Natural gas, too much?

Question

Is it just me, or do vegetarians f**t too much? i have noticed i have been passing every 15 minutes or so.

this is a silly question but i want to know if it happens to all of us vegatarians or do i have something wrong going on.

Answer 1

I don't have extra gas. I don't really know why people say that, I guess because some vegetables give some people gas. But everyone eats some vegetables, like you said meat doesn't stop gas, it's just something silly people say to make fun of vegetarians. Same goes for that salad shooter joke, just silly, no truth to it.

Answer 2

maybe some food your body doesn't digest well?  Try experimenting and you'll find the offending food.  Maybe you lack some enzyme that helps break down the nutrients of that food, and your body is not responding.

Answer 3

It's probably some food in particular.  The only way to find out which one is to systematically eliminate items from your diet.  I've found onions & garlic will do it to me.

And for the record, meat does not act as an anti-farting agent (if anything your gas will smell way more rancid)!
