The Answer, My Friend, Is Blowin’ in the Wind


So, besides reaching for fennel and other supplements and herbs to get rid of this antisocial problem before it strikes, let’s take a quick look at how and why those things that cause the problem can be handled.
Proper food combining takes a little work, but it will help your digestion. When you eat foods together that are not complementary for each other, this can be considered poor food combining.
Let’s just cover the very basics of food combining:
  • In general, do not eat starches and proteins together.
  • Do not eat fruit on a full stomach (empty stomach only).
  • Do not combine fruits with any other food besides other fruits.
  • Do not eat more than one concentrated food (starches and proteins) at any one meal. To demonstrate, eat only fruit in the morning. For dinner or lunch, if you have a steak or some type of meat, have a salad or other green vegetables with it, and leave out the bread and cheeses. Or, have a big salad and add a concentrated food, such as cheese or beans or meat—but choose only one.
