Problem: Article: Gluten is a protein found in certain grain products. If you're sensitive to gluten, you may experience bloating and gas after eating it. The best way to avoid bloating and gas is to cut out products that contain gluten.Gluten is typically found in breads, baked goods, pastas, seasonings, and similar items. Read labels to look for products that are labeled as "gluten free." The body naturally produces hydrochloric acid, which breaks down protein, when you first start eating a meal. If you start a meal by eating carbohydrates, the hydrochloric acid gets used up before the protein you eat later in the meal hits your system. The under-digested protein then ferments and leads to gas and bloating. Instead of starting your meals with bread and salad, take a few bits of your meat, fish, or other protein first. If digesting protein continues to become a problem, consider taking hydrochloric acid supplements, sold at health food stores. Take them after the meal while you are still digesting your food. Chewing your food is the first part of the digestion, when your teeth and saliva start breaking the food down. Making sure you chew every bit thoroughly before swallowing creates less work for your stomach and intestines, reducing the chances the food will ferment and cause gas. Try to chew each bite 20 times before swallowing. Put your fork down between bites to give yourself time. Slowing down how you eat also prevents you from swallowing as much air as you do when eating quickly, so bloating and burping won't occur as often. Proper digestion requires a supply of healthy bacteria. People have been supplementing their bodies with bacteria-containing food for centuries. Yogurt containing probiotics is a common source of bacteria that aids in digestion. Kefir is another cultured dairy product that is easy for the body to digest. Sauerkraut, kimchi, and other fermented vegetables are also good alternatives. Digestive enzyme supplements can help your body break down the indigestible components of beans, fiber, and fats that might be causing your gas or bloating. Try to identify what food is causing the problem and choose the correct supplement. If you have trouble digesting beans, try Beano, which contains the enzyme needed to digest oligosaccharides. Digestive enzymes should be taken before the meal, rather than after, to so your body is ready to digest the food as it hits your system.
Summary: Avoid gluten if you have an allergy or intolerance. Change the order in which you eat food. Chew your food well. Eat fermented food. Use digestive enzymes.

Problem: Article: There are certain behaviors that may indicate inhalant abuse. These include odd smells of chemicals on your child's breath or in his room. You may also find stashed or hidden paint cans or cleaning materials around his room or around your house. He may also have stains or marks left on his hands, his clothes, or on his face from paint or markers used as inhalants. There are materials that are associated with the dispersal of inhalants. Inhalant abuse can be done using the inside of a paper or plastic bag, in balloons, or through a saturated cloth. Look for these materials in your child's room or notice if he carries them around. Immediately after inhaling the product, the person experiences a sense of euphoria as well as dizziness or faintness. They will also have incoherent or slurred speaking and poor coordination. Following this initial feeling of being high, many who abuse inhalants will experience: Sleepiness Lack of inhibition Irritation Faintness Hallucinations or delusions Nausea Slurred speech Changes in mood Decreased appetite If your child has been abusing inhalants for a long time, there are additional symptoms that might arise. Long-term inhalant abuse can produce apathy, depression, and poor judgment. Because inhalants affect the nervous system and increase levels of dopamine, causing great pleasure and reward, inhalant abuse can become habitual and addictive. Long-term inhalant abuse has been linked to a greater risk of STDs, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. There is a link between inhalant abuse and developing tumors as well as a decreased immune system. Additional dangers include bone marrow loss, hearing loss, and heart and lung damage. In some cases, inhalant abuse can cause death when the person uses a very potent or highly concentrated substance, which causes suffocation or heart attack. This has been termed sudden sniffing death. Chemicals that are associated with sudden sniffing death included chemicals from air conditioning coolant, butane, electronic contact cleaners, some aerosols, and propane.
Summary: Look for the behaviors associated with inhalant abuse. Learn the delivery method. Notice the behavioral and physical effects. Recognize long-term behavioral effects. Understand long-term medical effects.
