Foods that make you fart

too many carbs and broccoli are my two biggest culprits. I've never tried beano, but it is probably a good idea. take beano and there will be no gas looool
 
I forgot to add that the dolllar store version of cheese puffs make me pass gass. I remember now because I just ate some. Wonder what are all these ingredients with more than 20 letters per word?

Oy, I don't think those are considered "food"!

As a tip: Never eat fruits on a full stomach. The fruits will eventually get 'stuck' in the stomach or the intestines this way, and therefore many things which your body could have made use of (including vitamins) that are found in the fruits are used for the metabolism of bacteria there, giving gas as a byproduct.

Not true. Disproved in an open Q&A discussion with a professor who's a registered dietician. :P

dont think of it as the food itself that makes you have gas

think of it as the way your body digests food as what gives you gas.

I could rip the loudest fucking fart you ever heard, and I highly doubt youd smell it. Im very aware of my body's digestion at all times, and would know beforehand if I suspected some foul digestion was occurring. I fart all day at work in a cubicle with tons of ppl, no one ever smells anything.

Usually foul gas is the result of putrefying proteins, though it can also come from fermentation within the guts. An unhealthy ratio of bad/good gut flora also produces bad gas.

its highly likely that if you ate certain foods alone without any other food in your body, it would no longer give you gas (except things like milk or excess sugar, which will ferment [and not give you any nutrition] and produce foul gasses). recombine that same food with other typical things, and the bad gas returns. its usually combinations of foods which prevent digestion which cause gas, bloating, inflammation, etc. eating a diet without food-combining violations will almost always guarantee odorless and infrequent farts, and really smooth and extremely regular bowel movements that would really only stink if u stuck your face in it.

happens to me every time - soon as i eat a pizza, or have rice with beans, or eat doughnuts, or have some otherwise incompatible food mixings going on, my farts could melt steel. a day of just leafy green salads, and im odorless.

heres a hint: 95% of the foods in teh western diet are prone to fermentation and putrefaction, thus you have a whole civilization of people who assume their bowel movements and foul gasses are normal, and not signs of chronic digestive woes.
 
^ I think it's also very individualized too though. I can eat beans and rice everyday (and I do most days :P) and while I do get gas sometimes, it's like you described: Odorless. But when I eat things that I shouldn't (read: Standard American Diet food) is when I get the awful gas. And who knows what's in half of that stuff. 8(
 
For me eggs, spaghetti sauce with meat in the recipes(very brutal), or subway meatball subs. I think the meat thing for me is more of being borderline allergic reaction to some less quality red meat. I found beno doesn't work for me too well. Gas-X does not really help either. Best thing for me to keep me from not having lots of gas is to take in high fiber diet and eat clean and I'm pretty good after that.
 
Carbs of any kind are terrible, especially if I scarf them down without chewing them properly. I used to cram a big plate of spaghetti down my throat very frequently as a skinny, high metabolism kid. I still find the almost-uncomfortable rubbing of a large bolus of barely-chewed spaghetti down the back of my throat pleasurable, to this day. This was probably why I had a reputation for being a gassy kid. I don't indulge this pleasurable feeling, since I find being bloated makes me really irritable. I'm actually very good about chewing throughly now, even if that means I'm a slow eater. If I make rice and beans, I don't swallow until there's barely an uncrushed grain of brown rice or bean in my mouth. And even though both whole grains and beans have a reputation for making people fart, I don't notice I fart any more than usual after eating rice and beans.

Dairy is something we're all better off not eating. It's good for a growing calf.

I really think carbs (including fruit) are fine to eat at any point in the meal, so long as the amount is modest and it's chewed thoroughly. The secret to farting less is that you don't want to thwart your digestive organs' ability to break down the food you've eaten, either because of too little surface area or too much substrate. Otherwise, undigested foods (carbohydrates, in most cases) make it to your large intestine intact and unabsorbed, and get fermented by the colon's abundant bacteria. If undigested lipids are making it to your colon intact, lord have mercy on anyone in the same car as you. (Plus, you'd better see a doctor quick.)

Once a year or so, I let myself go nuts on a bowl of fettucine alfredo, with plenty of extra parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper, whose little seeds release their capsaicin only once they've reached my intestines, and are a great cathartic. But I make sure I'm able to be outdoors and not around people for the next 12 hours.
 
OK, so I banned any sort of artificial sweeteners from my life for a few years but about a month ago I slowly started using them again. I started using splenda in my coffee and then I migrated on to drinking (gasp) aspartame sweetened drinks and chewing gum. I even had a diet soda the other day for the first time in years. I also have a history of on again off again severe acid reflux, so lately when I have started to have extreme bloating/pain/gas in the afternoons and evenings I don't know whether to attribute all the gas to the aftermath of a day of acid reflux or from the artificial sweeteners. What gives? Anyone else get horrible bloating and gas from artificial sweeteners?
 
^ Artificial sweetners give me a headache.
I used to drink a can of diet coke, or apple tango, Like one every day when i was a kid and sit there with a headache for ages.
Then my dads gf educated me on aspartame in drinks, and ever since i avoid it all now, i dont get headaches.

I do however sometimes chew gum with it in, especially when im a mad gurning head ...
 
Yeah I'm aware that aspartame and other artificial sweeteners have a lot of negative health effects, I was just wondering if bloating/gas was one of them. Anyway, I think I'm just going to stop using them altogether again, it can't hurt.
