Hi - "Gas Queen" here...today I had a Ladies Club luncheon to go to which was a special one about pairing chocolate with wines. Boy, was I apprehensive. So, this is what I did. About 1-1/2 hrs before I was to eat lunch, and I didn't know what they were going to serve, I ate about 3/4 cup white rice. When I got there, I had three pieces of sourdough baguette right before they served lunch. They served chicken salad--very light on any mayo--but it had small pieces of apple, nuts, plain arties, lettuce and white raisins with a raspberry vinegrette dressing. And, it was delicious. I chewed everything especially long before I swallowed. Then the wine and chocolate. I drank very little wine, but, boy, did I eat all the chocolate. I usually get gas right away even before getting up from the table and this time, nada, nil, zilch!!! I even ate some of the lettuce, but not until towards the end of lunch.
So, as Heather says, eat soluble fiber before the meal (like the bread and rice) and it really helped me a lot.
Just thought some of you would be interested in my story.
