Billy consumed the following foods at lunch: A hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and catsup on a bun; broccoli salad, potato chips, and a glass of iced tea. Later that afternoon Billy began to experience intestinal gas. Which food was most likely responsible for the gas production?
broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable which contains raffinose — a sugar that remains undigested until the bacteria in your gut ferments it, which produces gas and, in turn, makes you bloat.
