3/31    Is there a way to counteract the effects of fiber? My wife made
        asparagus soup last night and I ended up eating somewhere between
        3/4 and 1 pound of asparagus.
        \_ beano
        \_ 1 pound of asparagus only has 1/2 daily recommended dose of fiber
           \_ that's not what my colon said.
              \_ It's not the fiber in beans that makes you fart.  It's
                 an indigestible (to you) sugar that your colon germs
                 like to turn into gas.  Asparagus could be similar.
                 \_ And makes your pee smell.
                  \_ Beans make my pee smell?
                     \_ Asparagus.
        \_ Fiber makes you regular.  What does too much fiber do?
           \_ It makes ME have to poop several times a day instead of
              once.  I find that annoying.
