Ahh, gas. Yes, the funny little thing our bodies do, most usually at the worst times possible. So, if we all do--especially men--they why is it so horrendously embarrassing, particularly if you do it around a guy? Who knows. I suppose it could have something to do with the smell. I like to think of farting as nature's way of telling us what our colons smell like.
Have you ever thought that? I do all the time. When I get a whiff of that methane, I think: "Wow! I'm inhaling the air that was just in someone else's colon!" Lovely.
So, I mention this as an introduction to a little problem I've been having. Recently, I switched over to a vegetarian diet (I can get into "why" on another day--I do have a paper to finish writing tonight) and my system apparently really likes the status quo. I have pretty much been bloated constantly since going 100% veggie about two weeks ago. Well, my system is revolting, my roommates are revolting, and I just plain smell bad 9 times out of 10. What to do?! I know this diet is much healthier for my body, so shouldn't my colon be thanking me? Ungrateful, lowly organ! Hopefully, it will regulate itself as I continue to expel 29 years worth of toxins. I wonder if my dad (a mechanical engineer) could somehow measure the psi in my belly?
