Feeling a bit "gassy?"

HOMEWORK TONIGHT:  Turn in your fully completed "MY TIME MANAGEMENT PLAN" on the handout I gave you or create a table on word. It must have seven days (Monday to Sunday) filled in so you can plan for next week or any week you like. Make it your own way if you want to, as long as it is effective and I don't constantly hear...."I forgot" or  "I didn't plan ahead"....blah blah blah

Thanks to all of those participating in our discussion today on "gas."  It was very, uh....entertaining.

Here are some fun facts for you.... 

Passing gas. Passing gas around 13 to 21 times a day is normal. Flatulence is excessive gas in the stomach or intestine that can cause bloating and flatus. Flatulence may be the result of problems digesting certain carbohydrates. 

Which foods cause gas?

Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gas. In contrast, fats and proteins cause little gas. Foods that produce gas in one person may not cause gas in someone else, depending on how well individuals digest carbohydrates and the type of bacteria present in the intestines.
Some foods that may cause gas include

• beans
• vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, onions, mushrooms, artichokes, and asparagus
• fruits such as pears, apples, and peaches
• whole grains such as whole wheat and bran
• sodas; fruit drinks, especially apple juice and pear juice; and other drinks that contain high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener made from corn
• milk and milk products such as cheese, ice cream, and yogurt
• packaged foods—such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing—that contain small amounts of lactose, a sugar found in milk and foods made with milk
• sugar-free candies and gums that contain sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol

Have a somewhat "silent" night.  Watch out for the silent ones though. HA HA
