Onions causing bloating, also leeks and maybe broccoli

You should just remove yourself from the gene pool

Lookup low FODMAP diets. There are a few compounds in foods like oligosaccarides which disagree with the gut of people who have IBS and others disorders. You have listed the highest on the offending foodlists. This has nothing to do with dairy which is from lacking digestive enzymes due to genetics

Echoing this. I used FODMAPs to figure out that I am sensitive to higg-fructan produce; I save the smelly shit like broccoli for when I eat out.

Thanks.

I'm sure I don't have IBS and I have always been thankful for it...but I probably have something. I love onions and leeks, I try to eat healthy, I get bloated belly and runs to the bathroom. : (

I was recently diagnosed with SIBO, small intestine bacterial overgrowth. I try to follow FODMAP to the best of my abilities (bread is just too good). Consider going to a gastroenterologist, and getting a SIBO test done.

The fucking idiot who cut the onion for the picture FIRST cut it lengthwise and THEN sliced off the top of one half.

>>8633262
What's wrong with that? Genuinely asking

>>8633280
You cut off the top end of the whole onion first, THEN you place the onion on the cut surface so it will keep stable. THEN you can safely cut it lengthwise without it trying to roll away and you cutting your fingers in the process. Plus it saves you a third cut.

Makes sense. Never had an onion roll away on me though

Grandma’s Cooking Secret
Bride finally questions why her mother cuts the ends off roasts before cooking them.
http://www.snopes.com/weddings/newlywed/secret.asp

Collected on the Internet, 1994]
The new Jewish bride is making her first big dinner for her husband and tries her hand at her mother’s brisket recipe, cutting off the ends of the roast the way her mother always did. Hubby thinks the meat is delicious, but says, “Why do you cut off the ends — that’s the best part!” She answers, “That’s the way my mother always made it.”

The next week, they go to the old bubbie’s house, and she prepares the famous brisket recipe, again cutting off the ends. The young bride is sure she must be missing some vital information, so she askes her grandma why she cut off the ends. Grandma says, “Dahlink, that’s the only way it will fit in the pan!”

I've always cut off the top first, because that's how I peel onions. I did a job for Colossal Onions once, at first, the boss had a labour division where one chopped and the other peeled, but I get to work by myself because I'm fast, I'm fast because I do this:

1. Chop the top of the onion, but stop short of the skin at the other end - this save the board/table from being scored by the knife too.\

2. Take the top that is dangling by a fragment of skin, rip it diagonally downward. Now the onion skin can be degloved from the onion in one unwrap.

>Colossal Onions

I just googled that, looks tasty (but pretty high caloric)

Apparently nobody has ever told them there shouldn't be a comma after treat
