    It stopped for me after a while of eating it everyday.

    yes totally normal. Beano may help, and if you are eating it raw, you may want to lightly steam, that can take away some of the gas.

    I've never really noticed that. Not saying that it doesn't happen, I guess I've just never paid attention. Broccoli is on the menu for me tonight, so I'm going to see....

    Back in the day we had 'gas wars.' The most potent combo ever unleashed was uncooked broccoli, hard boiled eggs, cooked asparagus, and radish slices all washed down with cheap beer. A steady diet of that for a week could clear a small town for the smell.
