Tip of the Day-Asparagus

I am tired of the same veggies: Spinach, broccoli, romaine, green leaf  lettuce and cucumber(which is said to be a fruit). I stopped eating broccoli because of the gas and bloating. I have been trying new veggies and 2 weeks ago I tried asparagus..I thought they might be in the same family and was worried it would give me gas too but I found no info confirming that. But OMG it gave me worse gas and bloat than broccoli ever did. I awoke the next morning with belly pain.  I was so mad at myself  and hurt because I enjoyed eating it. I had sauted it in that new flavored butter by land o lakes. The Italian herb. It really was delicious. Well I passed gas for about 2 hours. my pain had finally left and my tummy went down. So I thought that was that..no more asparagus for me. Well last week there was a sub sponsor at weight watcher(WW). I almost left because the reg sponsor wasn't there and I didn't want to hear any body else talk. I hesitated but I stayed. So glad I did. TIP: She mentioned if your having trouble with broccoli or asparagus to boil them in club soda for just a couple of minutes and you wont have gas or bloating. I was leery but I thought this info was meant to be because I almost left. So I tried it. I didn't want to just have it boiled because I found a recipe I wanted to try. So I boiled it for a quick minute or 2. Flashed chilled them and then incorporated them in to my intended recipe. YAY!!!No GAS and NO Bloating. So there it is..boil asparagus in club soda. I used Kroger brand. Other info I found out is asparagus has less calories(20) per 100g less carb(3.9) and less protein(2.2) than broccoli. So if either veggie doesn't agree with you, give this tip a try and tell me if it worked for you.
