Starches. Most starches, including potatoes, corn, pasta, and wheat, produce gas as they are broken down in the large intestine. Rice is the only starch that does not cause gas. Fiber. Many foods contain soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves easily in water and takes on a soft, gel-like texture in the intestines.
Reduce fiber-rich foods that cause gas. Beans and cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower contain fiber and sugars that are harder for your body to digest. This can lead to excess bloating and gas. Eat only a 1/2-cup serving of one of these foods at a time.
