A member asked:

Can gas be a sign of food poisoning in pregnancy? ate pancakes breakfast, avocado and chicken at lunch, and plantains with stew for dinner clif bar

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure, but...: Feeling full of "gas" may reflect malabsorption of food (like gluten, lactose), intake of poorly digested food, or choosing foods known to promote gas (beans, fizzy drinks). Sometimes its a stomach emptying too slowly, bacterial overgrowth syndrome, delayed intestinal function, partial obstruction from any cause (like pregnancy), infection, rectum problems, and pelvic pathology outside the gut.
