Hi Louise,
Are you by any chance eating foods with high concentrations of fructose or lactose? Those seem to be 2 of the worst gas culprits for me. Fructose in particular has been mentioned on other threads, but I can't recall anything about it in the book.
Does the gas usually happen around the same time of day or is it just there all the time?
Cheers.
Ian

I know that beano contains the enzyme to fully digest beans, but I'm not sure if it helps with digesting fats or proteins. To get help with those foods (common IBS triggers) go into a health food store and ask for a good "full spectrum" enzyme supplement. This will help with the proteins and fats as well. I take 2 capsules 10 minutes before my biggest meal of the day and I find it helps.

I've heard good things about using Beano for not just beans but for vegetables as well. Haven't heard anything about using for fats/proteins, though.
