4. Foods That Cause Excess Gas
Foods that are high in fiber, like legumes, vegetables, fruits and whole grains, tend to cause gas and some may cause excess gas. Although these foods are considered healthy, a person with food intolerances or IBS may temporarily need to remove them from the diet, until he/she is able to tolerate them again.
Foods containing a lot of fiber also assist in regulating cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Consult your doctor or nutritionist before making any serious changes to your diet.
