And taking your sweet time to chew gives your body more of an opportunity to digest the fiber-packed snack. Pears As part of a healthy diet, pears get a thumbs way up because they contain pectin, a type of soluble fiber that helps lower cholesterol and keeps you full. Unfortunately, pears also contain a small amount of sorbitol, a sugar alcohol that can occur naturally and is also added into things like chewing gum.
And while a little bit of this type of sugar can be helpful for keeping your digestive system moving, some people might experience serious bloating—even from just a small amount of it. Since sorbitol is absorbed more slowly into the small intestine than other varieties of sugar, it can pass into your colon, where it ferments—which can cause bloating, gas, and cramps in some people.
Unfortunately, there's no way to reduce the effects of this sugar alcohol other than to avoid it. However, exercise will move that gas through your bod and reduce the bloating. But in addition to their fun factor and delicious taste, cherries—along with grapes, mangos, and pineapple—contain a lot of, you guessed it, sugar.
Occasionally, some of that sugar doesn't get completely absorbed in the small intestine—so it ends up getting stuck in the large intestine and causes you to fill up like a parade balloon. The best way to help your body completely digest all of the sugar so it doesn't make its way into large instestine is to chew these fruits as thoroughly as possible.
Sticking with a one-cup serving and limiting the amount of carbohydrates and sugars you eat the rest of the day can also help keep you de-puffed. Dried Apricots, Raisins, and Prunes Dried fruit can help make those trips to the bathroom more, um, productive, but it can also cause you to feel like the Michelin man. That's because it's a concentrated source of sugar and fiber, and the bacteria in your colon love it. The lists are fizzy drinks, dairy products, vegetables and legumes, whole grains, coffee, and fruits.
In the case of apricots, it can certainly give you enough gas to release obnoxiously loud farts. Beans and legumes are known to give you a visit to the bathroom, but even our friendly-looking apricots can lead you to a loud farting session. In general, other gassy foods can give you bloating, flatulence, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Certain foods contain several sugars like fructose, lactose, raffinose, and sorbitol.
These sugars cannot be digested inside your stomach. As a result, bacteria that are responsible for breaking down food particles are released. The results are an accumulation of gas that is released through belching and farting. Gassy foods are a collective term to describe food products that can accumulate gas into your digestive tract. These foods are healthy but must be eaten in moderation to have a gas-free meal.
Apricots contain a high content of sorbitol, a form of sugar alcohol falling under the polyols category. This compound is water-soluble and can be manufactured in the form of pectin and syrup. Sorbitol is commercially used as a sweetener, texturizer and preserves moisture. It is also used for food packaging, medications, and beverages.
In the case of apricots, sorbitol provides the necessary sweetness and acidity to prevent them from spoiling. If combined with the canning method, sorbitol will improve the shelf life of your food.
Sorbitol is suggested as a good sugar substitute for people with diabetes. Apricots can benefit from the improvement of oral health. Finally, sorbitol is a hyperosmotic food. This means that it can withdraw water from the surrounding tissues of the colon area—which alleviates bowel movement.
Consuming apricots in excessive amounts will make you go to the bathroom. Eating a lot of fibrous, acidic, and sweet fruits will provide discomfort to your digestive tract. Fruits like peaches and apricots have high levels of fructose and sorbitol. Fructose is a form of insoluble sugar that some people may not be able to tolerate. It cannot be digested by the intestines, which causes cause gas production.
In people with issues with their bowel movements, consuming apricots will aid in releasing softer stools. For women, consuming apricots will cause excessive bloating, which can be helped by taking proton inhibitors or belching, or going to the bathroom. Consuming dried apricots have the highest chance of discomfort on your bowel area compared to its fresh counterpart. Drying fruits increase the concentration of sugars, fibers, and good bacteria.
I've had gas after eating dried fruit in the past, but not to the extent that you did. It's because of the fibre. There are two kinds - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre is partially digested by the bacteria in your gut, which leads to gas. This kind helps smooth your BM's.
Insoluble adds bulk to the BM as it's not digested. Inulin a soluble fibre is known for causing wind in a lot of people.
If you don't have a lot of fibre in your diet and then you suddenly add a load, the bacteria in your gut can't handle it as there aren't enough of them, so you get gas. Taking antibiotics might have had an effect by killing off the bacteria that would normally help handle this sudden influx of fibre.
I find that taking a large amount ml of live yoghurt in one sitting will cure a wide variety of mild digestive problems. Also, there's a yoga pose for relieving gas. The fructose in the pile of dried apricots may have contributed to the gas too. See this article explaining fructose malabsorption and dried fruit , or the Wikipedia article about fructose malabsorption : "Even in healthy persons, however, only about 25—50g of fructose per sitting can be properly absorbed" not cited, but more or less confirmed by this article.
Employ extreme caution in ingesting them. This has happened to me too I can usually only eat maybe 5 pieces or else I end up in the same situation. It might help to drink more water with them too. Just here to commiserate. Dried apricots give me horrible gas. I joke that there's one awful emission for each one I eat. Does apple juice also give you a stomach ache? Nobody in my family can tolerate apple juice or cider, or really any dried fruit without painful consequences.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, even in large quantities, do not cause the same issues. My only solution is to not buy or eat dried apricots, and if you must, never more than one at a time. Nthing the fiber. I once ate a whole box of mixed dried fruit in college and it gave me near-immediate intestinal issues once of a different sort , and have learned to slow it down as a result.
But better ways to relieve the gas pain are: sipping peppermint tea pure peppermint leaves, not "mint tea" that is black tea with mint flavoring or those Gas-x tablets you can get OTC in drug stores. It's the fructose. Fiber alone shouldn't give you gas, since it is digestively inert. Each dried apricot is a whole apricot. You can usually roll them between your fingers and then see the hole where the pit was removed.
