6. Beans and Legumes
Beans and legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and kidney beans are infamous for creating gas during digestion. They contain oligosaccharides, which the body finds very difficult to break down, leading to extra gas building up. This can cause pain and discomfort for those with diverticulitis. Unfortunately, all beans have this effect, so there is no direct substitute. For protein, try white meat like chicken and fish.
