Mushy Peas? Do they make YOU f**t??

Question

Why do they make you f**t? What is the reason?

Answer 1

I LOVE mushy peas :)

It really depends on how your body processes certain foods. A pea is a legume, meaning that it can take slower to digest.  

If you like legumes, but hate the horrible after maths... try beano :) Or eat yoghurt on a daily basis. It has some good enzymes that can help your stomach break down foods better.

Answer 2

Peas, as most pulses are slow to digest... This causes them to ferment in the stomach/intestines as they go "downward"... The fermentation causes gas which is expulsed...

Answer 3

wth?????!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I'm an American living on the left coast.  In my entire life, there was ONE place that offered mushy peas.  It was a fish and chips/pub managed by a guy who was born and raised in Manchester.  I had mushy peas there many times, and don't remember gas being a problem.  Wish I could go back to have some just to see if they do.  But I can't.  The Hot Pot closed down about 22 years ago.  Pity!
