Sometimes, your body just can’t handle certain foods. Lactose is a classic villain. If you’re missing the enzyme lactase, milk becomes a gas bomb. Your gut tries to digest it, fails, and lets the bacteria finish the job. The result? A symphony of toots and a round belly.
Then there’s gluten. For some people, it’s fine. For others (even without celiac disease), it’s a trigger. The gluten protein can cause inflammation and gas. It’s not about being “gluten-free” as a trend; it’s about listening to your belly’s tantrums.
Don’t forget FODMAPs. That’s a mouthful of an acronym. They’re small carbs that some people can’t absorb well. Onions, garlic, apples, wheat? They can all be tiny attackers. Remove them for a week, and your bloating might vanish like a ghost.
