Common foods that can cause gas

Common foods and beverages that can cause gas include:

Broccoli

Wheat Garlic

Onions

Garlic

Dairy-products

Fizzy drinks

Fatty foods

Soaking beans overnight may help reduce gas associated with beans.

Whole grains: Wheat and oats contain fiber, raffinose, and starch, all of which are broken down by bacteria in the large intestine, leading to gas.??

Interestingly, rice is the only grain that doesn’t cause gas.

Certain vegetables: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, asparagus, and cauliflower are known to cause excess gas. Like beans, these vegetables also contain raffinose.?

While they are healthy foods, consider discussing with your doctor before eliminating them from your diet

Dairy products: Lactose, found in milk and most dairy products, can lead to increased gas. People with?lactose intolerance?have difficulty digesting lactose.?

?Consider trying non-dairy alternative like almond milk or soy or take a lactase tablet before consuming foods with lactose.

?Sodas: Carbonated drinks like sodas can significantly increase the amount of air you swallow, leading to burping and increased gas.? Opt for non-carbonated alternative like juice, tea, or water

Thank you?…. Remember that everyone’s body reacts differently, so if you make changes to your diet, avoid the foods that you personally react to the most.?

As people eat or drink, they tend to swallow a bit of air. The body?releases this air as a burp, or the air may make its way to the intestines, where it eventually leaves the body as a fart.

Farting is also a sign of natural activity in the digestive system. The bacteria in the gut create different gases as they break down foods, and the body releases these gases as a fart.

Dietary changes

People may notice they fart more after making changes to their diet. Changes could include:

Eating a vegetarian or vegan diet

New foods.

In these cases, any digestive disturbances — including?nausea,?upset stomach and?constipation or diarrhea?— should settle down as the body adjusts to the new diet.

If it does not settle down, this may indicate the new eating pattern is triggering a food intolerance.

Self-treatment:?Self- care steps that may be helpful in some less- serious

Do you want to add a word or two?

How much gas is too much?

Truth be told, passing gas happens a lot more than you think. On average, it’s normal to fart between 14 and 23 times throughout your day, often without attracting much notice.?For most people, it’s not a major problem. But if you find yourself consistently farting in an excessive manner — or if it comes with any sensation of pain — you should consult a doctor.

What can cause more-than-normal flatulence?

Hard-to-digest foods.?Many a playground has been graced with the children’s anthem “Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart/the more you eat the more you fart.”

Whoever the gifted songwriter was, they had a point: certain foods are a guaranteed ticket to Funkytown.

?In addition to beans, you may want to moderate your consumption of the following:

Dairy products like cow’s milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream and coffee creamers.

Corn and potatoes.

Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage.

High-sulfur foods like onions, garlic and leeks.

Your Comments …..

Gas is a normal part of life and a natural byproduct of a healthy digestive system. The gas in your body must come out, otherwise you would pop like an over-filled balloon.

Most people fart between?14 and 23 times per day. That may sound like a lot, but most?farts?are odorless and relatively undetectable. It’s common for people to feel as though they fart more than others, but that’s usually untrue.Most of the gas you pass is swallowed air.

You swallow air throughout the day while eating and drinking. Other gases are produced in your digestive tract as the food you eat is broken down.

Farts are primarily made of odorless vapors like carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and sometimes methane.

Although gas is a normal part of life, it can be inconvenient. You can’t stop farting completely, but there are ways to reduce the amount of gas in your system.
