| GAS |
Many things can give you gas. Chemical activity in the colon produces various gases as byproducts of normal bowel function. Some, such as carbon
dioxide, are odorless, while others, such as hydrogen sulfide, are very odorous. Bowel gas makes no difference in a healthy colon. That isn’t true
however in a diseased or dysfunctional colon. For example, when wastes back up in your bowel, as when happens when you're constipated, gas may become
trapped. Trapped bowel gases can result in extreme pressure, which can manifest as distention and/or pain. When there are diverticulas
(or ballooning of the bowel) trapped waste accumulates. This can lead to fermentation, which results in considerable gas, discomfort, and
reabsorption of toxins into the body, followed by toxicity. Once a bowel has diverticulas, it will never be entirely free of gas. Because
diverticulas are very common in America colons, there are few who can say they have no bowel gas whatsoever. Getting the gas out completely is
almost an impossibility, not only because diverticulitis is so common, but because we are so devoted to the kind of diet and lifestyle that
increases the problem.
Reducing gas in the bowel nearly always means making a change in the diet. If you suffer from gas problems, find out whether any specific foods are a
cause. Eliminate these foods from your diet, or consume them in limited quantities along with foods that are not gas producing. Some foods can cause a
lot of gas in some people and little or none in others. Consuming too much starch or protein tends to cause a lot of gas. The proteins usually consumed
by persons in the United States include red meat, fish, fowl, and dairy products. Although I feel that these animal proteins are not necessarily a problem
in moderation, they may present serious gas problems for some. This is especially true when, for various reasons, protein digestion is incomplete. When
undigested proteins find their way into the colon, they provide nourishment for undesirable bacteria, helping them to multiply. These undesirable bacteria
break down organic compounds by putrefaction. The bacteria produce metabolic wastes that are toxic, disease producing, and gas producing. These organisms
were not intended to inhabit the human bowel in significant numbers. Bacteria that are beneficial and, indeed, necessary for good health cannot live in a
bowel that is dirty, gaseous, toxic, constipated, and overrun with organisms of the unfriendly sort.
Raw foods can also cause gas problems, although they're otherwise excellent for your health. If you want to eat raw foods, you need to heal your bowel
so foods pass through rapidly. Although raw foods do promote a more rapid bowel transit time, if you have a chronically sluggish colon, don't eat too
much of them till you get your bowels moving properly with good diet, adequate water intake, and herbal remedies. Raw foods, as well as live foods
(foods that have not had their enzymes destroyed by heat of cooking), can produce a lot of gas in sluggish, slow-moving bowels.
