10 Foods That Cause Bloating
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Bloating Causing Food #3: Alcohol
Alcohol causes inflammation within the lining of the digestive system. This in itself can lead to discomfort and bloating. But alcohol also contains other substances that may lead to bloating. These include yeast, wheat and barley. Yeast can cause an imbalance within the gut by feeding on beneficial bacteria. This can adversely affect digestion and lead to bloating.
On the other hand, food materials like wheat and barley are fermentable. This means that they can start fermenting within the digestive system which can lead to production of excess gas and bloating. Beer is especially culpable in this sense. Therefore, if you have to drink alcohol, wine or spirits are better alternatives.
