There you are again - it's half-past two and
you're regretting
dining on those
refried beans during
a co-worker lunch
to boost morale.
Unfortunately, the
beans have boosted
more than your morale.
So
there you sit, pent
up at work with
pent up gas. There's
nothing that can
quite match the
misery of holding
back the big one.
Sort of like
an over-filled balloon,
stretched to the
limits, depending
solely on gravity
to halt the explosion.
Co-worker
Ann passes by your
cubical and offers
a shy smile. Or
is she suffering
from pent up gas
as well, you suddenly
ponder.
You
glance at the clock.
Good gravy,
only a minute has
passed since you
experienced that
swelling feeling
rooted dead-center
in your padded office
seat. You
suddenly think that
if you hadn't managed
to thwart that dastardly
wave of gas, there
may have been a
curtain of cushion
stuffing now circling
through the office.
How,
oh how are you going
to manage to keep
the silence for
2 and a half more
hours? We'll
keep our fingers
crossed, along with
a few tips and comments
that might be of
help for those who
are pent up at work
with - yes, you've
got it....pent up
gas:
The
Digestive Track
Basics: Much
of our digestive
woes can be attributed
to the work place,
particularly those
jobs that see little
physical activity.
A plugged up digestive
track may make an
individual feel
bloated, crampy
and may even make
the weight scales
weigh in a little
heavier.
 "Toot
Toot!" And
now for those tips:
Blow up your gas
problem before it
has time to settle
it! Whenever you're
going to enjoy a
breakfast or lunch
that contains gassy
foods, don't forget
the Beano or Gas-X.
Try to set aside
a time before work,
or after work for
potty time. In this
instance, establishing
a habit can be beneficial
to digestive health.
Rather than hitting
soda during
the day, reach for
clear sparkling
water. Soda
contributes to gas
in the gut.
Gassy food list:
eggs, cabbage, broccoli,
onions, brussel
sprouts, prunes,
and yes, beans.
