Common Gas Culprits:

1) Nut Milks

A great deal of supermarket varieties of almond milk contain the thickening agent carrageenan, which is derived from seaweed and has been linked to gastrointestinal issues such as ulcers. (Homemade almond milk is your bloating’s best friend choice. Find the recipe here).

2) Onions

Many people have trouble digesting onions, especially when eaten raw. Eating onions causes the formation of gas in your digestive tract, which can make you belch, bloat, feel discomfort in your stomach, and have flatulence. To limit this, enjoy smaller quantities of well-cooked onions or substitute with spices or herbs such as asafoetida, and the green part of the spring onion to add flavor to dishes.

3) Muesli Bars

Many common “healthy” snack bars include protein isolate, which is derived from soybeans, a common gas-inducing culprit. Read the label to ensure any protein you are getting from these bars comes from the nuts/seeds themselves, not soy-derived ingredients. 

4) Lentils

Lentils contain high levels of fibre, indigestible sugars called oligosaccharides and phytic acid which may lead to bloating. Soaking lentils in plenty of cold water with some added lemon juice or vinegar overnight could significantly reduce their phytate levels, helping to lower their potential for bloating. Once the lentils have been soaked, rinse them thoroughly with filtered water before cooking them well...
