Plain and simple lack of enzymes for proper digestion .. had peas last night which are an unusal food for me (legumes being something I'm avoiding mostly) and didn't open a digestive enzyme bottle . Today I'm farting all around.

Too long low-carbing made me fart already after just plain starches.. legumes are harder since they have specific difficult starch needing alpha-galactosidase to break them down. Normal starches just need amylase that is easy to 'start up your enzyme factory on'.
Upping protein is another famous reason for farts and this is what may happen here.. another one could be lack of lactase but good protein powders don't contain lactose.
