Bloating

[COOP1]

Hey guys,
Just got a quick question about bloating...When I eat at the local Gringo's and get a couple of bean burritos, it bloat's me for the whole day..Anyone have any insight to what it is in the food that maybe causing this? Thanks for any info!

a lot of things could cause this...

it might have a lot of sodium, which could casue a lot of water retention, but i'm not sure if water retention has any relationship to bloating.

This could be specific to you. Some of the ingredients may not agree with your body.

Most likely....gas. It's burritos. Gas makes you bloated, and i cant think of a better food to give you gas than bean burritos.

Got Beano? Could also be the fiber ...

What causes gas?

The body does not digest and absorb some carbohydrates in the small intestine because of a shortage or absence of certain enzymes. This undigested food then passes from the small intestine to the large intestine where bacteria break down the food, producing gas. The most common symptoms of gas are flatulence, abdominal bloating and abdominal pain. In essence, the body lacks the enzymes needed to breakdown the carbohydrates found in some gassy foods like vegetables, legumes, grains, cereals, nuts, seeds and whole-grain breads. This is where Beano steps in. Beano contains a food enzyme from a natural source that works with your body's digestion to breakdown the complex sugars in gassy foods making them more digestible, thereby preventing gas before it even starts.
