Cabbage and mushrooms are not great if you don't have a toilet nearby.

  Eh, much of the free carbohydrate content of sauerkraut has been eaten by the lactobacilli. All that gas that comes off it during fermentation doesn't smell much better than it would if you had fermented it in your colon instead, but at least it's happening at a slow rate and generally dissipates before being noticed. Now, when I had kalua pork and (fresh) cabbage on vacation in Hawaii, it was delicious - but produced effects more like what concern you. For four days (!) I was a noxious chemical factory with a seemingly limitless ability to produce airborne products that probably would qualify as weapons under the Geneva conventions. Thank God we had rented a convertible, and I do feel sorry for those who were near us on the flight back. It was at L&L, which apparently does have a significant presence on the mainland (though mostly West Coast) and a few non-US locations. Be cautious of that dish. I'm sure that if you ate it regularly, the effects would lessen (as they typically do for such things), but the adjustment period would greatly shrink your pool of people who want to be anywhere physically close to you. Never noticed any ill effects from mushrooms, but I suppose we're all different.
