5. Gluten Intolerance
Some people have problems with a protein known as gluten. It is found in grains like wheat and barley, and eating it can cause symptoms like abdomen pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and flatulence. Some people have celiac disease, which is an autoimmune condition that is triggered by gluten in the digestive system.
Other people have a condition known as lactose intolerance. Lactose is a type of sugar that is found in cow’s milk, and some people lack the necessary enzyme to digest it. Thus, eating dairy products can cause problems for people that are lactose intolerant, causing symptoms that include flatulence.
