What foods to avoid to prevent from having gas? Please include snacks, cereals etc.?
Save yourself a lot of mess and frustration and go get a caulk gunWhile you're at the store, get some caulk that will fill gaps that largeNot all caulks do well with that large of a gap First, prepare the area to be caulkedRemove any loose/falling out caulkClean cob webs, bugs, dirt and that kind of stuff away with a brush or a damp ragThen put the SEALED tube of caulk in a sink or bucket with some hot water in it for about 15 minutesThis makes it flow smootherTake the tube of caulk out of the water and dry the tube with a rag or a towelCut the end at an angle and not too wide an opening, something like 1/4 to 1/3 inchIt's better to have a small opening; it gives you more controlIt might be easier for you to start at the top of the window and do that horizontal run firstYou want enough caulk to cover after you smooth it but don't gob it on eitherIt's better to have to go back and add more! Run your line of caulk by putting the tip of the tube just barely in the gap you are caulkingUse steady pressure on the trigger and move slowlyAfter you get the first line run, dampen your finger in some water and smooth the caulkThen just wipe your finger offAdd more caulk and smooth again if necessaryIt's not a hard thing to do but it does take time and patience.
I'm in the window biz and have never heard of caulking like that but It sounds like it could be done very much like decorating a cake, anyway I would suggest that as you do it you go slow and steady trying to apply about the same amount of caulking as you go after you get it applied use a rounded knife like a butterknife to tool the caulk and you can also smooth it with a little bit of soap and water, wet your finger with the solution and press the caulk lightly it will smooth out
Broccoli, beans, cabbage Which foods cause gas? Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gasBy contrast, fats and proteins cause little gasSugars The sugars that cause gas are raffinose, lactose, fructose, and sorbitolRaffinose Beans contain large amounts of this complex sugarSmaller amounts are found in cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables, and whole grainsLactose Lactose is the natural sugar in milkIt is also found in milk products, such as cheese and ice cream, and processed foods, such as bread, cereal, and salad dressingMany people, particularly those of African, Native American, or Asian background, normally have low levels of the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose after childhoodAlso, as people age, their enzyme levels decreaseAs a result, over time people may experience increasing amounts of gas after eating food containing lactoseFructose Fructose is naturally present in onions, artichokes, pears, and wheatIt is also used as a sweetener in some soft drinks and fruit drinksSorbitol Sorbitol is a sugar found naturally in fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, and prunesIt is also used as an artificial sweetener in many dietetic foods and sugarfree candies and gumsStarches Most starches, including potatoes, corn, noodles, and wheat, produce gas as they are broken down in the large intestineRice is the only starch that does not cause gasFiber Many foods contain soluble and insoluble fiberSoluble fiber dissolves easily in water and takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestinesFound in oat bran, beans, peas, and most fruits, soluble fiber is not broken down until it reaches the large intestine, where digestion causes gasInsoluble fiber, on the other hand, passes essentially unchanged through the intestines and produces little gasWheat bran and some vegetables contain this kind of fiber -from website cited below
