Default Omg The Gas!!!

Since my original post I've had another change in my tastes. Things started to taste like "dog"! Or shall we say essence of dog . It started with my iced tea. So I cleaned my tea maker real good. That didn't help. So much for the only thing I was enjoying drinking. But then everything started tasting like that. Right now that has somewhat let up. But most everything I eat doesn't taste right. I thought for sure I'de beat it. I have always loved chicken chow mein. I had that one night, and couldn't eat more than 3 bites. I think it has something to do with all the extra chewing. My son loved it. All night long kept telling me how good the chow mein was. He didn't know how I felt about it. I'm going back to beans today. Getting ready to cook up a pot of great northerns with ham. And actually, I'm not hungry, I just know I need to eat something.
The one thing that bothers me...when eating I can't tell when I'm full. I don't get that full feeling. Now I do with water. It's immediate. I try to eat slow as I have always been a slow eater, but with 3-4 oz food it's hard.

And I feel at this point I need to mention the gas......OMG THE GAS!!!!
I've already had quite an embarassing moment at the office. That goodness I had warned everybody that it's going to happen....just a matter of time. I can't help it. And sure enough it did. Of course I laughed which caused 2 more outbursts and they ran me out of the office Gas-X strips don't seem to help. Actually the first day I used them I was hauled by ambulance to the hospital for a major gas attack. So I haven't used them since. I'm thinking bean-o might work as you take that before you eat.
So now I'm cooking beans....Lord help me!!!!
