Does Paneer Cause Gas - #3727

I’ve been following a vegetarian diet for a while now, and one of my favorite foods is paneer. I love adding it to curries, salads, and even just having it as a snack. However, recently I’ve been noticing that after eating paneer, I experience some uncomfortable bloating and gas. It’s not an issue that happens immediately, but usually, a few hours after eating. So now I’m wondering does paneer cause gas, and if so, why does this happen? I’ve never had issues with dairy products before, and I always assumed paneer would be easier to digest than regular cheese, since it’s made from milk and doesn’t contain any rennet. But this gas issue seems to be getting worse, and it’s affecting my digestion. I’ve read that dairy can cause bloating for some people, but I’m not sure if that’s the problem with paneer specifically. Does paneer cause gas because of the way it’s prepared or because of its high protein content? I’m curious if this gas issue is related to my digestive system’s reaction to the fat content in paneer. Some people say that rich foods like paneer can be harder to digest, especially if you already have a weak digestion. Is this true, and should I avoid eating paneer altogether? Or is there a way to eat paneer without triggering gas, like pairing it with certain herbs or spices that aid digestion? I’ve also been reading about Ayurveda, and I know that some foods are considered "heavy" and can lead to issues like gas or bloating when consumed in excess or not balanced properly with other foods. Could this be the case with paneer? I tend to eat a lot of it in one meal, and I wonder if Ayurveda has specific advice on how to balance it with other foods. Does Ayurveda suggest certain food combinations or methods of cooking that can prevent gas when eating paneer? Additionally, I’ve heard that dairy products in general can aggravate Vata dosha, which might be linked to digestive issues like gas and bloating. Does that mean paneer might not be suitable for someone like me, who tends to have a Vata imbalance? If paneer does cause gas because of its effects on Vata, what can I do to restore balance in my body and reduce bloating and discomfort?
