10 Gas-Inducing Foods to Skip on Low-Flatulence Diet

7. Stop the Starches

Rice is the only starchy food that does not cause gas. All other starches produce great volumes of gas as the bacteria break them down in the intestines. Starchy foods include potatoes, corn, noodles, and wheat. Fructose is prominent in wheat, and lactose is in packaged foods such as bread, cereal, and salad dressing. If you must include whole grains and bran in your diet, add them slowly to help reduce their gas-forming potential.
