The average person passes gas nearly 10 times a day. We all get bloated. Some of us, more than others. The key to beating the bloat is understanding what's going on in your digestive tract and knowing what foods are more likely to make you balloon up.Beans, for example, are notorious for creating the kind of stomach gas that leaves you wondering if your jeans shrank overnight. But we've got more than beans to blame. Did you know that sorbitol -- the sugar alcohol in sugarless gum -- can create bloat and upset your stomach or that even alcohol affects stomach gases and can cause bloating?
