daikon Makes me fart

[Big Booger]

Sorry about the topic,

But it seems every time I eat daikon I have to fart like crazy.. and they smell horrible.. it nearly makes me barf just thinking about it..

It doesn't matter how the daikon is prepared, boiled, shredded, fried, cooked,
it doesn't matter what else it is served with, regardless, I always have to fart and the smell is unbearable..

Any of you experience this farting phenomena with daikon? If so, did you ever find a way to treat the fart attacks? I mean after I eat the daikon I usually have to fart all day long..

I know, I could just stop eating daikon, but it is kind of rude to not eat something that a family member makes and serves to you..

Any food I can eat with the daikon to neutralize the gas effect?

[bejiita]

You might be allergic to daikon. Excess gas can be a sympton of a food allergy. However, you will have to see a doctor to conduct some allergy tests to confirm this.

I know I am allergic to some foods and experience the same reaction as you. All the various OTC gas medications didn't help one bit.

[cstaylor]

I'm sure your family will understand if you get a doctor's response about the allergy. Glad I'm not allergic to it, since we eat it all the time at home. I DO wish I was allergic to shirako though... yuck.

[Big Booger]

Well I might just go see the doctor about it.. I mean it is seriously effecting my intestinal track..

Sometimes it also leads to stomach cramping.. usually though just a serious case of gas.

I might pass on the daikon next time and just tell them it is an allergy.

Take activated charcoal tablets.. they will help with the gas.

Also good if you have other GE problems like stomach flu or even if you have food poisoning or have had too much to drink.

Activated charcoal won't hurt you at all. It will pass through your system and just collect gas and other nasties in the large spaces between the carbon atoms in the structure.

(BTW if you take other medicines it will reduce their effectiveness)

nah - we used to use it in the lab for removing colour particles from solutions..

So my double major in chemistry (synthetic organic+ inorganic) from UQ has to count for something.

Also activated charcoal tablets reduce the amount of vitamins that are available to the body. An alternative is fresh mint or real (not synthetic) pepperment oil capsules....for fewer but minty fresh farts!

Ah yes Taro - thanks for reminding me to mention that charcoal is just a temporary solution if you have GE pain due to gas or you have food poisoning etc.. this will not meant as a long term solution..

Rumour has it that BB's Daikon Bakuhatsu is being harnessed as a weapon of mass destruction (named after BB as the BB Gun). The daikon-fart gene from BB has been implanted in sailors (notice I didn't say seamen - doh!) who are force-fed daikon and then aimed at a target.

Early tests near Taiwan look promising ...





(No offence BB, but I saw this photo and this topic today and couldn't resist - I hope you sort out the diet thing)

Well I have decided to just skip on the daikon. It is better than stinking up their house.

Sounds like the way to go

Facing up to the ill winds of flatulence syndrome
(Mainichi) Aug 05
.... the reality is that growing numbers of Japanese, especially women, are afflicted with flatulence syndrome, which makes them fart incessantly...
...."Every healthy adult will expel from 1,000 to 2,000 milliliters of gas by farting every day. Each fart contains from about 50 to 500 milliliters, so it's normal to fart about 20 times a day. There's no fixed guidelines to say whether anybody is farting too much," says Daisuke Sasaki of the Hirosaki University Public Health Center. "Put it the other way, not farting at all would be unhealthy and a real problem."


Also Hiroshima observes the 59th anniversary of the bombing of the city on August 6th

Volcanic gases adding extra bite to acid rain
--- Corrosion is traced to the Miyakejima eruption.---Asahi Shimbun, Japan Sept 1
YOKOHAMA--Acid rain, made more corrosive by volcanic gases from Miyakejima island, is eating away at metals in Yokohama and surrounding areas, officials of a local research institute said.
The volcano has been spewing gases since it erupted on Miyakejima island in 2000.
In Yokohama, some 150 kilometers to the north, metals were corroding in 2003 at twice the rate they were before September 2000, when large emissions of gases began ...

Farting ain't half as bad as the snoring problem I've got.


CPAP bound!

Farting ain't half as bad as the snoring problem I've got.

I'd say from the picture above you've developed some gender problems since last summer.

Beano really works. I pop a few before drinking (at my age you get the farts bad) Beano and fiber pills and you are good.

Good thing I'm not married to her. I would have been dead along time ago.
