Often, with meteorism, we are advised to stick to the diet and exclude products from the diet, contributing to its appearance. But after all, excluding these products, we also deprive themselves vitamins and other useful substances there. Or maybe you can come to a compromise? We listen to what experts are advised on this.

The colon is the penultimate department of the digestive tract; From here a straight path to the rear pass. In this «Gas chamber» More than 400 species of beneficial bacteria live. They are vegetarians, waiting for you to treat them with bread, bananas, peas. They have a diet mainly consist of complex carbohydrates that do not have time to digest the enzymes allocated by your own cells. Bacteria split nutrients, highlighting gases, including hydrogen sulfide. This is a pure biology.
The problem occurs only when excess gases cause discomfort - in the stomach will be grouped, he swears, you feel bad. Or you feel great, but spoil the air much more often than 14 times a day, at the same time, as the Chinese say, losing face. Doctors call it meteorism.
Get rid of it is easy, even without much restrictions in food. It is important only to cook it correctly.
Beans are rightly considered «Musical» food because contain carbohydrate raffinosis. Oddly enough, not all in the small intestine enough enzymes to digest her. Parly carbohydrate enters the colon, where bacteria are accepted for it, producing so much tumming on the will of the gas. Similar fate at the Kochanne and Brussels Cabbage, Broccoli, asparagus and whole grain products, although raffinos are less.
However, legumes are not enemies. They have a lot of fiber lowering cholesterol levels and strengthening calcium bones, so they protect us from heart diseases, fractures and even colon cancer. In addition, there are few fat and a lot of protein, t.E. This is basically healthy food. It is only important to use it correctly. So what can advise.
Pick up optimal legumes. These products are similar to each other, but unequal. People's reaction to people individual. Each of us has one grade product gives much more gases than the other. What causes meteorism from one person reduces the gas separation from another. Need to try different options and choose the most suitable for you.
Change water. Before cooking dry seeds of lentils, peas and beans need to be mashed at night. But you can not cook them in the same water, where they lay. Drain it, rinse the product and prepare it in fresh water and then the risk of meteorism caused by bean will decrease.
Get out autoclave. Unsured legumes give more gases. Than they are distributed, the less the risk of meteorism. Or purchase a pressure cooker. In a conventional saucepan, you will have to boil the bean hours four, and under pressure they are completely welded much faster. The optimal mode for the beans is 30 minutes.
Rinse under the crane. Canned bean prepare faster. Only first drain the jam liquid and rinse the beans under the crane to remove the carbohydrates that were separated from them.
For this minority, any dairy food is not a problem. Other it can cause excessive gas and even diarrhea. However, lactose intolerance is not illness.
The symptoms of lactose intolerance occurs three times more often, if you drink milk on an empty stomach. Good option - add it to porridge or flakes. Discontinued milk is better: one-piece does not increase meteorism, but it is rich in fat, so less useful. Several tips for dairy products.
Train digestion. The gas generating gas microflora is incredibly easily adapted. If you gradually increase the dose of milk, the bike community will change in such a way that it will be more successful to cope with lactose. Such training is much reduced by the risk of the meteorism caused by this sugar. When the body is adapted, you can quietly enjoy low-fat dairy products.
Yoghurt: the simplest way out. Yogurt bacteria contain a lot of lactase enzyme (digestive lactose), so that this product is great for those who do not tolerate milk. Any brand is suitable with live culture.
Milk without lactose. If possible, buy dairy products, pre-treated with lactase, t.E. with already digestible lactose. Look in the list of ingredients on packaging words: lactase enzyme.
«Shattering» dairy. In solid lactose cheeses very little. For those who do not tolerate her, chocolate milk is also suitable: cocoa and sugar slow down the digestion in the small intestine, and she has time to breed almost all «musical» sugar. The same property has a combination of fat and sugar in a creamy ice cream, it may not threaten you with a meteorism. However, remember that extra calories and fat is not the best option.
If raffinosis and lactose were the only sources of meteorism, the problem would have solved quite simply. However, any food rich in fiber is the source of gas-forming carbohydrates. At the same time, it warns constipation, some forms of cancer of the stomach and intestines and a number of other disorders, so the fiber should not be abandoned. According to experts, we need it 25-35 g per day. To get such a dose, start the day with porridge (only not rice) or flakes with bran and to pamper themselves with vegetables or fruit to the evening, and if necessary, use special food additives. And now useful tips.
Get used to vegetables slowly. Normal tempo - within a week to get used to one additional daily portion of vegetables or fruits, until you reach the minimum utility - five times a day.
With bran - the same. If you decide to add fiber in the form of bran, do it gradually. Who decided to go to products with bran, should start with small portions, until the intestine to them get used to them.
Activated coal - radical. If the listed methods of combating meteorism do not help, remains to be purchased in a pharmacy activated carbon. Take a pair of tablets after each meal, and the gases in the intestine will not accumulate so much. Remedy Safe, only a chair will darken.
