Dr KK Answers: Dr. KK’s tip for abdominal gas or dyspepsia


As per Ayurveda Texts, any food grown under the ground and eaten raw will produce gas in the body.
Also any food which can split into two equal parts, if eaten raw will produce gas in the body. Examples are almonds, walnuts, pulses, legumes, rajma etc. They should be soaked in water for few hours before cooking them or boil them before eating.
