Prevent it from happening again
Dr. Lawrence R. Kosinski, a spokesman for the American Gastroenterological Association, says that if you’re concerned about getting gas (on a date or otherwise), you can avoid trigger foods, including beans, lentils, dairy, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, high-fiber foods like bran, whole wheat, starch-heavy foods, fruits, fructose, and the artificial sweetener sorbitol. Drinking carbonated beverages, eating too quickly, and chewing gum can cause you to swallow air, which can also lead to gas. Unfortunately, if you avoid all these things, you may end up starving to death.
