10 Foods That Cause Gas
Food #5: High Fructose Fruits
Fructose is a sugar found in fruit. Not all fruits have the same fructose content. Generally, the sweeter the fruit, the higher the fructose content. Unfortunately, fructose is a part of the FODMAP category as fructose is a monosaccharide that is not always well tolerated. Sweeteners such as coconut sugar, fruit juices, and fruits such as apples, cherries, mango, and watermelon can provide an unhealthy amount of fructose. Fructose causes gas because it feeds the gas-producing bacteria in your gut.
Like vegetables, fruits are rich in vitamins and minerals that are linked to preventing cancer. To avoid the effects of high fructose fruits, simply eat in moderation and incorporate low fructose fruits into the diet, such as raspberries and strawberries.
