10 Gas-Inducing Foods to Skip on Low-Flatulence Diet
9. Why Gas Happens
When you consume carbohydrates in the form of dietary fiber, it reaches the colon relatively intact because it is indigestible.

The more bacteria or effort required to digest the fibers and sugars, the higher chance the process will lead to flatulence.
