Question 1

i don't eat much, if any, gassy foods so why am i so gassy?

Accepted Answer

Few possibilities...: Gas can certainly be the aggravated by our food choices.  Many components of our foods including some sugars e.g. Disaccharides, oligodisaccharides are difficult to digest and therefore get broken down by bacterial flora in our guts producing gas.  See ibsfree.Net for more diet advice.Other considerations include celiac disease - wheat protein intolerance or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

Question 3

how much time does food posioning take to hit?

Accepted Answer

It really depends: On the type of food poisoning.  Some "poisonings" occur related to a preformed toxin that a bacteria had already released into the food you ate.  That type of food poisoning  "hits" you foods on the order of hours.  Other types of food poisoning require an incubation time for a bacteria to create problems, and that may take on the order of days, even up to a week or two!

Question 5

how much food should i give my five year old son?

Accepted Answer

So he's not hungry: This seems obvious but it can be difficult, especially if they are being picky. A healthy 5 y/o won't starve, so if he's just occasionally picky, it's fine. There should be a small amount of meat, a decent amount of fruits and veggies during the day (about 1/2 cup or so at each meal), and some bread product, but not too much. If you're still not sure, or he's losing weight, discuss with your ped.

Willpower: Hi. I know it's hard in our society, but many of us are successful in living a healthy lifestyle.

Question 9

how much food is necessary daily for a 2 1/2 year old?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Every child is different, but generally they eat what they need, you just need to offer health choices. Sometimes it doesn't seem like they eat enough, but 2-3 year old dont eat large amounts, so should encourage healthy snacks throughout the day. As long as they are following growth curves correctly, should be fine.

Question 10

why do doctors say don't eat so much white grain food?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: White grains (white rice, white bread, white pasta, etc.) are simple carbohydrates. This type of carbohydrate, when digested, turns into sugar quickly. This rise in blood sugar will cause a corresponding rise in one's Insulin level. The rise in Insulin can result in hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar symptoms of feeling sluggish, tired, shaky, and weak. Moderation is best.
