Pravrajya Suruchi

Cruciferous Vegetables: These healthy veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage contain FODMAPs

Beans and Lentils: These legumes are a great source of protein and fiber, but they also contain high amounts of FODMAPs, which can cause bloating.

Dairy Products: Lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products, can cause bloating and digestive discomfort in people with lactose intolerance.

Certain Fruits: Some fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, and cherries, contain fructose, a type of sugar that can be difficult for some people to digest.

Carbonated Drinks: Fizzy drinks like soda and sparkling water contain carbon dioxide gas, which can fill your stomach and cause bloating.

Fried Foods: Fatty and greasy foods slow down the digestion process and can lead to bloating and discomfort.

Artificial Sweeteners: Sugar alcohols like sorbitol and mannitol, commonly used as sugar substitutes in sugar-free candies and chewing gum, are also FODMAPs and can contribute to bloating.
