Flatulence

What in the hell is "Flatutence" you ask? It is excessive FARTING!!!!! Noisy-Smelly FARTS and LOTS of them. For the past year, I thought that I was sensitive to MSG's. Well, being in a office all day with others and the all FARTING is making me crazy...... ....... ...... Taking a break and walking out to the car only bring more attention to myself..............

All the information I'm going post here is from Jean Carper's book "Food-Your Miracle Medicine", pages 138-142.

Caused by sugars, starches and fiber.

Highly gassy foods: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, dried beans, peas, milk/dairy, onions, rutabagas, soybeans, & turnips.
misc: Sorbital & low-calorie sweeteners.

Moderately Gassy foods: apples, bananas, bread & pastas (white flour), carrots, celery, & eggplant.

Not So Gassy foods: eggs, fish, meat, oils, poultry & rice.

Well, no one can live off of rice and chicken alone, so I guess I'm buying some peppermint tea and making sure I add ground pepper to all my meals. Pepper helps the digestive system and peppermint helps the whole system. Ginger works too, but I'm not a fan of ginger.

Now that your done laughing, .......... Good luck on cutting back on your flatulence....


Hugs

PS. Foods high with MSG are only allowed on my days off.......................

UPDATE: Peppermint Tea Works Very Nicely after a meal with foods listed above.
