Everyone has too much gas and air in their stomachs. A bloated stomach is quite normal, and yet it is uncomfortable, especially when pain is added. What ten foods cause flatulence.
1 / 10Beans are one of the classic and best-known foods that cause flatulence - whether in salads, soups or in the popular chili con carne. Their relatively high proportion of indigestible carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides reaches the large intestine undigested, where the intestinal bacteria try to break them down by producing carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen. © Dar1930/Imago2 / 10Peas are also legumes, which contain indigestible carbohydrates, the oligosaccharides, and can thus lead to unpleasant digestive problems such as flatulence and flatulence. © Design Pics/Imago3 / 10A lentil stew is something fine for many, and yet it can lead to annoying complaints, such as a bloated belly, after eating it. © Westend61/Imago4 / 10It is true that broccoli is considered to be the vegetable that fends off free radicals through its secondary plant substance sulphoraphane and can thus inhibit the natural aging process of the cells in the skin. At the same time, the consumption of broccoli can lead to digestive gases in the intestines of many people, which bloat the abdomen and often come off as unpleasant airs. © Alex9500/Imago5 / 10All cabbage vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, are full of vitamins, but after eating, their digestion can cause frequent gases and thus flatulence, which can sometimes be painful. If Brussels sprouts are seasoned with caraway, anise, cardamom, ginger or fennel, they can be easier to digest. © Nadja Schwarzwäller6 / 10The fibres contained in cauliflower cannot be properly digested in the intestine, so that the slow decomposition by the intestinal bacteria results in gases, flatulence and therefore flatulence combined with pain. If you freeze your cauliflower a day before cooking, you can prevent digestive problems associated with eating it. A preparation with fennel or cumin can also help to avoid flatulence. © ernesto007/Imago7 / 10Milk and dairy products are less digestible in some people, which can lead to flatulence. Anyone who suffers from abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation or nausea in addition to a bloated stomach should be examined for lactose intolerance or allergy to milk. However, an illness does not always have to be behind the reaction to dairy products - a high fat content can also be the cause of digestive problems. © Zoonar.com/monticello/Imago

My area8 / 10Eggs and egg-containing foods also stimulate the formation of gases in the intestine. The reason for this is that eggs contain a lot of protein and a certain sulfur group. Therefore, people who develop flatulence after eating eggs should reduce indulgence. © Wavebreak Media LTD/Imago9/10Foods high in sugar, as well as sugar-free sweeteners such as sorbitol, mannitol and xylitol, can make digestion in the intestines more difficult. © inad83/Imago10 / 10Fresh fruit and vegetables should be regularly on the menu and yet they can also lead to flatulence, especially if they are distorted unripe or raw. © monticello/Imago
If your stomach literally feels like a risen yeast dough after eating, you may have eaten something that causes flatulence. An average of 15 outgoing airs per day is normal, according to experts. But if the bloated abdomen is still associated with pain and possibly diarrhea or constipation, certain foods can be the cause. In severe cases, for example, an allergy or intolerance is the cause, but it does not always have to be due to a serious illness.
According to the individual intestinal flora, simply eating certain foods causes flatulence in the abdomen. The most obvious for symptoms are cabbage vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, as well as legumes such as beans, peas and lentils. But fatty foods, dairy products and eggs can also cause the unpleasant gases in the intestine.
