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.
Causes of Gas and Bloating. Bloating in the abdomen is commonly caused by gas in the intestines. One reason for too much gas is eating foods that create gas. Swallowing air while eating is often done unconsciously and may result in frequent belching during or after meals. To avoid swallowing air, slow down when eating, don't 'slurp' drinks, and don't talk while chewing.
