What Is Flatulence?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Diet
Perhaps the most common cause of flatulence is your diet, and one of the biggest culprits is a high fiber diet. There is a typical comedic setting where somebody has bad wind after eating beans, and there is a lot of truth in this, because beans are high in fiber content.
Vegetables are also known for causing flatulence, particularly brussel sprouts, cabbage, leeks, and lentils. Thus, if you do suffer from flatulence then it is a good idea to have a look at what you are eating. You don’t necessarily have to cut out your favorite foods altogether; just cutting down could help to make all the difference.
