What foods cause gas?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The friendly bacteria in our guts help digest foods that our bodies have trouble breaking down. These bacteria also produce gas, usually as they digest food in the large intestines. Foods most often linked to intestinal gas include:
Beans and lentils Asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and other vegetables Fructose, a natural sugar found in artichokes, onions, pears, wheat, and some soft drinks Lactose, the natural sugar found in milk Fruits, oat bran, peas, and other foods high in soluble fiber, which gets digested in your large intestine Corn, pasta, potatoes, and other foods rich in starch Sorbitol, the artificial sweetener Whole grains, such as brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat.

View allI'm having some gas issues lately and after I work out, I've been getting this pinpoint pain on the left side of my chest. It first happened a couple of weeks ago and again yesterday. The pain wasn't super strong, but it was there, and I also had some trouble breathing and felt a bit nauseous. What could be going on?
it might be gastritis, take tablet pantoprazole once daily for 5 days

My wife has been dealing with water-like loose motions since yesterday. She tried pudin hara last night, which helped her sleep, but this morning, she's been to the loo four more times. She's been drinking Electrol to stay hydrated. Theres no pain, but should we be doing something more?
-It sounds like your wife is dealing with a mild case of diarrhea, but since she's staying hydrated with Electrol and doesn't have pain, she should hopefully recover soon. If it continues for more than 48 hours, it might be a good idea to consult a doctor

I've been having this issue for the last 45 days with these excessive and weird burps, and there's a small pain just below my ribs. I've been taking rabcer20 morning and night for the past couple of days before eating, and it provides some relief, but these burps are still happening. On the first day, I even threw up at night shortly after eating. Any idea what's going on? It also feels like there's a little gas bubble just below my ribs, and I can't sit comfortably, especially after meals or even just drinking water. There's also a lot of bloating, and my stomach feels really full and heavy right after eating or drinking. Could it be anything related to my appendicitis surgery that I had when I was 16? I'm 28 years old and male. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or acid reflux. I recommend you try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) after meals to help relieve gas bloating. It's important to avoid spicy and acidic foods, as well as eating large meals close to bedtime. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
