A member asked:

I seem to get sick when i eat food that gives me gas. lettuce, cucumbers, beans i seem to have a hard time with gas.?

Undigested sugar: Some types of sugars in bean and other plant sources are not digested and then fermented by bacteria in the colon. It is a common occurrence. Try an over the counter preparation like beano.
