Pulses Problem
I apologise in advance for the tone and subject matter of this post. Those of a sensitive nature may want to stop reading now.
Ok so pre warned, I’ll continue. I’ve been eating a lot more pulses, green leafy vegetables and fibre recently. It’s great stuff, fills me up and is low GI but with it has come an unwelcome side-effect. Yes I’m talking wind.
When I’m alone in my flat it isn’t much of a problem, okay so I might have to open a window occasionally but hey at least it keeps your feet warm in bed. However I work in an open plan office and it’s not ideal.
I’m not talking about small ladylike little wafts but window shattering, children scaring, small animal gassing types.
I work for an airline and I’m currently doing a project on emissions, which is in danger of getting a little too close to home.
Seriously does anyone know of any effective ways of combating this? I’d rather my colleagues didn’t start to avoid spending time near me.
In response to a couple of comments from my last post, yes I caved and ate the chocolate but only a square and it was bitter as anything so that’ll teach me. The rest was polished off by my colleagues on Monday.
I guess I also need to remember a lot of people on here are not English and some things need translating. Pasties are a savoury. The usual one here is a cornish or devon pasty, which is shortcrust pastry filled with chunks of beef, carrots, onion and swede or turnip with gravy.
Oh you are too funny. I’ve been a bit gassy also, but am alone most of the time. It doesn’t however seem to keep my feet warm. Can’t you find any “Beano” or “Gas X”? If not maybe I could get you some and mail it over. I would surely do that. I know it must be hard at work. I don’t have that problem so I just measure my farts in ounces. Hang in there kiddo, you are a stich. Rachel
Beano works. seriously. If these products are not familiar, ask your pharmacist, I’m sure they can recommend an equivalent.
Beano is advertised over here in the U.S. to take care of your problem as mentioned in the two posts above. Also, you might check with Al Gore on Global Warming.
Ejoy your blogs and your great sense of humor… By the way, have eaten pasties and know what they are but what is “savoury?”
Will sign off with this old Irish Blessing, “May the wind at your back, not be your own.”
Have a great week, Sue.
Thanks for the tips guys.
Savoury is the opposite of sweet.
