There's no way in hell you'd ever consider farting in front of a new person you're dating.

But should you be holding them in?

Holding back your farts might result in excessive gas evacuation or retention,

which could lead to gastrointestinal functional symptoms such as belching, flatulence, bloating and pain.

The most gas-producing foods, in addition to dairy products, onions and hard candy:

Beans
Beans are high in raffinose, a complex sugar that the body has difficulty digesting.

Some vegetables
Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, and Brussels sprouts, are known to induce excessive gas.

Processed foods
Processed foods, such as breads, snacks, cereal and salad dressing, contain fructose and lactose which the body finds challenging to digest and leaves you with a body full of air.
