Food Intolerances May Be the Hidden Culprit
Food intolerances are another major contributor to bloating and intestinal gas.
Some individuals have difficulty digesting substances such as:
- Lactose found in dairy products
- Fructose found in certain fruits and sweeteners
- Gluten found in wheat-based products
When these substances are not fully digested, they continue into the intestines where bacteria ferment them, producing excess gas and discomfort.
Many people live with mild food intolerances for years without realizing the connection between their symptoms and specific foods.
