Man, the South Beach low carb, high protein bars make me toot!
It really is embarrassing!!!  I know it's a natural part of the bodily functions but...this function is STINKY!
I try not to let it happen, but I seem to be losing the battle.
The flatulance really comes at the most inappropriate time.
Try being    y knowing what your stomach and intestines and body is cooking up.
Try sitting through a school meeting, hoping to be involved in the discussion  and having to excuse oneself time and again to deal with this problem.
Try getting a massage-- how do you let one rip in that circumstance?
Try driving your 6 year old in the car and sneaking one off.
My friend Linda gave me a funny book about gas.  It's called, "Pee-yew, is that you Bertie?"
It goes and explains all of the ways this family toots and still blames it on the little brother, Bertie-- the silent killer, the machine gun, the popcorn popper.  You get the drift.  (That's a pun.....get the DRIFT?)
Anyway,  since I started having one of these South Beach  bars every day, I've never been so gassy .    Wayne explained that it's the Malytol in the bars.  I don't know what it is, but it doesn't agree with my constitution.  I quit eating the bars and Wayne wondered why.  I explained the farty situation and he went out and bought me a bottle of Beano.
Beano to the rescue!!!  It seems to be working.  Before I eat a bar, I pop a Beano-- and , well, I can't say there is no fluffer, but it does seem smaller and not quite so stomach churning.
"Pee-yew is that you Melinda?"
