sure your body doesnt know the food it eats, but whats inside the foods(nutrition). The reason why changing for a day is so that you eat more calories so your body doesn't slow down.

Probably not carb sensitive but possibly gluten intolerant (mostly found in wheat)
It is a condition called Coeliac disease, i suggest you see your doctor as coeliac's can suffer similar symptoms to what you described, although it varies in severity & if i am correct your symptoms appear to be mild.
There is no medication for Coeliac disease so the solution is simply a gluten free diet, wheat being the main culprit but also found in smaller amounts in spelt, rye, barley & kamut. Its not such a big deal though as organic supermarkets & even some major supermarkets stock gluten free bread, pasta, snacks & baking goods often made of rice, quinoa & buckwheat.
Most adults actually find wheat difficult to digest & often find they lose weight by swapping wheat for more easily digestable grains, which are also usually a lot more nutritious also.
Check out http://www.celiac.org/ theres lots of other great websites too.

I think it isn't carbs at all! Just high fiber. It happens with all high fiber foods including bread, oatmeal, veggies etc....But Bean O seems to help a lot.

| fibre should have the opposite effect as what you described as it aids digestion?

Fiber is greatly known to cause flatulence. There are two measures you can use to help:
1.) Gradually increase your fiber intake. Your body adjusts to the level that you give it. Don't increase it all at once - increase it slowly over time.
2.) Drink more water. This helps to offset some of the effects. This is important, too, for increased protein intake.
