Summary
It's one of the less pleasant side effects of eating a plant-based diet. Gas! Thanks to your healthy diet you may be able to clear a room in one "foul" swoop.
The Gut Health MD, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share tips for reducing gas and bloating while transitioning to a plant-based diet. In fact, the same advice can help those of us who have been fiber fueled and without meat or dairy for some time.
Chuck also reaches in to the Doctor's Mailbag to ask Dr. B questions from Exam Room listeners looking for advice to improve their gut health.
- Does lemon water help digestion?
- Do men have more gas than women?
- How can you increase good gut bacteria?
- How can you reduce bloating from cruciferous veggies?
- What foods are best for chronic constipation?
- Many more!
