A food intolerance is difficulty digesting certain foods and having an unpleasant physical reaction to them.

According to the NHS, a food intolerance can lead to bloating when:

Your bowel does not empty properly

  • The food causes gas to be trapped
  • Too much gas is produced as a reaction to the food.

“The most common foods to cause problems are wheat or gluten and dairy products,” says the health body.

It adds: “The best approach if you have a food intolerance is to eat less of the problem food or cut it out completely.”
