10 Foods That Do Not Cause Gas
Food That Does Not Cause Gas #2: Cucumber
Cucumber is a plant of the gourd family that is cultivated as a vegetable. Cucumber contains about 95 percent water and supplies some essential nutrients. The most notable nutrient is vitamin K, which provides about 16 percent of the recommended daily value (for every 100 grams of cucumber).
Cucumbers also contain a flavonoid known as quercetin, which helps to fight against inflammatory free radicals, supports a healthy immune response, and reduces allergic reaction. Cucumber benefits those who experience abdominal bloating as it helps decrease gastrointestinal swelling. Drinking cucumber water or eating it can also help balance sodium levels, release trapped gas, and flush excess water from the system.
