Carbs can cause stomach pain and bloating because some people have trouble digesting them, leading to gas and discomfort.
Carbohydrates, especially certain types like FODMAPs, can cause stomach pain and bloating in some people. FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that are not well absorbed in the small intestine. When they reach the large intestine, they are fermented by bacteria, which produces gas and can lead to bloating and discomfort.
Key Points:
Understanding how different carbs affect your body can help manage and reduce symptoms of bloating and stomach pain. It may be helpful to keep track of what you eat and how it makes you feel to identify problem foods.
