Beans and a chuckle

[Guest guest]

Pat is right, if you eat them regularly they stop bothering you. Some people

use Beano, and it seems to help. I have been adding some kind of cultured

product to my beans and found it really works. Usually, I'll top them with a

bit of yogurt. Apparently, eating beans with fruit or meat is the worst thing

you can do, so avoid them. And try working your way up on them, adding them

more as a side dish to start.

Which reminds me.... Halle Berry was in the area filming the Catwoman. To help

her lose weight and stay trim, she was drinking a lot of soy shakes. She had to

wear a very form-fitting, glossy costume for the part. It seems she had a lot

of problems with flatulence while doing various fight scenes, and they had to be

redone quite a bit. Apparently, they had to puncture the suit in several places

to hide the " billowing " . And we think we have problems.

Beans

 

 

Hi Phoenix ;=)

 

Actually, not everyone's bod reacts so negatively (or do I mean

positively?) to beans *lol* Admittedly, if you eat too many once in a

while only, then you will perceive flatulence - as will everyone around

you ;=( But if you eat them on a regular basis as part of your diet,

they shouldn't cause any more problem than raw greens, say. Or maybe my

bod and my dh's bod react differently to the norm.

 

Best,

Pat ;=)
