The fall harvest offers a wide variety of colors in the leaves and in the fruits and vegetables available. If you find your feeling more bloated, it could be that this season's harvest is pronounced in the gaseous department.
Asparagus, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, beans, mustard and collard greens, onions, peppers, potatoes, turnips and sauerkraut are some veggies that can make you gaseous.
Berries, melon, and pears are on the list of fruits that can cause gastrointestinal distress.
Other foods include beer, carbonated beverages, chewing gum (I just can't give that one up. For me, it's stress release), eggs wheat, oatmeal and soy.
Some foods that don't seem to produce that flatulence issue are barley, carrots, celery, cottage cheese, cranberries, green beans, quinoa, rice, whey protein, tea and yogurt.
I find that my level of reaction to the first lists' varies with the day, so try them and see what works for you.
