Talking Which Foods Really Cause Flatulence?

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/1/24/which-foods-really-cause-flatulence.aspx




Certain foods are common causes of flatulence, and temporarily avoiding these foods can help you determine if they’re a problem for you. According to the Mayo Clinic Health Letter, the following foods are likely to cause gassiness:
Dairy products, which contain sugar lactose that causes gas
Vegetables, including onions, radishes, cabbage, celery, carrots, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower and legumes
Fruit sugar, which is especially high in prunes, raisins, bananas, apples, apricots and fruit juices from prunes, grapes and apples
Fiber
Fatty foods and carbonated drinks
Additionally, artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol may also cause flatulence.

Food manufacturers have begun to develop products that promise to not cause flatulence. For instance, in 2006 a flatulence-free manteca bean was grown in the UK.


Next time you fart, remember what causes it.

Just don't light up in the bedroom. Cabbage contains cellulose and is a known gas factory.

Indeed they do and if someone thinks they don't, they are in a state of delusion.

I am experiencing this as I am writing. Our garden is going full blast down here in FL, and we are constantly eating mustard greens, collards, kale etc. It seems to increase with age- I don't recall having so much of it even a few years ago.

For me? My wife would tell you every food. And every beverage. And breathing.

In her defense, I seem to recall you discussing the joys of a properly executed "Dutch Oven"

Oh, you and your damned memory!

But c'mon, very few things can compare. Although kids are close.

Here's a link for further study. There's even a file from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd toward the bottom of the page.

Resorted? Had we ever evolved past them?
