Top #26 Best Ways To Beat Bloat ~ Banish Your Belly..

#8 No More Gassy Veggies
It's unfortunate that a lot of healthy foods can cause bloating. Raffinose found in many vegetables is a indigestible carb will cause you to expand like the Michelin man. Humans don't process the enzyme needed to break down this complex carbohydrate, but the gas-producing bacteria that lives in our colon does. In the process of breaking down this carbohydrate the bacteria releases carbon dioxide, methane, and or hydrogen. Basically, the carbohydrate ferments in your colon producing gas and intestinal distress. People are effected by this in various degrees depending on each individual. Vegetables that bloat you are legumes and cruciferous vegetables that include 
1. Beans
2. Broccoli
3. Brussel Sprouts 
4. Cabbage 
5. Cauliflower 
6. Lettuce
If you enjoy eating these specific veggies and would love to continue eating them (as you should), you can supplement with a over-the-counter digestive aid such as "Beano" which contains the missing enzyme needed. This allows your body to break down the indigestible carbohydrate before those pesky, gas-producing bacteria in your gut can get a hold of it. Ergo, less or No gas. No one wants to be gassy, and especially while out around public, out to dinner or gathering where food is served.
