text: how to improve the digestive power, so we don't have flatulence? please don't say beano! i am trying to control flatulence. there should be a way to control it instead of beano or gas-x some other similar items... excessive flatulence is a sign of a food allergy/intollerance. the most common food allergies are caused by dairy, wheat flour and most other refined flours. (corn flour is usually safe, so is potato) excessive fiber can cause such disturbances, however most people don't eat enough fiber, so that's unlikely to be the issue unless you happen to eat a lot of it all the time. beans are famous for their gaseous effects..but to be honest, i don't think beans are a real "gasser" for most people unless you happen to have a food allergy with beans. cut the wheat, flour, and dairy from your diet for 3 days- i can almost guarrantee your flatulence will be diminished. i fart only about once a day! lol seriously, my diet is extremlely healthy and happens to be high in fiber (but not too high) instead of bread i eat brown rice, sweet potatoes, ect. tortilla chips & anything made out of corn flour doesn't seem to bother me one bit. i also noticed a reduction in acne when i started doing this. try it and see! better than having to constantly down beano all day!
