Hi lovelife15,

Certain foods can cause gas and some cramping-- these include:

 

Breads and Cereals

Whole grains (eg, whole wheat, brain, oats) and whole grain products

Vegetables

  • Asparagus
  • Broccoli
  • Brussels sprouts
  • Cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Cauliflower
  • Celery
  • Corn
  • Cucumbers
  • Leeks
  • Onions
  • Peas
  • Peppers
  • Potatoes
  • Radishes
  • Sauerkraut
  • Turnips

Fruits

  • Apricots
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Peaches
  • Cantaloupe and other melons
  • Raisins
  • Prunes
  • Citrus fruits

Dairy

Milk and other dairy products, including highly fermented cheese

Meat and Beans

Beans and other legumes (eg, baked beans, garbanzo, kidney, lentil, lima, navy, pinto)

Sorbitol-Containing Products

Sugar-free hard candies and gum

Beverages

  • Milk and milk products (if lactose intolerant)
  • Carbonated drinks

You can also be cramping due to ovulation or something that you ate that didn't settle well in your stomach or even caused food poisoning.

All the best,

Rosa
