Berries, citrus fruits, and bananas are generally good choices for those experiencing gas problems. These fruits are easier to tolerate and less likely to cause gas.
Many fruits can cause gas because they contain fructose, a type of sugar that can be difficult for some people to digest. However, some fruits are lower in fructose and/or contain beneficial components that can aid digestion and reduce gas production.
Here's a breakdown based on the reference provided:
-
Berries and Citrus Fruits: According to the reference, berries and citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, are lower in fructose, making them easier to tolerate and less likely to cause gas.
