Is there a naturopathic way to control flatuence in the cooking process?

Beano works.





While many people say to eliminate the offending food, there is equally good evidence that frequent consumption of small amounts of the offender will eventually encourage the proper bateria needed to digest it. In my case, I begin eating small amounts of split pea soup on nearly a daily basis. Now I can eat beans without distress.Is there a naturopathic way to control flatuence in the cooking process?

Add Baking Soda
It's not necessarily naturopathic, but I've been cooking for over forty years, and I can tell you that many foods that cause flatulence cause a lot less when cooked, such as cabbage and onions. Also, I've found that for us older folks, consuming less beef and pork fat helps reduce indigestion and flatulence. A third means of dealing with that is to consume less in the way of legumes, which tend to ferment in the intestine more readily...and fermentation is what causes flatulence in the first place. Y'should be aware that you can't entirely eliminate it - you'd have to shoot yourself...
add a little asefotieda (pinch) to the oil or butter before you work in other ingredients. Only for hot foods.
Nothing wrong with a good fart now and then !!
