What foods DON'T cause gas?

Question

and what foods do..

my tummy is so sensitive!

Answer 1

All foods are a source for gas but do not cause it. Gas is created in a number of places, by bacteria. First is the stomach, as food is broken down it can create a gas which makes you burp. The next stage is the upper and lower intestines. Within the intestines, you have bacteria which digests your waste. This also creates gas (methane). The bacteria is harmless whilst in the intestines but could be very harmful in other parts of the body. As you are referring to your stomach, it would be wise to eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This will reduce the amount of gas you produce as it is easier to digest. You could also try chewing an indigestion tablet after eating and see if that helps. Alternatively, you can eat a bit of chalk or dry, burnt toast to ease it.

i think its better for u to know, which foods cause gas, so that u can avoid them and have the rest.

Which foods cause gas?
Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gas. By contrast, fats and proteins cause little gas.
Sugars: The sugars that cause gas are raffinose, lactose, fructose and sorbitol. Raffinose is present in large amounts in beans. Smaller amounts of this complex sugar are found in cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables and whole grains. Lactose is the natural sugar in milk. It is also found in milk products, such as cheese and ice cream, and processed foods, such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing. Many people, particularly those of African, Native American, or Asian background, have low levels of the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose. Also, as people age, their enzyme levels decrease. As a result, over time people may experience increasing amounts of gas after eating food containing lactose. Fructose is naturally present in onions, artichokes, pears, and wheat. It is also used as a sweetener in some soft drinks and fruit drinks. Sorbitol is a sugar found naturally in fruits, including apples, pears, peaches and prunes. It is also used as an artificial sweetener in many dietetic foods and sugar-free candies and gums.

Starches: Most starches, including potatoes, corn, noodles and wheat, produce gas. They are broken down in the large intestine. Rice is the only starch that does not cause gas.

Fiber: Many foods contain soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves easily in water and takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestines. Found in oat bran, beans, peas and most fruits, soluble fiber is not broken down until it reaches the large intestine where digestion causes gas. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, passes essentially unchanged through the intestines and produces little gas. Wheat bran and some vegetables contain this kind of fiber
