Bloating (flatulence) occurs as a result of the penetration of too much gas into the gastrointestinal tract. And often this happens due to some foods.

What foods are recommended for people with flatulence to avoid?

It is advisable to abandon wheatgrass and broccoli, which can provoke the formation of an additional amount of gas. Other vegetables like carrots may be a preferable alternative.

According to Express, some popular side dishes (sprouts, parsnips, cauliflower, broccoli, beans) contain fructose, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols - sugars that are very difficult to digest and ferment with our intestinal bacteria. All these substances provoke flatulence, so it is also advisable to avoid them.

By the way, onions also contain a high level of such sugars, so it can cause exacerbation of bloating.
