Apples

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but not the bloat. Apples are actually high in fiber and also have fructose and sorbitol – sugars that many people don’t handle well.

Broccoli

Commonly thought of as a super food, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables contain raffinose, a sugar that when combined with your gut bacteria will ferment releasing gases and creating bloating.

 

pic-water

Carbonated Water

While healthier than sugar-loaded soda, some of those carbonated bubbles you swallow will end up passing through your system and can leave you feeling bloated.
