There are a few reasons why chili causes gas after eating it, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list-style-tips\">\n<li>Being high in fiber: Dishes high in fiber, like chili, can be hard to digest, which can often cause gas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capsaicin: Red chilies and many of the spices commonly used in chili recipes contain capsaicin, which, while delicious, can cause problems like gas, heartburn, and even acid reflux, especially in those with sensitivity issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomato sauce: Adding tomato sauce to your chili can cause the stomach to release more acid, which can cause irritation and lead to gas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beans: Beans contain a type of sugar called oligosaccharides that the human body can&#8217;t digest, which can lead to gas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a sensitive stomach and often feel gassy, you don&#8217;t have to skip out on chili! Adding baking soda to your chili can help break down some of the sugars that cause gas while creating a thicker and more flavorful chili!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While &#8230; <a title=\"Why Chili Causes Gas\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocook.recipes\/why-chili-causes-gas\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Why Chili Causes Gas\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":9107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12396],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chili-guides","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Chili Causes Gas and What You Can Do<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chili is a delicious meal, but many people report feeling gassy after eating it.
