There are a couple things you can do. First, build up your fiber intake prior to the cook off so your body is ready for the increased amount of fiber on chilli day. Then, start eating ginger or drinking gingerale prior to eating all that chilli. Ginger helps defuse the effects of beans and typically works best when you put it in with your beans. Since you won't be able to flavor the entries, just have it on the side and it should still work. Beano is also supposed to work but it didn't for me. Good luck and have fun.

Try two things:
1. Beano or any other anti-gas over-the-counter remedy.
2. About 2 weeks before the event begin to eat beans of all kinds each day. Your body will become accustomed to the proteins and be able to process them less, well, aromatically.

Chili is one of the worst offenders for gas production. The pepper, beans, meats and heavy sauces... Ripe! Try taking Bean-o, Tums (Extra-strength), Rolaids or any OTC remedy for gas and indigestion. Be advised, there are no guarantees! If you feel the need to release, make sure you're not around anyone and hopefully downwind.

Take some charcoal beforehand, it will neutralise the gases in your stomach. Good luck
