beer and intestinal gas

[mitch171]

Sorry bringing back an oldish thread but next thing we know Al Gore will be blaming Home brewers/craft beers for global warming or climate change or whatever they are calling it now.

So keep it on the DL K?

You must consider yourself as the final fermenter for your beer. Once you have grasped that, and accept yourself in this process, you will find peace.

Ohhhhhmmmmmmm...... Ohhhhhmmmmmmmm..... :cross:

hm, I'm reading this thread from the very beggining and wondering.


can you tell me one thing - as far as I understand the main producer of gas inside my intestins is yeast.

this very sensitive, gentle, subtile, tiny yeast that we are all so afraid it might be killed if it is pitched at 5 degrees higher temperature than it is written somewhere...

sooooooooooo:

how come this sensitive, gentle, subtile yeast survives gastric acid - one of the strongest acids at all????

No, don't think so. Long-chain sugars that get fermented late in the the digestive system are responsible for intestinal gas. Do a google search for raffinose.

The stomach contains enzymes (like your mash!) that break down (hydrolyze) many sugars, but not raffinose. However, the raffinose does get hydrolyzed by bacteria in the lower intestine, resulting in... yep... phlurburburburb-phssst.

hm, is there a way to fight it or at leas to reduce it but not reducing the beer amounts that I consume?

It's not the yeast that produce the gas, themselves, it's digesting the yeast that's giving you the farts from hell. It's the same with digesting the oligosaccharides. To put it simply, you're body can't do it, so all those lovely bacteria in your gut are doing it for you.

If anyone is having some gut troubles from beer, and they just aren't bearable (or improving), try Beano.

I am telling everyone that your body will adapt. It just takes some time. Or drink light filtered beer....

I've tried beano - no help. it's the same.....

Try simethicone. (Gas-X, or generic equivalent. 4 bucks at WalMart.)

 

[knightbeer39]

How about a big cork?

I'm taking double dose of beano together with double dose of simethicone (gas-x) and it's the same, no help... I fart sooooooooo much

I found the perfect solution to the problem. Actually my wife found it for me.

The Absorbent Couch Cushion.

An alternative for those on the go:

Snow Pants with elastic bands on both the waist and cuffs.

And my fraternity was PU.

Man, when I first started drinking homebrew, I would fart like a pack mule. Not really anymore. - Dwain

Concealed weapon charges don't appeal to anyone.

 

[jbambuti]

Reading this thread, I keep coming back to the fart facts that Revvy shared. Who are these fart researchers and how did they end up with such a sh***y job (pun intended)?

Thanks all. lmao

 

[ThereThere]

This thread has made me infinitely more excited for my first homebrew to finish fermenting.

 

[WyomingBrewer]

I can finally tell my wife why my farts have been better than hers lately. I think she is jealous and she will not drink my home brew so BOOYAH, IN HER FACE!!!

 

[Rivenin]

i'm experiencing this as well, and oh lord.. i feel bad for my co workers next to my desk area, within a 10 foot radius...
it's with too much beer consumption in general, but with home brews it's gotten alot worse. but hey... gotta pay to play right?
i'd rather have the farts realy bad then having broken bones from moto crossing or something more dangerous in general!

 

[petey_c]

If I have bad gas at work, I'll either walk away and crop dust (away from them) or go to the loading dock. At home, we're a family, right? It's only natural to want to share. No more "Dutch ovens", or "waves" for SWIMBO. Payback is a biznatch from her. I know a guy who farted in (on?) his wife's pillow just before she went to bed. "Did you just fart?" Nope, not just...

Snicker snicker.....

I had a professor at grad school who cut one loose. He just turned around and said excuse me. Of course my immature buddies and I couldn't stop laughing. I think it cost me a letter grade.

 

[dmbGator]

I must say I just stumbled upon this while at work and I am dying laughing. This has to be one of the funnest threads I've found here. Here's my homebrew gas story and the SWMBO was pissed. Let's just say when you wake her and yourself up in the middle of the night because of a fart, you instantly start laughing so hard that tears come to your eyes. We'll at least I did.

 

[dgremark]

LMFAO! As tears are running down my check in the office at work!

 

[SilentAutumn]

Some folks initially experience some gas and maybe some bloating when the get involved with homebrewing and drinking larger amounts of "living beers;" beers that are bottle conditioned, and have a greater percentage of yeast in it than commercial light lagers.

Oh dear god, sometimes if I drink a large beer too early, my *ss sounds like an angry dog barking. I find it hilarious. My wife? Not so much.

Not all tools in homebrewing are scientific.

 

[Hex]

I fart for isowhatyoucallems! yeast, not so much...

My reasoning is that if I drink raw apple juice, I get the back house blues, but fermented raw apple juice with lots of yeasties, no problemo.

I thought a thunderstrom woke me up only to find it was a fart attack.SWMBO was still down stairs.

 

[TzeentchPlayer]

I'm sitting in the waiting room for college counseling. Needless to say I'm THAT GUY who's quietly laughing to himself in the corner.

Me and my boss have farting contests at work and after a good day of drinking the day before I'll fart in his office and close the door. He has yet to win.
