6. Barley
Barley is a cereal grain that contains loads of fiber and vitamins and minerals like molybdenum, manganese and selenium. It is the fiber and gluten found in barley that can cause bloating and gas.
Barley Alternatives: Refined barley, like pearl or scotch barley, may be tolerated better. Barley can also be replaced with other grains or pseudocereals like oats, brown rice, quinoa or buckwheat.
7. Rye
Rye is another cereal grain that is closely related to both wheat and barley. It contains high amounts of fiber, manganese, phosphorus, copper and B-vitamins. It also contains gluten.
Like with rye, it is the fiber and gluten that can cause bloating.
Rye Alternatives: Other grains including oats, brown rice, buckwheat or quinoa.
8. Dairy
Dairy products include milk, cheese, yogurt and butter to name a few. They are well loved but about 75 percent of the public can’t process them. The issue is a sugar found in dairy called lactose and people who can’t processes it have lactose intolerance. This causes bloating and gas.
Dairy Alternatives: Coconut, almond, soy or rice milk are good alternatives to dairy. Coconut milk is tops on my list.
9. Garlic
Garlic is fantastic in food and as a health remedy. I personally love garlic and will eat it raw. However, like with onions, the fructans in garlic can give some digestive issues. Cooking the garlic will reduce the body’s reaction to it, but that will not work for everyone.
Garlic Alternatives: Herbs and spices in your cooking, such as thyme, parsley, chives or basil will help food taste almost as good.
10. Beer
Yes. It is true that beer will cause bloating. It is actually a double threat. Beer is carbonated and contains fermentable carbs like barley, maize, wheat and rice, along with some yeast and water. The carbonation and grains work together to create one big digestive problem. Beer also has gluten.
What to Drink: Again, water is the way to go. If one must drink beer, only in moderation.
If cutting these foods from one’s diet has not reduced bloating, it is time to consult with a doctor. As we stated in the beginning of the article, bloating could be a sign of a serious medical condition.
