I'm Governor Swill from the group alt.pink-floyd and I have a question
for some of the folks of rec.food.cooking. I have a rather embarrassing
problem with bad intestinal gas. In the past I have attempted to
identify and eat foods that don't cause gas. For example, most beans are
out of the question because they contain sugars which make me rapid fire
fart (and no, I'm not joking here.) I'm also a gay man and this gas
problem is on my mind a lot because of obvious reasons. When my life
partner and I decide to have man love, I'm terrified of passing gas
during mid session. My mate says he understands my concerns and that it
doesn't really bother him however it's still quite humiliating to me.
Nothing can kill a romantic mood than to have your significant other
pass gas during sex. Because of this, I have changed my eating patterns
so that we have romance first and then eat later. Below, I've made a
list of foods that I know make me gaseous and was wondering if some of
you in the food group could suggest some cooking techniques or foods
that are less likely to make me cut gas.
Here's the list of foods and beverages I'm avoiding for now.
Cheeseburgers
Milkshakes and malts
Boiled eggs
Grilled steak
Beans (Ranch style, Pinto and Navy)
Chili
Broccoli
Squash
Cheese (I really miss eating cheese more than anything else.)
Hominy corn
Frog legs
Macaroni and Cheese
Clams
I have taken over the counter products such as Beano and GasX but they
only offer limited results and I'm not about to see my doctor and tell
him about this. I'm too embarrassed.
Suggestions?
