How Can I Avoid Being Gassy and Bloated?
A Doctor Answers Embarrassing Medical Questions
Everyone passes gas -- an average of 13-21 times per day per person, in fact. Dr. Sheth says certain foods like broccoli, lettuce, red wine and coffee can contribute to gassiness. But if your diet is good, and you’re still gassy, you could have bacterial overgrowth (or SIBO: small intestine bacterial overgrowth). He says your doctor can do a simple test to determine if this is the case. If so, eating yogurt and taking probiotics can help.
