10 Foods That Cause Gas
Food #6: Wheat
Wheat has been very controversial over the past few years. So controversial that many people have adopted gluten-free diets to avoid wheat altogether. Despite the several individuals who have decided to eliminate it from their diet, many people still consume wheat. We see wheat in many popular food items such as pizza, tortillas, pastas, baked goods, and even soy sauce. For people with celiac disease, even trace amounts of gluten can cause severe gastrointestinal damage.
Wheat is a major source of fart fuel. It contains fiber, raffinose, starch, and lectins. Lectins in grains have been linked to causing gas as well as inflammation and gut damage.
