12 Foods That Cause Bloating, According To Nutritionists
Your salad is not as innocent as it looks.
Sometimes stomach bloat can be easily traced back to that huge-ass brunch you had with your BFFs. But other times, it’s a complete mystery.
“One person's poison is another person's medicine. What one person's gut tolerates can vary to the next,” says Kelly Schmidt, RD.
In fact, bloating can happen even if you're all about the salads and healthy snacks. So it's important to know that you shouldn't avoid super-healthy foods just because they make you bloated.
The key is to eat these foods strategically, says Cynthia Sass, RD, and author of Slim Down Now: Shed Pounds and Inches with Real Food, Real Fast. As in, you may want to avoid potential bloaters if you know you're going to give a presentation at work, but definitely don't nix nutrient-rich foods from your diet altogether. (Especially since bloating generally resolves itself by morning.)
Curious what your culprits may be? These are some of the most common foods that cause bloating.
