Did you know that most of us pass gas between 12-25 times per day? It's true! Abdominal bloating affects more than 1/3 of the American population and it's quite normal. It's common sense, when we eat or drink expansion occurs because space in our stomach and intestines has been taken up. But if your having trouble fitting into your clothes each day because your of a swollen belly, you may want to be more aware of what you're eating.
Here are 4 foods that could be causing your bloat and gas.
Beans-Although beans are so good for you and the perfect replacement for meat when you're looking for a vegetarian option, they can cause bloat and gas. But if you consistently eat them along with veggies, nuts and whole grains, they won't bother you as much because your body will get used to them. Check out my deliciously healthy black bean dip here.
Apples-Who would have thought? Yes, they're a healthy snack containing 4.5 grams of protein, vitamin C and fiber, but they also have sugars that can cause bloat. Don't stop eating apples, just space them out between meals in moderation. Be aware, pears and peaches are also bloating.
Salt-We're not just talking about the salt shaker here, sodium is in nearly everything that we eat nowadays so be aware of the sodium content of when buying food, read labels and always choose the low sodium options. Salt is one of the most bloating things that you can put into your body and reducing it is the quickest way to drop pounds fast; learn more about this here.
Broccoli, cabbage & kale-These extremely healthy foods contain a sugar that will hang out in your gut until bacteria ferment it producing bloat and gas until then. The good news is, this is another food that if eaten often actually creates a stronger digestive system, causing less bloat over time. Cooking these foods before eating them also limits bloat; check out my broccoli cauliflower bake here.

US: Homophobic church fails to picket university performance of Matthew Shepard play
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Pink news and Benjamln Cohen hate gay people.
Only homophobia can explain this relentless promotion of extremism on this website.
meanwhile PN don't know that Russia is not part ofbthe EU
It's best to operate under the following maxim..
"Know Your Enemy"
So, with your logic, reporting facts and events relevant to the LGBT community is homophobic?
What are you smoking? I want some.
The WBC are not our enemy.
It's 1 family which relies on homophobes like Benjamin Cohen to promote them.
Not our enemy? Are you serious? WBC has often repeated that we should all get AIDS and die. You don't call that hate and they're not our enemy?
I thought they'd already been banned from entering the UK?
It's becoming very tiresome the way that PN has such a strange obsession about publicising the WBC at every possible opportunity. I might as well read the Telegraph.
Initially, What They Did was supposed to be news.
Then what They Threatened To Do was supposed to be news.
Now when they don't do ANYTHING, it's supposed to be news. D'oh !
PN is really losing its way, especially with the stupid new look that's really broken the Comments section. It's very noticeable how the 'Top Users this Week' scores have slumped because of this.
Well WBC regularly does this – announcing an appearance and then not appearing. Why? Because they get publicity for it. And when they do appear, their presence these days is underwhelming.
To be fair, WBC has ultimately done the gay community enormous good. "By their enemies you shall know them" and I am quite proud to be among their enemies…

Beautiful view from terrace. Lots of space in terrace room.
Paying for parking.
Loved the location, very handy to everything and loved the view every day of the ocean. Loved the hot tub; the staff were great; maybe offer a deal or discount on the parking if you stay more than three days. Nice daily housekeeping service. Good deal for the money.
I did not like the breakfast; nothing really very healthy and line-ups in the tight corner to get coffee. The location also came with the smell of the seals lounging on the local rocks and the sounds of the early morning scuba divers getting ready in the park. If you use your fan or AC unit it will drown out the noise but not the smell.
The location and the view.
They froze my debit card with twice the amount of the bill for a long time.
The beach with sealions right next to the hotel, breakfast was good, at the rooftop with a nice view.
No air conditioning in the cheaper room facing the parking lot.
The balcony,the pool and spa.breakfast was ok the vie was beutiful.
Noise from other guests in rooms especially at night when trying to sleep. Walls are to thin, I guess.
We stayed at the La Jolla Cove Suites to attend a wedding at the "Wedding Bowl" in a park about a half mile from the hotel with the reception across the street at the La Jolla Cove Bridge Club. The hotel was in a perfect location for us. The hotel has plenty of parking ($20), balconies, ocean views, kitchen facilities, friendly staff, breakfast included with waffles, strawberries and whipped cream on the roof. Some rooms in an annex section have separate bedrooms with full kitchens- probably for guests with extended stays. Great place to stay if you are doing a wedding and reception in the area. My suite in the annex section had a room of the ocean and the pool below. More than worth the $ I paid.
We loved everything, had a great room, the staff was was the best. And can't say enought about the location. I didn't want to go home we loved it so much. I definitely want to return.
Location Breakfast options Tv and comfortable bed Wifi
Bathroom was horrible. Loud industrial toilet and VERY cramped space. Shower curtain moldy. Room itself was small.
The location was good and the roof top had a wonderful view. The breakfast was very ordinary but did have good waffles and is held on the roof which is nice.
Very old and needs renovation.The bedroom window was right on the walkway and was noisy and there is no sound proofing in the room. The person next door coughed all night and the room is tiny. The bathroom was awful and the shower needed regrouting and the shower curtain was dirty. Pillows uncomfortble. The fan in the room had dust in it. Altogether a horrible experience.
Beautiful view of the beach!!
Wonderful, understanding compassionate helpful staff who will sort everything for you so you don't need to worry because you came to relax not stress about the little things. Great location central to all of La Jolla's attractions and facilities. Loved the mix of retro chic and today's little modern comforts.
Maybe a microwave oven in the room would get a bigger thumbs up?
Roominess and quiet
Loud speaker during tri-at halon and the street closure. No warning in advance of this event.
The oceanfront rooms have a terrific view of the ocean and park. It was convenient to have a kitchenette. Easy walk to great restaurants. Convenient parking. The customer service was excellent. I left an item and the Executive Housekeeper, Raul, went out of his way to find the item and ship it to me.
Decor is a bit dated. Bathroom was tiny.Noisy doors.
Walking distance to shopping and restaurant disrict of La Jolla; Proximity of beach.
Position & lovely breakfast included
Paid for Queen size bed but only had a double. Should have complained but didn't.
I liked the breakfast was fresh...
I didn't like maids they didn't clean after I told them to come in 30 min and I was gone for three hours! Couldn't find someone to bring clean towels and pool had poop and wasn't cleaned for two days checking in took them like 20 min to give me a total because they didn't know how. Neighbors we're having a loud party and security never came to lower it down
Enjoyed the ocean views from the porch, the bedroom and the living room. The room was up high. Also enjoyed the three mile hike we took along the beach. Worth every minute. So beautiful!!!! The breakfast was really delicious, with an ocean view! And the staff so nice.
The lamps and radio on the bedroom dresser looked like they had not been dusted in ages! Surprised me! And the fold-out bed, was so uncomfortable, but most are anyway.
Excellent location for fabulous views, walks and sunsets. Generous size of apartment, parking and breakfast terrace.
No air conditioning. Bad smell from the coves/seals at times but not always.
beautiful deluxe one bedroom suite - spacious, clean, nice style and furniture - as people mentioned it was not brand new but in good condition, clean and charming with a character. Perfect for family with toddler or with friends. amazing veiw and location!!!! We enjoyed hot jacuzzi very much and pool we came in october so absence of ac did not bother us, fans were more than enough to make space cool and comfortable breakfast on the roof with nice quiet music - breathtaking! Even with parking fee it was still great deal for what we got (compare to standard plain tight rooms for the same price or higher in other hotels I researched)
When I opened window in bedroom I saw net was dusty and window frame also - it seems since window looks toward the corridor and curtains are always closed the housekeeps probably miss this part when they clean.
The room was incredible and our view off the balcony was amazing. My wife and I enjoyed every second of our honeymoon here at La jolla Cove suites!!!!
Nothing to dislike.
Location is everything, good as possible. ....
We missed a microwave oven at the rooms kitchen
View and location but La Jolla was a disapointment.
Run-down. Breakfast horrible! Just fat and sugar, nothing with any substance. Got out of there as fast as we could.
View was nice. Breakfast area had a nice view as well.
Stop reading reviews, do not stay here! So many negative points. Bedroom is on the hallway side of the building, which is an atrium where all sort of noises from all levels get delivered directly to your bedroom.. -We got knocked 3 times by different cleaning staffs by 9:30am. Even though we had "Do not disturb" sign up!! - Balcony's are too close, so you either have the view or the privacy (by closing the curtains) -There is 1 elevator for each building, (building is super old) so good luck getting in and out of the building specially in the morning. - Overnight parking is free across the street (5pm-8am) and 3 hr parking after that. so you are ok til 11am. The MOTEL charges $20 a night. I live in OC and been to San Diego many times. I love traveling and have visited many countries, never been disappointed this much by my room.

The following blog post was written by 2014 Collections Technician Katrin MacPhee*
"… Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday."
Shakespeare: Othello III.iii [1]
Earmuff-clad, Harry Potter and his friends wrench unyielding mandrake plants from their cozy earthen beds to replant them in pots large enough to accommodate their growing bodies. The mandrakes are described as having anthropomorphic forms and features. While the wails of the adult mandrakes are fatal, Professor Sprout assures her herbology students that the cries of the young plants would only "knock them out for a few hours." [2] As the narrative of the Chamber of Secrets unfolds, the mandrake's power to revive victims of petrification proves crucial to the plot.
As Harry Potter was (as you may have guessed) a much-adored part of my childhood (and, ahem, adulthood) I was familiar with J.K. Rowling's vision of mandrakes. Imagine my delight when I learned, while sifting through pharmaceutical artefacts within the Museum's collection, that the Museum of Health Care possesses eight mandrake medication containers or trading cards.
What, I thought to myself, were such whimsical fancies doing outside the herbology classroom and in my very own hands? Fans of Rowling's series are likely aware that many characters, names, and objects within Harry's world were inspired by a variety of mythological traditions. As I take you on a whirlwind tour of various perceptions of the mandrake, you will discover how firmly rooted Rowling's mandrakes are within long histories of medical, literary and folklore practices.

The government should use proven tools to improve its counterterrorism performance
The business of connecting the dots of information received from diverse sources and then developing conclusions about terrorist threats is more complicated than often suggested in media accounts. Nonetheless, we have a right to demand that counterterrorism organizations measure their performance and learn how to refine their analysis methods so they do the best possible job of protecting us.
One approach that might help is for the National Counterterrorism Center, an organization established in 2004 specifically to work on connecting dots, to adopt a version of the "mystery shopper" technique that many businesses use to measure and improve their performance.
In traditional settings, retail companies hire a mystery shopping service to send "undercover" shoppers into their stores to collect information on the customer experience, identifying both strengths and weaknesses. Management then uses that data to devise training programs to improve customer service.
Here's how it would work in the National Counterterrorism Center: A dedicated staff would be responsible for sending information about fictional individuals into different parts of the intelligence system, whether National Security Agency telephone intercepts or reports from agents on the ground. The unit would be responsible for tracking whether and how analysts evaluated the information — that is, did they successfully connect the dots?
The center's performance would be measured by the percentage of cases the analysts correctly identified as exhibiting a high risk of terrorist behavior. The metric could be tracked by organization, by team and eventually — when enough cases have been assembled — by analyst.
Before starting, the mystery shopper unit would need to develop a consensus about which information patterns suggest a high risk of terrorist activities. And it would need to avoid planting too many high-risk rumors, which could overwhelm the center's resources. So the unit would also need to send noise or low-risk information as well and track the percentage of good hits versus low-risk hits. A mystery shopper unit would also want to vary the types of information it sends to see if certain sources or types are less likely to be successfully identified.
Like performance measures in general, if such metrics are used as a management tool, they should improve the performance of the counterterrorism system. Establishing challenging performance targets will motivate employees to work harder and be more vigilant. Varying the kinds of information fed into the system will allow officials to diagnose its weaknesses so agencies can better target training or changes in techniques.
The center would need to create a learning environment in which honest errors are discussed but not punished — what professor Amy Edmondson, who has done research on how hospitals can best reduce medical errors, calls psychological safety.
The country needs the best possible performance from its National Counterterrorism Center. There are management tools that have proven effective for improving performance in many contexts outside counterterrorism. The government can no longer afford to ignore them.

The analysis group needs more time to identify potential terrorists as the amount of data "explodes" that they are reviewing. Spending time finding fake terrorist will surely detract from spending time looking for the real ones. There has to be a better way than wasting security experts time playing what essentially is a game rather than looking for the next "real" bomber.
I think the idea is standard and foolish. Identifying high risk terrorist behavior has already been done and procedures set up. Adding in the mystery shopper is a _compliance_ measure now, to ensure that everybody in the analyst chain is following the identified procedures.
It doesn't improve security; it merely measures the way we are already tracking data that we already believe is high risk.
Typical security mentality thinks compliance with the rules means the rules work. We can use computers to force password complexity and length and prevent repeat use, but that essentially forces people to write their password down.
Those security analysts subject to mystery shopper techniques will get very good at identifying what they are told to measure by those above them on the security chain. What they will miss is anomalous data and there will not be any incentive (or time) to investigate what will probably be the next style of terrorism to occur.
As long as the initial identification of high risk behavior is correct, then measuring the compliance of the worker to meet that goal will help achieve the goal of better security.
But if the terrorists change tactics due to security, then we are essentially tying the hands of analysts, forcing them to look for targets that have become irrelevant; fighting the last war so to speak instead of preparing for the next one.
This is great until the name used by the mystery shopper is close to yours and you end up on the no fly list and Local Law Enforcement is kicking your door in? How do you "un-connect" the dots, once you have entered false/msileading information into the system? There has got to be a better way.
