Information On Flatulence
Information about Flatulence
Although sometimes annoying and often embarrassing, flatulence is a completely natural byproduct of the human digestive process. In order for food to be useful as a fuel, it must be broken down into nutrients ( amino acids, fatty acids and glucose) that the body can use. During this process, digestive enzymes break the chemical bonds of food not absorbed by the small intestine and gas is a byproduct that collects in the large intestine for release. Carbohydrates cause the most gas because of their sugar and starch content which more easily ferment, while foods containing high sulfur content, such as meat, give flatulence its odor.
There are other causes of flatulence aside from natural digestion: lactose intolerance, indigestion of carbohydrates such as beans, too many enzymes or bacteria in the intestinal tract, not chewing food properly, swallowing air while eating, drinking, or chewing gum, and some types of infections in the intestinal tract or conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. If a person suffers from excessive flatulence and perhaps accompanying pain, he or she needs to be checked by a doctor to rule out or diagnose such a condition.
There are ways to decrease flatulence without too much trouble. If you know that you are lactose-intolerant, you can use Lactzyme, our product containing lactase that digests lactose. There are foods to decrease such as apples, apricots, beans, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, some nuts, eggplant, onions, peaches, pears, raisins, sorbitol and soybeans. Its not wise to eliminate them completely because, with the exception of sorbitol, they provide wonderful nutrients. Chew or swallow an Xcuseme tablet before eating a meal that consists of gas producing foods. This Dietary Supplement has been found to be successful in helping break down some carbohydrates more thoroughly. Chew food properly, sip rather than gulp liquids, avoid chewing gum and carbonated drinks and finally, see your doctor if you suspect any underlying condition besides merely digestion.

Testimonials about XcuseMe for Flatulence
I used to use Beano® but switched to Xcuseme when it became available. I was attracted to it by the price -- so much lower than Beano -- but came to prefer it for its qualities.
Beano can only be taken with cool food and liquid. Otherwise it isnt effective. Ive found that Xcuseme is much less sensitive to temperature.
Also, even when temperature isnt an issue, Beano sometimes doesnt work for me. I have found Xcuseme to be much more reliable.
Not being a chemist or a biologist, I dont understand why the products have different effects on me. The both use the same enzyme as the active ingredient. Perhaps its the other ingredients or how they are mixed and bound together.
Anyway, Im glad to have a good product so I can eat chili, hummus, and many tasty bean dishes. I have Xcuseme in my pocket at all times and always take a bottle with me when I travel.

When we bought the XcuseMe it was on the shelf next to the Beano. We noticed the price was less and the product was the same and tried it. My husband has been taking three tablets with each meal and it works so well for him.
Thanks for the great product at an affordable price.
