Eat fresh garlic every day. Garlic is a lot like ginger as it seems to be limitless in benefits. Garlic is an antitoxidant, a anticoagulant, helps lower blood pressure, helps lower cholesterol, fights allergies, arthritus, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmia, viral infections, yeast infections, wards off bugs and people too... LOL. You may not want to ward off people but hey you gotta take the bad with the good. Then again maybe it's one of those days when you need your space.
I use fresh garlic because the garlic powder gives me unbearable bloating and flatulence. To help curb the flatulence I use basil when I use garlic. Dill, peppermint, sage, thyme, allspice, cloves and a carrott may also help curb the untimely release of excess air from the intestines. I'm just reading that fennel tea also helps curb bloating, flatulence and stomach pain. altmedicine
Of course there's always Beano which I have never used. You kind of get the double wammy when you use garlic with beans but that's how I cook. Here's another interesting and gassy website with tips on this subject for you to check out. tips of all sorts
