However, there are some factors — and foods — that can cause it to happen more than usual. “It is true that certain food items are known to be more gas-forming. However, not all foods are created equal when it comes to gas,” says Nicole Herrmann, MS, RD, clinical nutrition manager at Sharp Coronado Hospital. “Some foods that cause gas and bloating for some people don’t affect others, and vice versa. Other things that can elicit gas include eating too fast, drinking through a straw and carbonation.” Although you’ll never live gas-free — the average person passes gas 13 to 20 times per day — you may want to decrease your intake of trigger foods.
Most people find seven days is long enough, but if it feels good, there's nothing to say you can't continue detoxing for twenty or even thirty...

Beans include both the sugar and the fiber found in trigger fruits and vegetables, meaning they pack an extra punch to the lower intestine. But don’t pass on beans because you’re worried about passing gas. Beans are a great source of protein, as well as heart- and bowel-healthy fiber. Instead of avoiding legumes, remember to keep portions appropriate. Too much of a good thing can sometimes not be ideal for you or your body. If beans seem to cause excess gas, try to stick to smaller portion sizes, and do not pair them with other gas-forming vegetables (listed above). Sodas and carbonated drinks No surprise here: what goes in, must come out. Carbonated beverages — especially sugary ones — can lead to bloating, burping and flatulence. And the way you consume soda and other beverages can also make a difference. When you drink from a straw, it can introduce more air into your stomach than sipping it straight from a cup. While gas is normal, there are more serious sources of excess gas. If you think you may have a digestive disorder, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, be sure to speak with your doctor. “It is always recommended to speak with your doctor if you have concerns regarding your digestive health. You can also discuss the benefit of a referral to see a dietitian,” says Herrmann.
