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.
Certain foods can cause gas. Carbohydrates, such as pasta and bread, are the most gas-producing foods. High-fiber foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes can cause gas. Carbonated liquids such as soda pop and beer can cause gas. Gas can happen if youâre having other digestive issues such as constipation or diarrhea.
