10 Foods That Cause Flatulence
Flatulence Causing Food #6: Lentils
Lentils are a staple food for many people on the Indian subcontinent. They are also quite popular elsewhere in the world, particularly among people that wish to eat healthy diets. They are popular partly for their high nutrition content as they are a good source of fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals.
Lentils also contain a type of carbohydrate that can be difficult to break down, leading to bloating and more than usual gas being produced. People experiencing difficulties with lentils may find that they have fewer problems with lighter colored lentils. Soaking them overnight may also reduce the amount of gas they cause.
