Enzyme Helps Flatulent Fathers JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- For the many fathers who suffer from episodes of flatulence or gas, a natural food enzyme may be the secret to a healthier and happier home life.

"Foods such as baked beans, cole slaw and summer vegetables, the kind you might have on Father's Day, can contribute to the creation of gas," says Dr. Grande. "Advances in food enzymes allow gas sufferers to maintain healthy diets without worrying about discomfort and embarrassment. That's good news for Dads and their families." The natural-source food enzyme in Beano breaks down indigestible sugars into simpler sugars that are digestible, according to Dr. Grande. Because these sugars are broken down and absorbed, their fermentation and consequent gas formation are largely averted. "Products like these are a scientific and a social breakthrough that can help eliminate many uncomfortable social situations," Dr. Grande says. "Everyone produces gas every day. As we grow older, the incidence of gas becomes more frequent. The use of food enzyme dietary supplements can help gassy Dads and their families enjoy their food and each other."
