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.
Some carbohydrates in food can't be digested and absorbed by the intestines. These pass down into your colon to be broken down by bacteria, producing gas, which is released as flatulence. Foods containing a lot of unrefined cereal fibre, such as bran, can also sometimes cause problems with wind and bloating. Other foods and drinks that contain a sweetener called sorbitol (such as sugar-free gum or slimming products) or a type of sugar called fructose (such as fruit juice) can also cause flatulence. This means chewing sugar-free gum can cause flatulence from both the sweetener and swallowing air. Certain foods, such as cabbage or onions, can lead to the production of gases containing sulphur, which can result in foul-smelling wind.
