10. Apples
Nutritious and delicious, apples are the most popular fruits around the globe. They offer us fiber, antioxidants, Vitamin C on top of being linked to a plethora of health benefits. It’s no wonder they say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
The culprit behind apples causing us to bloat? Fructose, a FODMAP, though the fibers also don’t help…
These end up fermenting in the large intestine, causing gas to form, which results in bloating. You can opt for other fruits for a healthy snack such as blueberries, bananas, mandarins, grapefruit, oranges, or strawberries. But if you want to keep eating apples, consider cooking them instead of eating them fresh.
11. Garlic
Garlic can turn any simple dish into a masterpiece by adding flavor and offering us health benefits. Plenty of cultures around the world rely on garlic for at-home remedies. But, like onions, it contains fructans that can cause bloating.
If you feel bad after eating a dish with garlic you may not be aware of it, but you could have an allergy or intolerance to other compounds found in it.
It’s always best to cook garlic in order to offset its negative effects on your digestive system. But, you could also use other herbs and spices to help elevate your dish. Consider using chives, basil, thyme, and parsley.
