why do brussels sprouts cause so much flatulence?

Probably because they are greens, that type of food will make you gassy.

I agree with Tigger.  Some vegetables can cause gas and also some fruits are very acidy, which may bother his throat.  Here is a link to some info:\n\nhttp://www.healthcastle.com/acid_reflux.shtml

I know this might sound really silly, but those artificial shakes and bars always gave me gas.  I never found one that didn't.  I think they put sulfur in them or used dried fruit that was dried with sulfur.  If you want the same results, just eat 1/2 of what you normally would for breakfast (1 peice of toast instead of 2 for example) and 1/2 of what you normally would for lunch.  Drink lots of water and eat a regular dinner.  Don't eat any sweets and don't eat after 6pm.  Brush your teeth alot.

Certain foods causes a buildup of gases in the stomach. The expulsion of these gasses is what you call a fart.

It must be something you are eating - do you eat alot of gassy vegtables like brocolli and cauliflower??? Try changing your diet a little bit and talk to your doctor about this -your stomache could be sensitive to a certain food - are you having heartburn or indegestion??? You could be having ulcers as well which may cause a person to become very gassy

It really means you are fun and nasty...\nBut basically yes... \nRead the composition here:\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane[5]. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled. A small amount of solid or liquid fecal matter in fine particulate aerosol form may also be expelled, and included, along with flatulence.

easy\n\nchemical process, when we process foods we divide the food with the stomach acids, this creates a chemical efect that relises butane and other gases in your intestine, when you fart, you can truly light up your fart and it will burst..\n\nlol but dont do it with out underwear or you will have bad experiences :(

The distinctive odor of feces is due to bacterial action. Bacteria produce compounds such as indole, skatole, and thiols (sulfur containing compounds), as well as the inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that are responsible for the odor of flatulence. Consumption of foods with spices may result in the spices being undigested and adding to the odor of feces. Certain commercial products exist that can reduce the odor of feces.

I'm just going from memory, but I believe it's because the acids in your stomach are breaking down the food, causing gases and nastiness....which basically stinks....I'm sure someone will post a wiki....but that's the gist of it!

The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.

Its strange, go see a doctor.  My guess would be excess gas or food allergy...;

Flatus (passing of gas) is common but varies a lot between individuals.  It is possible that your boyfriend has a medical problem (like a food allergy, lactose intolerance, or difficulty digesting bean products), but it's more likely that he's just more "windy" than other people you know.  If he has other associated symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain) then he should see a doctor and get checked out.  If it's a "simple" digestion problem, he can try eliminating foods one by one (try dairy products first) and see if that helps.  There are also over-the-counter remedies for some problems (like Bean-O, for helping to digest bean products).

The FLABBER is a little known Roman term for a tiny fat sphyncter in your rectum.\nEating copious quantities of boiled cabbage will produce a chemical reaction in the gut that produces a toxic GAS.\nShould you have a husband called Edward, otherwise known to friends and family as TED, I would urge you not eat the aforementioned cabbage as FLABBER will GAS TED.

You just said the answer.\n\nIt is caused by too much diet

NO NO NO... Beans just generate the gas.. So while you eat the beans you gotta eat some thing fatty like sausage.  My own personnal worst (or best) was from some pickled eggs with jalepeno's. I wasnt eating beans too so the volume wasn't there, but man were they potent. AAgh

I'm not a dietician...these are just some thoughts:\n\nLettuce emits ethylene gas as a natural ripening agent.  Maybe your system is intolerant to that, although I'm not sure if the gas can actually be ingested.  However, most fruits and vegetables are sensitive to even low levels of the gas, and the gas can cause early aging and eventually rotting of your other fruits and veggies in the fridge.  Maybe some of the other vegetables in your salad are over ripe -- and cause your stomach ache.\n\nOne other thing: salad dressing contains lactose.  Lactose is the natural sugar in milk. A lot adults normally have low levels of the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose. Also, as people age, their enzyme levels decrease. As a result, over time people may experience increasing amounts of gas after eating food containing lactose.\n\nI hope this helps...
