Broccoli and cauliflower are two popular veggies from the cruciferous family. They are versatile and healthy but they contain something called raffinose — a type of carbohydrate that gets fermented by our gut bacteria. Along with the sulfur in those veggies, this can result in smelly gas! If you get used to eating cauliflower bit by bit, you won’t have to deal with bloating and gas from it. Steps towards a better tolerance of cruciferous vegetables include: cooking them, chewing them well, pureeing them and eating them with herbs and spices that aid digestion.
