Unless you like passing gas in public loudly and proudly, my guess is that many of you like to enjoy foods without having the nasty repercussions of that smell and noise coming out of your rear-end later.

What to do? Why, try to minimize or completely avoid foods that promote gas in the GI tract an hour or more later, that's what. Based on data from the National Digestive Diseases Clearinghouse, here are your 'gas' producers:

• Sugars found in milk, cheese, ice cream and other dairy products, fruits, some vegetables, and sodas
• Starchy foods -- such as pasta, potatoes, corn and wheat
• Fiber-rich foods like whole grains, fruits, beans and peas
• Cabbage, broccoli, onions, artichokes and asparagus
  

Now, many of those selections are indeed pretty darn healthy -- but they do produce gas. So, be prepared for a little fun if you eat them.

Making the switch from meat-eater to vegetarian means some healthy changes to your diet, but there's a downside: All those veggies, legumes and tofu may lead you have have a bit of a problem with ... um ... flatulence. Is there any way to avoid this without cutting too much out of your diet?

Here's some advice from Fitsugar:

• If you're just starting out as a veggie, slowly introduce beans and tofu into you diet -- don't eat a whole bunch right from the start
• Mix beans with other foods to tone down the gassiness
• Don't eat or cook with the water that beans are soaked in
• Try a supplement like Beano if all else fails.
  

Veggies, how do you avoid gas?
