10 Foods That Cause Gas
Food #3: Sodas
Sodas and carbonated water can cause gas. This is because these drinks can add significantly to the amount of air you swallow. When air gets into your digestive tract, it passes through the mouth or the rectum. This causes burping and gas. In addition, soda is very high in added sugars, which can also cause gas. In fact, a single 12 oz. can of Coke contains 33 grams of sugar. This large amount of sugar could easily lead to bloating and gas. Diet soda can help ease the effects; however, diet sodas still contain carbon dioxide.
To avoid this, swap soda for tea or water without carbonation. This can help reduce gas.
