Why does French Onion soup give me such foul smelling gas?

Use Beano before and there will Be No gas.

This begs the question "why would you want no gas?"

<quoted text>Good information to know! That explains the after-effects of Burger King Onion Rings LOL...

I'm not sure if it completely explains those. I think I would have to extract them and analyze them on mass spec. to find out what they spike those things with to cause that wicked of gas.

I don't need a mass spec analysis to know what they do to me. It's always good to eat a couple of large BK onion rings on the way up to Deer Camp! LOL.

me either, although there was a period of time recently in which I did not get the stench or even gas from the BK rings. I was somewhat concerned that my body was no longer processing things in the same manner. After last night however I am happy to say that things seem to be fine.

This is true I mean who would not want to let a good fart out once in a while? Viva La Onions!

Okay - I gotta ask....is this just a guy thing? Or are their gals out there who think like that? I could do without the whole gas thing. Guys seem to beat their chest in pride over it. lol!

I agree - use Beano!! It really does work!

I was told by a chef to add a couple of carrots to the broth of onion soup while it is cooking which absorbs whatever will cause this gastric attacks

because it's french

You have gas you better hold it in cause gas turns to gold and gold is worth money .I have been saving all my gas in jars for a rainy day .Glad I could help

Try going the other way and see how bad it can really get.
Have a Stroh's beer with your onion soup.

And a couple hard-boiled eggs. Your rear-end will turn into an F-18 afterburner.

Foul smelling gas is a result of not enough friendly bacteria in your gut and is lack of enzymes to break down the food particles. Get your self a good enteric coated probiotic and a complete enzyme, such as pancreatin, from yur local health food store, not garbage from a pharmacy, take one probiotic per day and two enzymes with all cooked meals, you will never have this gas again! Plus, you will not have the heartburn that so many americans experience as a result of eating processed, dead foods;-( Hope this helps!

Why don't you stop promoting your business by disguising it as poor medical advice. Steatorrhea, or fatty/foul smelling stool is the result of poorly digested fats by the pancreas (which may indicate a medical emergency and should not be treated with vitamin shop garbage). Since there is no fat in plain onion soup, and it only occurs with that food, then it's just a result of too much water intake from the soup and the fiber from the onion irritating the lining of the gut. That is why vegetables are good for you, they help move things along your digestive track. If you are having the soup with melted cheese on top like most restaurants serve this soup, you may be lactose intolerant.

The comments in this thread are literally making me lol! Especially the one about crop dusting coworkers! But on a more serious note, the same thing happens to me when I eat ANYTHING with onions in it!! I am thinking about trying some beano and seeing how that works out!
