Years ago a Freeper posted that his brother was a doctor and would shock his vegetarian patients by informing them that one of the effects of such a diet could be severe gas.
LOL!
No kidding. I always wondered why the Lord, in His wisdom, made so many of these “healthy” vegetables give you the wind something terrible.
Broccoli seems to be the worst.
The one thing that seems to help is that the more you eat of them, the better your digestive system seems to cope.
For example, I can eat beans in moderation now without having to pop any of those little enzyme pills. I’m planning some tostadas for lunch tomorrow. Mmmmmmm ...
I should also note I dropped a good deal of weight over the past year to help get my blood pressure/blood sugar under control. I don’t weigh myself often — that will drive you nuts — but I went from buckling my belt in the #2 hole to the #7 hole. That’s about five inches.
Pardon my boastfulness, but what’s the sense in losing a lot of weight if you can’t brag about it?
