Adolf Hitler suffered uncontrollable flatulence, yeah let's start there. His extreme diet of vegetarianism, recurring stomach problems, and reliance on quack drug pushers like Theodore Morell made his life terrible. Hitler regularly took up to 28 different drugs to restrain his farting unsuccessfully. Some pills he took included containing strychnine, a poison, which probably explains his stomach pains.

Hitler decided to swear off meat completely in 1931 after his niece Geli Raubel committed suicide. The next morning he was presented with a plate of breakfast ham and he pushed it away muttering, "It's like eating a corpse." From that moment on he was a vegetarian. He showed a particular fondness for oatmeal with linseed oil, cauliflower, cottage cheese, boiled apples, artichoke hearts and asparagus tips in white sauce. Hitler was unfazed by the irony that this high-fiber diet could of been the cause of his gassy problem.

Now don't be like Hitler, (pretty sure that's a goal for most people) at least do some research when dieting.
