Believe it or not, everyone faces this problem. It’s *that* universal and common. But what’s the cause? Which food triggers it the most? Time to find out!

What exactly is bloating? Well, in simpler words bloating is when one feels fuller and tighter around the lower abdomen. This can lead to slight discomfort or pain as well. So the question is, which foods trigger it the most?*

1. Dairy products

This variable may apply to mostly lactose intolerant patients. When the body produces enough lactase enzymes, it does not fully digest dairy products, such as milk, tea, yoghurt, and more. As a result, bloating will occur.

So what to do?

The best you can do is to replace dairy products with non-dairy alternatives like lactose-free milk such as almond or soy milk. They will lower the bloating intensity and you can enjoy yoghurt, teas and ice-creams too!

2. Beans

Yes, you read that right! Those delicious chaats can make you uncomfortable too. At times, our body has a hard time breaking down food and causes troubled digestion.

Are there any alternatives?

Of course, there are! Replace beans with lentils (daal, in the shape of halwa or a tarkay wali daal) and quinoa. Also, here’s a tip: leave the beans in water for the night and then cook them the next day. This will reduce the chances of bloating.

3. Wheat

The gluten present in wheat and wheat products can also lead to bloating, abdominal pain and more. This type of protein is mainly found in rice, bread, pasta, chappatis, etc.
