How do you prevent gas from cruciferous vegetables?

Lemon juice with meals can also be helpful. And limiting high-fat foods can reduce bloating and discomfort and help the stomach to empty faster, allowing gases to move more readily into the small intestine. You can also try taking Beano before eating your broccoli.

Battling Broccoli? I like broccoli, but, to be frank, it gives me gas, as do related foods such as cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. I know that I’m missing out on important nutrients by avoiding these foods. Is there a way I can eat these vegetables without getting gas?

Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnip greens and kale are rich in antioxidants, which help protect against both cancer and heart disease. Population studies have shown that people who eat a lot of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have lower rates of cancer than those who don’t. We don’t know what constituents of broccoli and other crucifers are responsible for these protective effects. It may be a compound that occurs naturally in broccoli and cabbage, indole-3 carbinol (I-3-C), or the carotenoid pigments these vegetables contain. Other possibilities include vitamin C or sulforaphane, a compound thought to increase production of an anti-tumor enzyme that is most concentrated in three-day-old broccoli sprouts. Most likely, the cancer-protective effects of broccoli and its relatives result from a synergistic interaction of these and other components of the vegetables. Despite their healthy profile, some high-fiber cruciferous vegetables have bad reputations as gas producers due to their content of an indigestible sugar called raffinose (Larger amounts of raffinose are found in beans, which are notorious for inducing flatulence). Methane-producing bacteria in the colon feed on raffinose and release gas in the process. There’s nothing you can do to broccoli and other crucifers to cut down on the gas they induce. Extra cooking just makes them unpalatable and destroys vitamin content (incidentally, cooking broccoli in aluminum or copper pots also destroys vitamins and ruins flavor). The extent to which your body produces gas depends on the types of bacteria in your colon that break down foods for digestion – we all are born with unique assortments of gut flora. Broccoli and the other vegetables you mention are so good for you that it’s worth making an effort to minimize their gas-producing effects so you can enjoy their health benefits. You can try eating yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk regularly, to boost the friendly bacteria in your colon. Taking probiotic supplements, like lactobacillus GG, might be an even better way to do this. Lemon juice with meals can also be helpful. And limiting high-fat foods can reduce bloating and discomfort and help the stomach to empty faster, allowing gases to move more readily into the small intestine. You can also try taking Beano before eating your broccoli. Available at health food stores, it is made from a plant-derived enzyme that breaks down raffinose before it enters the colon, thus reducing gas production. In addition, you might experiment by eating very small amounts of broccoli every day, gradually increasing your intake to see if you can build up tolerance to it. Finally, fennel seeds can help expel gas from the digestive tract – try chewing and swallowing a half teaspoon at the end of a meal. Indian grocery stores sell sugarcoated fennel seeds as digestive aids.

How many hours a day can a baby use a pacifier?

Pacifiers cause eventual crooked teeth. However, pacifier use should be limited to less than 6 hours per day. With that in mind, it's important to remember that each child's mouth and teeth develop differently.

How to Use Pacifiers Responsibly

As a new parent, you want nothing more than to nurture your bond with your little one, grow together in love, and enjoy each moment learning about one another and becoming closer every day. We all want our children to develop into happy, healthy little people, enabled positively by the choices we made during their earliest and development periods. There are differing opinions when it comes to how and when to use a pacifier – and having questions is totally normal. Every baby is unique and we believe that parents know and do what’s best for their little ones. This guide shares what we know are evidence-based facts around pacifiers, so you can make the most educated, informed decisions when it comes to introducing pacifiers responsibly and using one with your baby. We all know that suckling is an innate, natural reflect of most babies. When babies suckle to calm themselves or self-soothe to sleep without nursing, that’s what experts call non-nutritive sucking (NNS). Non-nutritive sucking has already been observed in the womb when your baby practices suckling on their hands and/or fingers. Introducing a pacifier can help satisfy your little one’s natural desire to suckle. Parents have given their babies objects to suckle on for centuries. When choosing a pacifier today, knowing what criteria is most important for your baby’s unique needs – such as weight, material, flexibility, softness, or the shape of the shield and teat – can make a world of difference when it comes to your little one’s overall pacifier experience.
