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.
Overeating or eating foods known to contribute to bloating and gas, such as cabbage, beans, and lentils, may cause bloating. Abdominal bloating can affect the diaphragm, a muscular partition between the chest and abdomen. The diaphragm assists in breathing, which means bloating can lead to shortness of breath. This happens if the pressure in the abdomen is enough to restrict the movement of the diaphragm. Being short of breath can cause you to take small, short breaths. This can lead to swallowing air, which is known as aerophagia.
