How extreme does gas need to be in a formula fed infant before calling the doctor?


I know all babies have gas but my 4 week old has it everyday all day. He does not seem to be in pain but my other children did not have this much gas. He doesn't see the doctor for another month....should I be worried. He keeps the formula down....little to no spit up and is gaining weight.
----------

All babies have gas, if it doesn't bother him no need to see a doctor. When they are that young they have an immature digestive system that can cause a lot of gas and rumbling. My baby would scream through one poop a day for the first couple of weeks and the doc said it was normal.  (+ info)

What is a searing burner used for on a gas barbecue grill?


I purchased a gas Nexgrill from Costco as a replacement for an aging and rusting old Sunbeam gas grill. You don't get much selection at Costco but generally get great value for the money.

At any rate the new grill came with a separate rotisserie burner and searing burner. The rotisserie burner makes sense but what is the searing burner used for. Do I "sear" something to start with and then move the meat to the main grill? How long? Why? What's the difference between searing something and simply grilling it?

Know any good web sites for more information?

Thank you in advance.
----------

You've already been given a major resource of information so I'll just answer the technical question. The searing burner enables you to do precisely that: sear the flesh to caramelise for flavour prior to extended cooking on the main grill. The main grill provides constant, even heat. The searing burner provides the burst of 'power', which a steady 'glow' never could, to 'scorch' the flesh. It's just another element provided in your armoury to get the most out of your equipment, for the most flavoursome results.  (+ info)

What are some remedies for excessive gas caused by higher levels of protein consumption?


I recently started consuming more proteins balanced with a lot of fiber and water. Each morning I have about 4-5 egg whites in addition to other proteins with each meal. By the end of the day I am having more gas than ever. I use Beano but it doesn't seem to work. Will my body eventually adjust?
----------

the reason your body is producing the excess gas is because you're consuming more protein than you're body can absorb. I suppose if you kick up your workouts, then yes the gas will be lessened.

p.s. excess protein in your diet WILL be converted into adipose(fat). So make sure you eat enough protein according to how you work out.  (+ info)

Whats the difference between propane and gas grills?


my apartment complex says propane only but I have a gas grill..can I not use it?
----------

Technically, the gas grill would be connected to a natural gas line, the propane runs off a propane tank.  (+ info)

How can you get rid of gas problems at night?


I'm getting married and have been having a problem with having a lot of gas before I go to bed. No matter what I eat/drink before hand. I can't keep doing this. What should I do?
----------

Over the counter drugs with simethicone work for many people. Phazyme is one brand name albeit rather expensive. The chain drugstores usually carry a generic version of Phazyme for much less. I've found the gel caps to works well.

Congrats on your upcoming marriage!  (+ info)

How do you get rid of gas while pregnant?


I have been getting gas regularly since I've found out that I am pregnant. What can I take or stop doing to minimalize it?
----------

Antacids
Mild foods
Walking daily
Exercises, 15-30 minutes a day
Drinking more water

It is normal. Infact even not pregnant you pass gas 14 times a day when healthy. You just do not notice it because it is a smaller amount. ( We are not talking the mens football game farts)  (+ info)

Foods such as beans and potatoes cause gas, but is there a food that gets rid of gas?


It would make sense that since some foods cause gas then others would eliminate gas. Right? I want to find a natural way to get rid of gas as I hate taking those chemicals that don't work anyway.
----------

As a martial artist, I follow a diet that mimics the diet of my art's founders and practioners. Rather than going for ice cream or pizza after practice, I end up eating rice, stir-fry, etc. Because of this I eat a *lot* of ginger in my diet. Apart from being excellent for digestive health, it is also believed ginger helps with gas. I can personally attest to this - I rarely have gas problems.

Increase the ginger intake! (No, this does not give you license to eat all the ginger snaps you want. = /)

I want to order some new lenses but I would like to try soft lenses instead of the hard/gas permeable ones.
----------

How do you know the difference between gas an the baby moving?


The doctors said that i should be able to feel the baby kick an move around now, but i don't know how to tell the difference from gas an the baby moving. Is there a way to know the difference?
----------

A baby will kick, gas will come out as a fart.  (+ info)

Can you cook with charcoal in a gas grill?
