Socratic method, also known as method of elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate, is named after the classical Greek philosopher Socrates. It is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas.
The sugars which produce gas are fructose, sorbitol and lactose. Lactose is milk sugar which is found in milk, cheese, ice cream, salad dressings, cereal, processed foods and bread. Fructose is found in pears, wheat, onions and artichokes. It is also found in fruit juices and sodas. Sorbitol is found in prunes, apples, pears and peaches. It is an added sweetener in sugar-free gums and candies, as well as in diet foods. These sugars can cause gas in the intestines.
Another cause of a bloated stomach is flatulence which means you may have a lot of gas in your tummy. Flatulence is common. You can pass gas for 15 times a day and this is still all normal. There is no such thing as excessive flatulence. If your stomach is bloated, there are ways you can reduce the symptom. For one, you can limit intake of beans, apples, prunes, broccoli and cabbage and other foods high in non-absorbable carbohydrates. These foods release a small amount of sulfur gas in the tummy.
