Over steaming and over cooking vegetables destroys the nutritional value - vitamins! :td:
Better not to eat them.
Rather then paying for expensive Beano, try Ginger or Ginger Capsules! :)

Green Peppers seems to get me fired up. I do avoid it everywhere I can...

The biggest culprit?

I'd have to go with "ANYTHING my dog eats"!

What does your dog think of all those places unfit for human beings in your profile?
:D

Unfortunatley the dog doesn't go. :(

Sorry, I don't have a dog!
We will have to ask yours.

LOL. Reminds me of the James Herriot story about a Great Dane he was called upon to treat. Nothing could abate the dog's odorus flatulence, so he was finally given to a man who could not smell. :D

I've often wondered if it has something to do with the cabin air pressure and humidity - just over the past year or two I've noticed I've become quite the gas ball after dinner and breakfast on longhaul overnight flights. After touchdown one good trip to the loo a couple hours later usually clears things out.

Doesn't seem to matter what foods I eat or avoid either...

The part I hate is going to the toilet, farting so loud I think the entire cabin must be hearing me, then sure enough, as soon as I get back to my seat and settle for a snooze, I'll be damned if I don't have to increase airspeed yet again!

So far have managed to avoid killing off the entire cabin, but it's always a worry! :p

ProBiotics will put some HEALTHY bacteria in your gut!
 
You need to replace the healthy bacteria in your gut to help digestion.:o
YOu might need to change your diet to some healthier foods,
that those healthy bacteria can break down without the exhaust! :D

Don't be afraid to have some plain yogurt (without all the sugar) on a daily basis anytime, but especially at breakfast. ^
Use fresh fruit for flavoring! :p
Probiotics in capsules can be taken daily to keep the colon funstioning in a cleaner manner. Everybody would benefit from them including the other passengers. :D^

Decreased atmospheric pressure, any gases in the gut expand in volume accordingly.

It has to go somewhere...

Apparently the first thing to indicate a return to consciousness after a general anasthetic is an episode of flatus. According to the article I read, staff in the post-op recovery area have well attuned nostrils as they are looking out for this!

Returning to the theme, I never understood BA's decision to serve a lentil salad as the starter on an overnight flight to the Far East...

Green veggies like brussel sprouts do it to me. And soy products as well, particularly soy milk. It degasses, as you can see by the carton in the fridge swelling up. It continues to degas after you drink it!

And altitude..I get gassy on long haul high altitude flights.
