I think it is crazy to advise people to cut down on the crucifers; cabbage, broccolli, colliflower, etc. They are amongst the most healthy food options available with a whole wealth of vitamins and minerals. The real problem is likely to be other things in the diet such as sugars, simple carbohydrates that turn rapidly to sugar (eg white bread and potatoes) and an excess of "bad bacteria" that combine with the healthy stuff to cause the gas. Cut down on any high glyceamic foods and drinks, get out and exercise, and eat even more green stuff! If you want to know more google glycaemic index (or the yanks spell it glycemic).
