Beans are the notorious musical “fruit.” A few more noisemakers...


Beans are infamous for their ability to create natural gas but some other foods are just as bad, if not worse. 

Depending on the food - odor and velocity of flatulence can vary. Some common humdingers include:


• Grains like whole wheat, barley and wheat bran. 

• Vegetable bombs include Brussels sprouts, asparagus, tomatoes and turnips.

• Legumes like peanuts and peas. Navy and lima beans are big offenders.

• Fruits including apricots, grapes, peaches and pears are particularly musical.

Everyone is different and some people just produce more gas than others. If that’s you, identify your triggers and eat accordingly. Whatever you do, don’t hold it in. That can cause bloating, indigestion and heartburn.
