Blackberries and raspberries, while very healthy in other ways, are quite high in sorbitol and should be eaten in moderation to avoid bad gas, bloating and possibly diarrhea with excessive consumption. Strawberries are high in fructose and have both sorbitol and fiber that can make you gassy. With their sweet taste, many people tend to rush them down as well without chewing them properly first to help digestion. With all berries, potential issues with salicylates causing intestinal distress mentioned in the section on grapes causing gas may also be relevant.
Even though berries like raspberries, blackberries and strawberries can cause gas, they are simply too healthy to recommend avoiding completely. Try eating them in smaller amounts more often, rather than all at once, to avoid them making your stomach hurt.
Despite their great taste and otherwise healthy nutritional profile, plums, peaches, apricots and other stone fruits are another potential culprit when it comes to excessive flatulence. Apricots, peaches and plums in particular have some of the highest levels of sorbitol and other gas causing sugar alcohols. Peaches are also full of fructose, though not to the same levels as grapes, pears or mangoes.
Nectarines were also shown in this laboratory analysis to have the most fructooligosaccharides of any fruit measured.
These complex sugars can aid digestive health but in large doses will easily make you fart too much. While stone fruit like nectarines, peaches and apricots can make you gassy, their mild laxative effect and high fiber means they are often recommended to help you poop. Some medical resources even encourage doctors to encourage patients to use fresh plums and apricots for constipation.
Fruits like peaches and apricots are often canned, which makes them lower in nutrition, higher in fructose and sugar alcohols, quite unhealthy and definitely a potential cause of excessive flatulence. Canned apples, pears, mango and pineapple are also very gassy foods to eat and often promote bloating, stomach cramps and even diarrhea for sensitive people.
Beyond canning fruit, there is one way of consuming it that is even more likely to cause gas and digestive problems — eating dried fruit. When fruit is dried, all of the potential gas-causing compounds discussed, like sorbitol, fructose, indigestible fiber and more are heavily concentrated and made much more difficult to break down in your digestive tract.
Dried fruit is quite difficult to digest for most people and unless you chew it really well it will probably end up being broken down with fermentation by bacteria in your colon. The worst dried fruits for gas are dried apricots, figs, plums, dates, raisins and prunes.
These products usually have very high levels of sorbitol, fructose and indigestible fiber. Some manufacturers even coat dried fruit with extra gas causing sorbitol powder for some strange reason.
This may make their product as little sweeter but it can have terrible intestinal side effects for many people. It could be argued that for a healthy digestive tract dried fruit can be a prebiotic, feeding the good bacteria in your lower intestine. But for most people looking to find out why fruits are causing gas, and other intestinal problems like bloating and cramps, dried fruits would be the first to remove from your diet in the process of elimination.
If you want to avoid gas from dried fruit then eating them with a broad spectrum digestive enzyme, like this clinical strength one I use daily , is highly recommended. Otherwise, unless you have a very healthy digestive system, dried apricots and other dehydrated fruits will make you fart later in all but the smallest amounts eaten.
My advice would be to not stop eating healthy fruits like apples, grapes, cherries and bananas, even though they may cause you some gas on occasions. Rather, try a week off from all of the gassy fruits listed here, like pineapple, pears, mangoes, bananas, strawberries, and especially problematic canned fruit and dried fruits like apricots.
Eat only that particular fruit on its own at first, in a decent amount and away from other foods, and you should be able to identify which fruits give you an upset stomach and cause the worst bloating and flatulence for you personally. These supplements break down sugar alcohols like sorbitol , indigestible fiber, flatulence causing fructose , and other problematic substances in fruits, well before they can cause intestinal problems later on. I hope this list of both gas causing fruit and non gassy alternative fruits has been helpful and would appreciate if you could share it to help others out there.
Few people know that healthy fruits can cause digestive problems, but identifying the particular fruit that causes gas for you is the first step in fixing the problem. Apricots, Peaches, Plums and Nectarines.
Canned Fruit. Some of them were so bad I surprised and disgusted myself. One in particular seemed like it was over 10 seconds long. I even woke myself up a few times at night with the loud decibels caused by my own farts! Thanks to the high fiber ratio, dried apricots can also have quite the laxative effect. So watch out for diarrhea and make sure you are close to a bathroom! Sometimes I wonder if my coworker knew this would happen when she offered me these delicious little devils?
Maybe she was mad at me for something and this was her way of taking out her revenge. Oh well, guess I will never know. If you are in the mood to fart alot eat a bag of dried apricots, cancel all your appointments and make sure you crack a window.
Otherwise, try not to eat more than a couple at a time. You can thank me later! Dried apricots contain a sugar alcohol called sorbitol that is hard to digest and can make you incredibly gassy.
Sorbitol is sometimes given to patients in the hospital as a laxative to constipated patients so that should tell you how powerful it is! Most dried apricots also contain sulfur dioxide which give them their bright orange color but can also wreak havoc on your digestive system and create massive amounts of gas. This trifecta of sorbital, sulfur dioxide, and high fiber content will turn you into a non-stop farting machine if you are not careful and eat more than a few!
This food will make you fart even more than dried apricots! Listen to this hilarious podcast episode from Jacked on the Beanstalk by vegan fitness guru Samantha Shorkey. She talks about her experience after eating a fart inducing bag of dried apricots! Male or female, young or old, eat too many and they will wreak havoc on your digestive system. Massive dried apricot induced fart Loudest Fart Ever!
Looking for more foods that will make you fart uncontrollably? Want to avoid foods that will give you flatulence? Here is a list of the gassiest foods. If on the other hand you want to fart more than you thought was humanly possible go ahead and buy a bag!
Check latest price of dried apricots on Amazon. Apricots are dangerous. Onions seem to be underrated. And they are also safe. Both raw and caramelized. Oh, god…. That evening, we were watching a movie in the dorm room. Before it started, she took a bunch of dried apricots and we ate it during the movie. I was so embarrassed but what a relief, my roomie also started farting so violently and blushed her face.
Until the end of the movie, and even until we fell asleep we cut the cheese nonstop. When I went on a trip with my bf year before last, I demolished the entire bag of dried apricots before getting on a plane.
My tummy was gurgling and rumbling so loud, and my worst stinky gas came from my butt massively again and again! I tried to hold back it, but the louder sound came out. Soon after, I finally gave up holding back the fart, and let them out constantly… I started ripping out stinky little demons running in my stomach, and each explosion, my bf giggled SO MUCH!!
Thank you for sharing this information. And I have never experienced gas like this — not even after a Taco Bell binge. I am just curious what may have cause the worst gas pains I have ever felt. The details are that I overindulged in dried apricots ate maybe 20 pieces, not sure if each was a whole apricot and later that night I didn't feel particularly full after eating them, and didn't have dinner after.
But several hours later that night I had horrible trapped gas which last at least an hour. I felt like my appendix was about to burst, and almost went to the hospital, when I realized that it was gas.
I rubbed and patted my stomach for over an hour while in extreme pain, until finally most of the gas released and I felt ok. I was just wondering if anyone has ideas about what caused such an extreme reaction?
Could it be related to that? I don't think the apricots had any added sugar And just a tip: don't eat a whole bunch of dried fruit in one sitting! See this or similar articles from other sources. I don't have much to say about why it happened, other than dried fruit has a lot of fiber which can be difficult for your body to digest.
However, if this ever happens again, I swear by this technique to resolve gas pain. I can't seem to find the website, so here are the steps 1 Lay on your back on the floor or bed floor worked best for me 2 Rub your stomach in a Z pattern.
Start on your left by your rib. Go down across your belly button to your right side. Then down to the left side near your hip, then to your right again across your lower belly. Do this a few times 5 to It supposedly follows your digestive tract movement. Rolling into the fetal position was helpful and more comfortable.
This helped me so much when I had pain where I was probably in the same level of pain as you were. In addition, with an antibiotic you should be taking a probiotic.
Take them a few hours apart so the probiotics can do their work. I've had gas after eating dried fruit in the past, but not to the extent that you did. It's because of the fibre. There are two kinds - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre is partially digested by the bacteria in your gut, which leads to gas. This kind helps smooth your BM's. Insoluble adds bulk to the BM as it's not digested. Inulin a soluble fibre is known for causing wind in a lot of people.
If you don't have a lot of fibre in your diet and then you suddenly add a load, the bacteria in your gut can't handle it as there aren't enough of them, so you get gas. Taking antibiotics might have had an effect by killing off the bacteria that would normally help handle this sudden influx of fibre.
