Does Brinjal Cause Gas - #5050
I’ve been noticing weird digestion issues lately, and I’m kinda wondering: does brinjal cause gas? I eat a lot of vegetables because I’m trying to lose weight, and brinjal is one of my go-to ones. It’s cheap, easy to cook, and fills me up. But for the past few weeks, I’ve had bloating and, to be honest, a lot of gas after meals. I didn’t think much about it at first, but then I realized it happens mostly when I’ve had dishes with brinjal. Does brinjal cause gas in some people, or am I just overthinking it? I also read somewhere that certain vegetables can trigger gas depending on your dosha. Could this be related to my body type? I don’t have major stomach problems otherwise, but the gas is really uncomfortable and even embarrassing. Does brinjal cause gas because of how it’s prepared, or is it something about the vegetable itself? I usually make it fried or in curries. Should I stop eating it entirely, or are there ways to cook it to avoid this? Does brinjal cause gas for everyone, or only people with certain digestive issues? My family doesn’t seem to have this problem, even though we eat the same meals. Would Ayurveda recommend avoiding brinjal for someone with this issue, or could this mean I need to adjust something else in my diet? I’m really confused because I’ve eaten brinjal all my life and never thought about this until recently.
