Why Vegetables Make You Bloated (And What to Do About It)

Why do vegetables make you feel bloated even when you’re eating “healthy”? In this video, Dr. Ngozi Okoro, a Mayo Clinic–trained, board-certified gastroenterologist with over 15 years of experience, explains the real science behind bloating, gas, and abdominal distension in a clear, compassionate, and practical way. You’ll learn what bloating actually is (and how it’s different from weight gain or fat), why gas forms in the gut, and why fiber-rich vegetables often trigger that tight, swollen feeling. Dr. Okoro breaks down how your gut bacteria ferment fiber, how FODMAPs work, and why foods like onions, garlic, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and other cruciferous vegetables can cause more gas especially if your digestion is slow or sensitive. This episode also explains why some people tolerate vegetables easily while others feel uncomfortable after just one serving, and why raw vegetables tend to cause more bloating than cooked ones. Most importantly, Dr. Okoro shares evidence-based strategies to reduce vegetable-related bloating without giving up plants altogether. In this video, you’ll learn: • What bloating really means and how to tell gas from fat • Why fiber and gut bacteria create gas (and why that’s normal) • How FODMAP vegetables contribute to bloating and discomfort • Which vegetables are more likely to cause bloating—and which are easier to tolerate • Why cooking vegetables can make digestion easier • Simple steps to reduce bloating, including portion sizing and food prep • Lower-FODMAP vegetable options to start with • Practical tips like garlic-infused oil, soaking beans, and enzyme support • Lifestyle habits that reduce bloating, including chewing, hydration, and walking after meals If vegetables make you feel bloated, this doesn’t mean your body is broken—or that you should stop eating them. It means your gut bacteria are doing their job, and with the right approach, you can support digestion more gently.
