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.
