10 Foods That Cause Flatulence
Flatulence Causing Food #8: Onions
There are countless different dishes that have onions in them. Some of these dishes will only contain small amounts of onion, while sometimes onion can be the main ingredient. They can be very pungent, especially when being eaten raw, and they can also cause some unwelcome aromas in other ways.
Some people will have difficulty with flatulence after eating onions. This is because they contain compounds such as raffinose and fructose. As explained earlier, these will be digested by bacteria in the large intestine and this process will produce gas. When this gas is produced in the large intestine, there is only one way it can escape from the body.
