Why Is it that every time I eat I bloat big time?

I have been on a diet and I find that every time I eat my stomach bloats where it is very uncomfortable.

I eat a lot of vegetable, fruits, and protein (tofu black beans, lentils, chick peas, red kidney beans, etc)

The reason I am eating this way is because I have high blood pressure and cholesterol.  I went through
a program at my hospital where a dietician recommended this new way of eating.

I am embarrassed when this bloating takes place at a restaurant.

Any view of why this is happening I would appreciate it.

Thank you for your reply.   It does make sense.  Maybe too many beans during the week.  I will try Beano and only eat 1-2 per day.

Hopefully by then my stomarch will get used to it.

Thanks again.

Vegetables and beans products gas inside our gastric system which may cause bloating. Suggest used a product like 'beano' which reduces the gas when eating high amounts of beans or reduce bean consummation to 1-2 times a day until your body gets used to it.
