• Foods that increase gas production include any with poorly digestible carbohydrates (for example, dietary fiber such as in baked beans and cabbage), certain sugars (such as fructose), lactose-containing foods (such as milk), or sugar alcohols (such as sorbitol ), and fats. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Many people cannot digest the sugar lactose (a condition called lactose intolerance), which is in milk and other dairy products. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Lactase breaks down lactose, a disaccharide, into simple sugars. (bioptimizers.com)
  • Carbohydrates may be classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides or polysaccharides depending on the number of monomer (sugar) units they contain. (wikipedia.org)
  • Monosaccharides contain one sugar unit, disaccharides two, and polysaccharides three or more. (wikipedia.org)
  • Isomalt may prove upsetting to the intestinal tract because it is incompletely absorbed in the small intestine, and when polyols pass into the large intestine, they can cause osmotically induced diarrhea and stimulate the gut flora, causing flatulence. (openfoodfacts.org)
  • However, there are rare reports of gas explosion during intestinal surgery and colonoscopy when electrical cautery was used in people whose bowels were incompletely cleaned out before the procedure. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Polysaccharides, which include starch and glycogen, are often referred to as 'complex' carbohydrates because they are typically long multiple-branched chains of sugar units. (wikipedia.org)
  • Healthy use would be a social drink or two with preparation before and balance after in terms of hydration (alcohol is dehydrating) with water and the right nutrients. (totalhealthmagazine.com)
  • The main problem with digestive issues is nutrient deficiency since the gut can't properly digest, assimilate, and absorb nutrients. (bioptimizers.com)
  • Digestive enzymes break down food and nutrients into smaller molecules we can absorb. (bioptimizers.com)
  • The small amount of air that does pass into the intestines is mostly absorbed into the bloodstream and very little is passed as flatus. (msdmanuals.com)
