Gassy McGasserton.

I should be clear.  While this blog is largely about health/fitness and my life kind of in general, it's main purpose at the moment is helping me figure out my digestive system.  So the talk is not always going to be pretty.

I ate something last night.  Not sure what but I have a big guess.  Something that made me really, really gassy.  It hasn't led to any other problems, but I erred on the side of caution and didn't run, even though I really wanted to.

Beans.

I triple checked.  No dairy in the can.  To the best of my knowledge I haven't had dairy for 7 days now.  And other than last night-into-this-morning's bought of gassiness I've been great for the last couple of days.  I still have 6 days of antibiotics left, too.

Beans make people gassy.

"Beans, beans, the magical fruit.  The more you eat, the more you poot.  The more you poot, the better you feel.  So eat your beans at every meal."

Mhmm.

So is this gas any normal person would have had?  Or is this Jackie-SIBO-SPECIAL kind of gas?

I dunno.  But I thought I should "document" it.

(I've been doing some reading...and seeing the link between SIBO and IBS...and apparently some beans (which?) are a bad idea for either/both.  Also?  Gluten.  Oy.)

Breathing deeply.
Farting, too.

  1. The gas is from the beans, which happens to everyone. That's why there's a poem about it!
