Surprisingly, these healthy foods might be to blame.
Have you been eating clean only to find that you’ve woken up with a pot belly overnight? While you can take comfort in knowing it is not due to weight gain, your bloated stomach is enough to start your day on a bad note when you feel sluggish, heavy and uncomfortable. Who would have guessed that lurking behind some of the healthiest foods are substances your body struggles to digest? Consider avoiding these foods.
GARLIC AND ONIONS
Both popular ingredients in cooking, garlic and onions contain a fibre known as fructan that your small intestine cannot digest. This leads to increased gas production in your body that can cause serious bloating.
CORN
During the occasional fast-food cheat day, swopping fries for a side of corn may seem like a good idea. However, each kernel’s external coating contains high levels of cellulose, a fibre the human stomach cannot break down. Eating too much of it can cause you to feel bloated.
