Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the question.

Bloating can be caused by a variety of factors like health issues, genetics, or medications; but it can also be caused by the foods we eat. Although we may be eating a healthy diet, some foods like broccoli and milk can cause painful gas and bloating that’s as uncomfortable as it is unsightly. Here is a list of six bloating culprits to watch out for.
Broccoli Although filled with fibre and vitamins, broccoli can also cause gas and bloating. Try eating broccoli very slowly to reduce gas.
Artificial sweeteners They may save on calories, but artificial sweeteners contain sugar alcohols which can cause bloating. Minimise your use of artificial sweeteners or skip them altogether to reduce uncomfortable gas.
Chewing gum While it may help to digest your food and keep your teeth white, chewing gum can bring excess air into your digestive system, which causes gas. Chew gum slowly to reduce gas.
Cabbage Delicious and healthy cabbage is a great vegetable to enjoy all year round. But this leafy veggie can also spur painful bloating. Avoid it or try eating it slowly for relief.
Carbonated drinks Although some popular sodas were created to help digestion, they may cause bloating as well. Limit your consumption of these bubbly treats to keep your digestive system on track.
Milk It may be filled with vitamins and nutrients, but milk is a major offender of bloating and gas. Try opting for lactose-free milk or almond milk for relief without sacrificing the milky taste.
