4. Wheat
Depending on who you ask, wheat is either beneficial for your diet or a no-go. That’s because it contains gluten, but even so, millions of people still eat wheat as it is contained in pasta, tortillas, pizzas, baked goods and, of course, bread! You’ll also find wheat in biscuits, cakes, waffles, and pancakes.
To put it simply, you could eat wheat during every meal which could explain why you feel so bloated.
It’s even worse for those who have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For them, symptoms can range from stomach pain to bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
The controversy around wheat has given way to many gluten-free alternatives such as quinoa, buckwheat, almond flour, coconut flour, and pure oats. Try them instead and check if you still feel bloated after you eat!
5. Broccoli and Other Cruciferous Vegetables
Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli… these are all cruciferous vegetables, part of the cruciferous vegetable family. Normally, these are healthy additions to anyone’s diet thanks to their fibers, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, potassium, and iron.
Like beans and lentils, they also contain FODMAPs. It is a little easier to ensure that your vegetables won’t make you feel uncomfortable after you eat, however. All you have to do is cook them!
When cooked, these are easier to digest but if this doesn’t help, try spinach, lettuce, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, or zucchini instead.
