Stop Farting -- Try Sequential Eating for Relief

Got gas? Tummy bubbling and groaning, tumbling and moaning every time you sit down to eat?

Do you pop a Rolaids or Tums after half your meals?

Then you're one of millions of other Americans who aren't digesting their foods.

Want a free solution that has worked for thousands?

Try sequential eating.

This'll sound weird, but it works for a lot of folks.

Instead of eating a forkload of beans and then a forkload of potatoes and then a forkload of salmon, eat all of one food first and then go on to the next item on your plate.

For this to work properly, you MUST eat the least dense food first and the most dense last.

For example, your dinner consists of salad, green beans, boiled red potatoes, and salmon. (We'll ignore the fact that this is a bad combination and that for best digestion starches and proteins shouldn't be eaten at the same meal at all.)

To practice sequential eating, you'd eat all of each item in this order:

  1. Eat all the salad.
  2. Eat all the green beans.
  3. Eat all the potatoes.
  4. Eat all the salmon.
Everyone will think you've lost your mind. Just tell them your doctor told you to do it and then they'll leave you alone.

To repeat the key principle:

You MUST eat the least dense food first and the most dense last.

I had one man write and tell me his 50+ year indigestion problems resolved in two days after he started practicing sequential eating.

Amazing!

Interesting. I was told to eat my protein first for best digestion. I've yet to try either.

I always cook celery with my pea soup & other legume soups & stews as this prevents gas! Apparently something in the celery helps digest the parts of the legumes which cause gas in the first place.

Whenever I have gas, I usually drink a cup of chamomile tea. It helps improve digestion and it really does take care of the gas.

Thank you for the tip, cooking celery with any soup with beans, I will try this. I love the taste of boiled celery. My mom and grandma add it to the Thanksgiving stuffing along with oysters and sage. I hope this gas is gone by next Thursday, Thanksgiving day. I flatulated at work this Thursday without being aware and I thought it was my client, or it smelt like someone was blowing bad breath in my face. I need to watch my diet as I haven't been eating healthy the last few weeks. I've been eating fast food, which I usually do not.

Peas, beans, and legumes all contain difficult-to-digest carbohydrates. For some people it doesn't matter how well cooked or fermented they are -- the carbs in these foods just won't sit right with you. If you've already tried taking lots of probiotics and eating fermented foods to improve digestion, then the best idea is just to avoid those "specific carbohydrate" foods. (You don't need them anyway!)
