Bloating Causing Food #2: Beans

Beans are a great source of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and fiber. However, beans are also notorious as foods that cause bloating. One reason for this is the high fiber content. Because the human body is not designed to digest fiber, taking too much of it means that it will move from the stomach, through the small intestines and into the large intestines.

Once they get here, bacteria feed on the fiber, breaking them down into various components including lots of gas. This causes bloating and rumbling within the abdomen. You can lower bloating caused by beans by soaking them for several hours or overnight before cooking. You can also choose easier to digest beans like mung, adzuki and quinoa.
