Some time back, i had read about a very noticeable flatulence issue for soylent drinkers. Was that ever addressed?

  I believe so in the last batch

    Eh, I can say from personal experience that the problem has not been fully solved in version 1.5 of the powder (and probably can't be). Your gut flora need time to readjust, and until then-- beware!

  I believe it was. Also, anecdotally speaking, it's very common for people who don't get enough protein or fiber in the their diets to have some flatulence when they start adding more. After a short adjustment period their body gets used to it and the flatulence stops.

  In my experience, there was some issue with 1.0 and 1.1, and 1.2 was the worst offender. 1.3 fixed it, which was refreshing! I can't speak to 1.4 or 1.5, because having been disappointed in 1.4, I've hoarded 1.3

  I've been a Soylent drinker since 1.0. I've had 1.0, 1.1, 1.3 and 1.4. The biggest formula change in terms of flatulence for me was 1.3 -> 1.4. They dropped the fiber substantially and replaced some of the oats (and most of the maltodextrin) with isomaltulose. I'm still gassy but it's nothing like 1.0/1.1, where I had uncomfortable levels of gas approximately 100% of the time.
