The Most Common Causes of Abdominal Pain: Gas Every human being produces and passes gas, though usually only men want to discuss it. Gas is naturally formed as the digestive system breaks down food. Some foods, though, are known to produce more gas than others as the body works on them. These include high fiber foods such as beans, vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products. Other foods that can increase gas in the body include dairy products, soft drinks and fruit juices. An excess of gas in the system can lead to bloating and abdominal pain. Frequent painful gas (belching or flatulence) can be a sign of health problems, such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and colon cancer.
