Foods that cause flatulence
1- Processed foods
The sodium found in unhealthy packaged and processed foods, such as fast food, condiments, sauces, canned soups, deli meats, and baked goods such as bagels, bagels, and cookies, is the type to avoid.

Foods high in saturated fats include baked goods, processed meats, and cheese. High-fat foods take a little longer to digest than other foods, and because they move more slowly through the digestive tract, they can lead to bloating. Take a conservative approach when it comes to saturated fat
3- Dairy products
Dairy products in various forms — including milk, ice cream, and cheese — can lead to tummy troubles for some because of the lactose, which is the natural sugar in cow’s milk.

And if you find dairy bothers you, but you can’t give it up, try taking an enzyme supplement like Lactaid before you eat dairy to help your body break down the lactose.
4- Cruciferous vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, watercress, and Brussels sprouts—some of the healthiest foods out there, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. They can cause excess gas to build up, leading to bloating. These vegetables contain a sugar called raffinose, which can cause gas.
