Salad farts!

God help me. I've become a fan of green salads (lettuce, carrots, onions, cucumber) that I like to eat with tins of tuna. But... holy hell does it give me gas.

Now normally this would be a time for celebration. Normally I would rejoice. Farts, after all, are the spice of life. But these farts - they are very painful. It literally feels like period cramp 24/7.

Must I give up salads? :sad:

maybe your system adjusting to your diet? I've recently stepped up on more fruit and fibre and the same happened to me. However after a number of weeks its seems to have subsided.

:rofl: I laughed so much at that sentence it hurt.

Try replacing the tuna with chicken for a few days to see if its the tuna. It could also possible be the cucumber because that gives my brother farts of doom.
Seriously..

That's comforting :smile:

What did it feel like for you?

I've tried taking charcoal. It helps a teeny tiny bit, but I need something more substantial. The discomfort is too great.

Should I wait a few weeks then see the doc?
I get the same when I go on salad/fruit binges. It will clear up soon, don't panic =)
Classy bird! haha love it, sounds like your body doesnt agree with the greens too much like!

I find I get the farts when I eat a lot of fruit/salad/veg.

But I take it as a good sign . . .:laugh:
