Replacing carbonated beverages with juices or water can help prevent gas and empty calories.

Flatulent foods

You are probably familiar with the feeling of fullness and gas after a large meal. There are  flatulent foods that make it worse.

While a bloated stomach is not a serious problem, it is uncomfortable and can even lead to a bad mood by making you uncomfortable. 
In this article, you will learn more about foods that cause gas so that you can avoid them or eat them in small amounts in the future. Often times, when you eat unhealthily, you experience a buildup of gas and pain in your stomach.

Flatulent foods

  • Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage are known to cause gas and gas. If this is the case for you, you should avoid these foods in the future.
  • Consuming too much salt can also cause gas and stomach pain. Therefore, reduce your salt consumption, especially if you also suffer from high blood pressure.
  • Beans can also cause digestive problems and abdominal pain. However, this does not apply to all people.
  • If you are lactose intolerant or have not consumed dairy products for a long time, it can lead to abdominal pain and gas, or colic and diarrhea. If you are lactose intolerant, it is important to consult a specialist. The discomfort can be great if no treatment is given.
  • Carbonated sweet drinks are not only unhealthy because of their high sugar content and high number of calories, but can also lead to flatulence and gas. That is why we advise you to drink only water.
  • Fried foods are also on the list of foods that can puff your stomach. These are difficult to digest, so they stay in the stomach and intestines for long periods of time and can cause gas.
  • Chewing gum can also cause gas. This is because a lot of air is swallowed when chewing, which can create gases in the stomach.

Soft drink

Try to sit quietly at the table and eat slowly to avoid indigestion. Take your time and chew the food well, because as you probably know, digestion begins in the mouth.

Slow digestion causes the food inside our body to ferment and this can lead to gas or constipation.

If you have gas only with certain foods, don’t worry. But if there are other symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, etc. in addition to the flatulence and gases, you should consult a doctor.
