Copyright Description Solutions for one of the unfortunate side effects of eating healthy. pregnancy nutrition diva It's not that funny, gas is healthy, even for pregnant women http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=17792#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=17792#Comments Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:54:27 GMT Angela nutrition diva I find that activated charcoal capsules work very well, are natural, and as far as I am aware are vegan. One thing to keep in mind is that charcoal absorbs EVERYTHING, including medications and vitamins. Best not to take charcoal with your vitamins or medications. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=17283#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=17283#Comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:19:06 GMT darya nutrition diva Great podcast. I started eating healthy/lots of vegetables a few years ago and definitely had some difficulty adjusting. But the problems did go away. (I'm a scientist and have my own nutrition blog now - summertomato.com) I was surprised to hear you say GasX doesn't work. Personally I have found it to be the only thing that works. And what is nice is you can take it after you realize you have a problem (I cannot predict 100% of the time what will cause gas) and it saves the day. On the other hand, I have Beano to be less effective no matter when I take it--but my problems only come from vegetables, never from beans. I wonder if maybe I have different issues than most people? I think this is an important thing to discuss though. Robert, I hope you start eating vegetables again! http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16389#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16389#Comments Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:47:11 GMT Nutrition Diva nutrition diva Angelina, look for a product containing the enzyme alpha-galactosidase, which specifically targets the sugars in beans and other vegetables. http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16383#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16383#Comments Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:15:01 GMT Robert Sergent nutrition diva I am glad to ehar I am not the only one that suffers from instestinal gas. What a discomfort. I actually have stopped eating vegetables and beans because of it. There has to be something I can use beside beano when I eat. Can Beano be used for vegetables? Your podcasts are great. Can you do one everyday? You have changed my thinking on nutrition because things you say actually make sense. I quite eatign 6 times per day and I drink coffee in the morning instead fo my 8 bottles of water without guilt. Thanks http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16350#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16350#Comments Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:54:50 GMT Angelina nutrition diva What is your opinion of alternatives to Beano? Many vegetarians/vegans avoid this digestive aid as it contains fish gelatin. Health food store shelves are lined with quite a slew of 'plant-based' and 'full-spectrum' digestive enzymes. Do you know how these compare with Beano? Are there ingredients we should look for in these products? Thanks! Spectacular show! http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16335#Comments http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx?commentid=16335#Comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:02:42 GMT Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:54:27 GMT http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/got-gas.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
