PSA: Tabouli may not be the best meal choice  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
It's 12:15 AM my time, I'm exhausted, and yet I'm in here. Here is the computer room. With a fan running.

Why?

The most rancid gas in the known universe, and after the last four months, I know from gas.

I had tabouli for dinner, and a little hummus. The tabouli, pre-pregnancy, admittedly caused a touch of gas. But it has been five HOURS since I snarfed a bowl full of the stuff, and I'm still puttering like a cheap fishing boat every few minutes. The clouds of stench are truly hideous. I can't do this in the bedroom, I just can't. I never even pooted in front of my husband (we've been together for six years, married for three) before I got pregnant, let alone... this. He's been very understanding, of course, but no one could understand this except for maybe a musk wolf or a skunk.

DO NOT EAT TABOULI.

Thats sooo funny. My husband is Palestinain, so I learned to cook all the middle eastern foods and they do cause gas! I have been craving hummus with celery, I use the hummus as a dip for the celery. It is delicious!

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. I really love tabouli but it's always affected me like that. But I'm horribly sensitive to garlic.

Hee hee I get tabouleh when I really need to be cleaned out! It doesn't usually affect me like that but during pregnancy... yikes!!

I don't mean to laugh...my husband is like that most times when he eats broccoli.

I do not like tabbouleh, but that is good to know to stay away from it.

Tabbouleh, hummus
100% agree...
I'll add another to the list:
Falafel... i love them all, but they have GOT to be the most obvious instigators of this thing called "the winds"...
I have a cabinet full right now of all the makings, but I haven't been brave enough to do that to myself just yet.

I'll add another "watch out" food to the list...LAMB. Oh - my - goodness. I didn't realize my body could create smells like that. (That doesn't stop me from eating it, though! And farting in front of DH - you know, pregnancy farts, they will not be contained! And laughing really hard, because it's just so astonishing.)
