Bloating Causing Food #7: Cruciferous Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts among others belong in the cruciferous family. These are great vegetables which are rich in many important nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin K, minerals like potassium, and fiber. But eating large amounts of these vegetables at once, especially when raw, can cause bloating.
The high fiber content in cruciferous vegetables improves digestion and overall health. But because the digestive system of human beings cannot digest fiber, this means that they pass through the stomach and the small intestines. When they get into the large intestines, bacteria found there feed on them. This is a process that leads to production of lots of gas which can cause bloating.
