Do carbs make you bloat?
I once landed in the ER a few hours after eating a soft pretzel (OMG, what was I thinking?).
IV Morphine, xray, CT scan and hours later, I was admitted to the hospital. When I got up to walk to the restroom, I released the longest fart ever (20 seconds maybe - that's long!). The pain went away.
Mortifying.
White carbs are very bloaty/gassy for me, and many others.

It makes me wonder if carbs have something to do with it...but then again I don't really eat white carbs. I will have to keep a close eye on it. ~Starting Weight: 261 lbs~~Pre-Op Weight: 241 lbs~

Refined carbs break down into simple sugars as they are digested. Internally, sugars feed the fermentation process, leading to gas and bloating.
Even now, 19 months out, I find that certain carbs cause a lot of gas. The simple solution is to avoid those foods....and I steer clear of the refined stuff anyway.
Gassiness is never pleasant!

I need to stay away from that. or else. Not worth the pain, discomfort and the... smelly gas. But then most complex carbs makes me like that too.
