Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Gas, no SA's
You don't have to eat stuff with sugar alcohols to get bad gas pains. I've got 'em right now from eating about one cup of brocolli earlier today. At least, that's the most likely culprit. Guess I'll buy some Gas-X or something, cause no way in hell am I giving up brocolli.  SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. I don't get gas from brocolli, but I sure get the stinky pees from asparagus! Phew!

There was no call for THAT! > I don't get gas from brocolli, but I sure get the stinky pees from > asparagus! Phew! LOL! I used to have a boyfriend (VERY bad judgment on my part) who once staggered from the bathroom tenderly holding his belly, obviously in SEVERE pain! He whimpered, took a few halting steps, whimpered again, and eventually made it to the bed where he fell in a heap, curled up and still whimpering. Alarmed, I asked what was wrong. Him: "My pee smelled funny!" We had eaten asparagus at dinner. I informed him that that was COMPLETELY normal after eating asparagus. He jumped up off the bed, good as new, not even remotely embarrassed. What a f.cking BABY!

Michelle, are you close to your period? I find along with bloating I also get gas pains.

It doesn't happen every time I eat it, but I've been eating it more frequently than I used to. Sometimes spinach does it too.

I can eat 2 lbs of that stuff and have very moderate gas, now, but it used to be as and as you described. Just build up the quantity slowly. Also, avoid eating, say, 1/2 lb of fried garlic before key dates. :) i |
