Things you OUGHT to avoid, given the flatulence, but can't....

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Dairy Queen yogurt (even their “ice cream”) gets me every time. But I can’t stop eating it!

I did not know before this day, however, that Rich, Chocolatey Ovaltine also gives Cranky gas. So I power-slammed a glass tonight before rushing off to my Junior League meeting. Then I sat there amongst the genteel ladies who lunch, listening to my gut rumble, trying to quietly rip a few. Now that I am home again (I left early, surely to the relief of the other ladies at my table) I am happy (for the sake of my marriage) that my husband is out in the shop.

So, folks, what foods are high on your flatulence meter, but you can’t lay off 'em?

2

Kinda breaking the rules here but I avoid them at all costs even though I love them:

bananas

I am talking flatulence that bring tears to your eyes, the reason I don’t eat them anymore…it’s bad, very, bad.

3

My cat, on the other hand, gets it REALLY bad whenever I eat sour cream. :eek:

4

Arden Manor seems tto have an infestation of the dreaded Barking Spiders whenever I have queso.

Don’t know what draws 'em, just seems to happen everytime…

5

Dried Apricots.

I must be sure of an afternoon in the great outdoors before I will indulge at lunchtime. I once made the mistake of eating some with dinner. It was so bad that the smell woke me up that night.

6

Apples (any raw fruit, really)
French Onion Soup
Bell peppers
Beer

7

Popcorn. But although I get get gas I never fart. I am a lady and never, ever do more than fluff! :slight_smile: Pardon me??? Are you saying my mommy told me a fib?? OH DEAR :eek:

8

Dark Beer.

I don’t even know if they still make it, but Michelob Classic Dark would cause me to wake myself up in the middle of the night (along with anyone else in the room), and not because of the noise…

I would say this is appropriate for this thread:
Flatulent Smilie

Um, if ChiefScott happens upon this thread, tell him not to click on the link.

< grin >

10

Frosted Mini Wheats

11

Onions.

We’re talking neighbors banging on the walls for mercy bad.

Can’t resist Carls Jr. Onion Rings though.

12

Jalapenos. Mmm.

13

I’m exactly the same. But i love French onion soup sigh. I had some last week and lay in bed that night wishing i had an elasticated blanket. It was bad. Something-died bad.

I am, however, master fart-controller. It’s a balancing act people, a fine fine line.

14

Sausages, particularly the spicy ones like hot links or pepperoni.
Eggs (those could knock over a horse).
Raw broccoli
Just about anything from Taco Bell.

15

Jalapeno poppers, stuffed jalapenos, jalapeno stuffed olives…mmmmmmmmmm.

16

In no particular order:

eggs, beer, fried onions, fried mushrooms, liverwurst, tacos, peppers of any kind, any kind of dried fruit.

17

techchick, you are so wrong, on so many levels.

18

the protein supplement I was on for a while. I mean, we’re talking a smell so bad it made my brother feel like his skin was dissolving. Or so he claims.

19

Tequila. I don’t know why.

And while it is all in how you control the output, there’s no escaping it in bed, is there? Or in a grocery store, where no matter how fast you try to walk away from it it’s always with you, like Jesus in that Footprints poem.

20

Oh, let’s see:
Radishes
Dried fruits (especially those with sulfates)
Beans
And most of the ones already listed (except for the Frosted Mini-Wheats - hanh?)

Same here, but there are times it’s so bad, I’m afraid I’ll accidently leave some ‘lint’.
