I'm just the opposite. The older I get, the less the ass gas...

I finally have found the wisdom and the self control needed to avoid certain foods and food combinations that have always resulted in the "gassy ass syndrome", for me.
Imprecise digestion and/or excessive sugar in the diet = excessive food fermentation in the gut.
Insufficient fiber and/or too many ultra-processed foods in the diet = insufficiently heavy or "bulky" stool, insufficient stool moisture, and an unhealthy bacterial "biome" in the gut...
Basically, I try to minimize the eating of badly contrasting food group combinations and/or too many ultra-processed foods:
- Never combine high starch foods with high protein foods in the same meal. Either type combines well with non-starchy vegetables, however.
- Never combine fats, proteins, or fat/protein mixtures with sugars or sweet fruits like raisins, prunes, figs, etc... Sugars and starches will ferment in the gut and will produce gas in the ass unless they can exit the stomach and the intestines alone, unimpeded by foods that take longer to digest.
- Starches are eventually converted into sugars in the digestive tract, but sugary foods and non-sugary starches are best eaten separately. Sugary food types usually digest more quickly than non-sugary starch types do, so let them each go down separately, if possible.
- Eat fruits with fruits and vegetables with vegetables. Don't combine the two, if possible. Also try not to combine sweet fruits with acid fruits, or fresh fruits with dried fruits.
- Starchy vegetables and non-starchy vegetables are usually OK together, in a meal consisting of vegetables alone.
- Don't drink too much liquid with meals. Drink up an hour before, or a few hours after heavy meals. Small amounts of liquid can help with digestion, but too much liquid dilutes digestive fluids.
- Don't mix different types of proteins together, if possible.
Dairy products need to be curdled before digestion, so the stomach pours out "renin" at first, to do the job. The strong digestive fluids for dairy proteins come out later on, after the curdling process has started and after fats have been neutralized. Meat, nuts, beans, etc.. require stronger digestive fluids right at the beginning, after the fats are neutralized...
Therefore, mixing up dairy proteins with other types of proteins results in imprecise digestion(s) for the entire stomach mixture...
Try to eat high-protein dairy products alone or only with other dairy products, or only with non-starchy vegetables. As with other proteins, avoid mixing them up with many starches, sugars, or too many fluids.
Follow these food combination guidelines and your wife will thank you.
