I am found of eating various dishes. But I have a gas problem, a little heavy food will create gas. So I need to be very conscious about my eating habit. So, which cares I should take while cooking food and selecting items to cook.
One thing I would like to say is I am Indian so I will prefer Indian dishes more.

I'm sure you already know this, being Indian, but adding a small amount of Asafoetida, which is widely used in Indian cuisine, to your dishes will work wonders. It works as a digestive aid and will reduce flatulence. Typical causes of flatulence are beans, lentils, onions, garlic, cauliflower and a few others. Acid is typically caused by high fat foods, such as dairy products. Also fruits with a high citrus content can cause problems. The one that always gets me is coffee, I love it but it hates me. |

Really bad gas may be a sign of a food intolerance. You may wish to keep a food diary, and see if there's some pattern to the foods you're eating and the occurrence of the problem. In my case, I also had more severe gasto-intestinal issues (cramping bad enough to go to the emergency room twice), and my doctor told me there was nothing wrong and it was stress, and I should get more exercise / drink more water / get more fiber ... of course, as it was a lactose problem, and I started eating cereal every morning, so I was really, really miserable for over a year before I figured it out on my own (after talking to someone with Celiac's) |

It varies from person to person, but the following types of food are known to cause gas: Dairy - Although yogurt and aged cheeses are usually still OK if dairy generally gives you gas. Fibrous, sulfurous vegetables - especially things like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and beans. (Not only does this cause gas - but the sulfur makes sure it has an extra foul oder). Fruit sugars - form things like raisins, prunes, and apples. Fatty foods. Carbonated drinks. |

Usually starchy food. Starchy food gives gas, Fatty food gives distension, Proteinaceous food gives bad smell. That's in general. But if you have a gas problem, you should really see a doctor. |

For me, the instant heartburn in fresh bread and scrambled eggs. A fried egg sandwich on a croissant better come with a side of Tums and Xantac. I find protein in general produces gas. If I eat an unbalanced meat meal (Like a Texan in a steakhouse) then I'm passing gas for the next 24 hours. |
