A cruciferous vegetables list may be helpful to eliminate the gas and bloating they may cause, but only in a very small percentage of people (about 5%). Cruciferous vegetables contain a specific sugar that may be hard to digest for this small part of the population.
A cruciferous vegetables list is necessary for some people who have problems with symptoms they can cause. Cruciferous vegetables aren’t well known gas-causing foods for everyone. And many people avoid them as they mistakenly believe if others complain about cruciferous vegetables, then they also will have a problem with them. No need to avoid them unless you have proven to yourself they are problematic for you.
The reason cruciferous vegetables cause a small percentage of people gastrointestinal problems is because of a specific sugar called raffinose. Raffinose is also found in beans (legumes) and we all know that for many, beans can also cause gas and bloating.
In people who have trouble digesting raffinose in the small intestine, this sugar travels to the large intestine where the bacteria that live there ferment the sugar and this process is what causes the gas, bloating and other discomfort. The fermentation should have been accomplished by other bacteria living in the small intestine, not the large intestine.
