hi everyone,
so i know that onions can be a big no-no since they are a gas causing veggie. i have plenty of gas,so I do not want to risk eating them and feeling worse. I was thinking about cooking a dish with them, but then removing them before eating the meal. this way i'm only eating the flavor they leave, and not the actual onion. does the flavor they leave on food while being prepared/cooked cause gas? or is it just eating the onion mass itself that causes the gas? maybe that is a dumb question, but i'm just being paranoid...i really don't want anymore gas!
thanks!!!!

I use onion powder instead of raw onion in recipes that call for onion and it doesn't seem to bother me like onions do. Maybe you could try a little onion powder and see how it goes.

if its cooked to the point of no return then it is ok (clear, soft onion) or I use onion powder...

I use them for flavour, but pick them out (i.e. I'll put all kinds of things in my homemade stock/broth and toss them--celery, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, herbs). I'm fine with powder form (as long as it does not contain sulphites or yeast. I guess I use these aromatic foods for their juices only, but avoid eating them--it's too much of a potential trigger!

you might also try shallots perhaps which have an onion flavor and might not be such a trigger as onions. Crisp shallots on somethings are really good like caramelized asparagus.
