Do you avoid beans & cabbage because they make you fart?!


Question: I remember when I was in elementary school, they used to serve red beans & rice EVERY Monday for lunch. The kids used to avoid them because they make you fart. & they'd look down on you & make fun of you for eating the red beans.

I also remember this girl saying that she hates cabbage because it makes her fart.

Are there any other foods that make you fart?

I don't avoid anything. I even have cabbage craving and want a St-Patrick's day meal! (I eat yogurt, soak my beans and use herbs).

But you could fart because you ate beans, lentils, dairy products, onions, garlic, leeks, radishes, sweet potatoes, cashews, artichokes, oats, wheat, yeast in bread….cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.

Most starches, like potatoes, corn, noodles, produce gas as they are broken down in the large intestine (rice is the only starch that does not cause gas).

If you boil the beans, let them soak and then discard that water and cook the beans in fresh water, you will digest them better.

Also eating yogurts will reduce flatulence because it contains lactobacillus acidophilus and you should use certain spices that counteracts the production of gas (anise seeds, cumin, coriander seeds, caraway…).

You can also get some Beano which is an anti-oligosaccharide enzyme to facilitate digestion of oligosaccharides in the small intestine (oligosaccharides are in beans and cabbage and a normal digestive tract does not contain any anti-oligosaccharide enzymes so the consumed oligosaccharides are typically digested by bacteria in the large intestine which is why you get flatulence).

If you educate yourself on nutrition, then you can eat anything you want and not fart all the time. Also learn to know your body and how it reacts to food. For example, I like couscous and I like tomatoes but I can’t eat them together or I get cramps! And if I eat tomatoes with vinegar, I get painful blister on my tongue! So I never put tomatoes in my salad with my vinaigrette. And I always peel cucumbers and put some salt on them and the next day, I rinse them and all the cucumber water is gone because I cannot digest cucumber water or cucumber peel.

Each time you have digestive problems (cramps, bloating, flatulence…) make a note of everything you just ate and you will make interesting connections.

no, it provides protein

Never

No - that's actually why I like them.

...and onions.

I am human If I gotta fart I gotta fart!

I just don't think they taste good, but sometimes when a really good cook makes them, I eat them.

No I do not avoid them. I love playing the butt trumpet. Anything with sorbitol or manitol will make you have gas, especially sugar-free gums.

Any food that contain a lot of fiber create flatulence. Some examples are broccoli, cauliflower, peas, any type of beans, etc. But there are foods that you eat combined with the fiber foods that deflate the flatulence. Such as eating rice with beans. The rice absorbs the beans during digestion. And so on. I hope this helps you. :)

I am lactose intolerant, I can't have dairy because of it, and also eggs for some reason. Even cream in my coffee messes with me. I hate it!

No, it's normal to fart... Anyway, beans and cabbages are good for us all..

no i avoid them because they make me gag. yuck!

i have a friend that gets TERRIBLE gas from chocolate. its the kind of farts that make your eyes water and your nose burn. she does it to us on purpose sometimes

Turkey, beer, grains

Oh, wow. Can you imagine having a beans & cabbage casserole and washing it down with regular milk? It'd be interesting to see if we really DO float when we get all boated up w/ gas!

no i love beans, esp red beans and rice. so i can just deal with the consequences. but i hate cabbage, so i dont care what the side effects are b/c im not going to eat it anyway haha

If you eat fresh vegetables, you get enzymes that help digestion and reduce the gas build up. Garlic is known to reduce flatulence. Farmers feed garlic to their bovine herds to reduce flatulence. There chemicals that you can take such as Beano. If someone is farting excessively it indicates they are not following a balanced diet.

I love red beans and rice - they don't give me gas. I don't care for other beans that much so do not eat them. Cooked cabbage makes my stomach burn so I don't eat it - plus it smells awful.
