The 1 full English breakfast item that 'explains why you feel bloated all day' - not bacon

When it comes to breakfast, you want to start as you mean to go on, but adding this one food to your plate is often what causes your belly to feel bloated for the rest of the day. According to experts in food intolerance in the nutrition team at Supply Life, part of Brits' favourite Full English Breakfast hides a surprising culprit.

Your stacked plate offers one particular food that is making you bloat, and it isn't the bacon, sausage or eggs, but in fact the humble baked beans you may be piling on top. Beans are a great source of protein, but they are also packed with natural sugars that plenty of people struggle to digest.

Sugars of this kind shift into the large bowel, where bacteria work to break them down, then release gas and pull in water. As a result, you're stuck with some discomfort due to a tighter waistband and a swollen stomach. In order to really understand these sugars, you need to know exactly what they're called and how to avoid them.

These types of sugars all fall under the umbrella of FODMAPs - short, fast-fermenting carbohydrates found in many everyday foods. But beans specifically are rich in one type of sugar known as GOS.

Those who have a more sensitive gut will find that FODMAPs are not absorbed as easily as others. They tend to instead ferment lower down and as a result cause bloating, cramps and wind. So, when you're eating baked beans, and you're adding toast and milk to your morning cup of tea, you're stacking these triggers up on top of one another.

It's no surprise so many people are left feeling uncomfortably full after their favourite fry-up, and it's far more common than you may realise. The health condition, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), is closely linked to having FODMAP intolerances and is something which affects somewhere between 5-20% of the UK population.

Meaning, millions of people are struggling with their bloating bellies and often living with undiagnosed IBS. Meanwhile, for others, gluten can be an entirely different hidden issue, as well as coeliac disease, which affects around 1 in 100 Britons.

Interestingly, only a third of these people are officially diagnosed, meaning half a million people are eating away as usual, with no awareness. While milk remains a standouttrigger for many people.

On a worldwide basis, it's believed that more than half of adults develop a lactose intolerance after their childhood, but the condition is less common in Northern Europe. In Britain, however, plenty of people are still affected, so if your Full English is ruining your day ahead, you're definitely not alone.

Although the experts say you don't necessarily need to give up your fry-up in order to avoid bloating. By making some small tweaks you can easily feel a big difference, especially when it comes to your beans.

Some of the big problem sugars are sitting in the sauce of the beans, and so if you're using canned beans, it's best practice to drain and rinse them, washing away the sugars with the liquid. As well as this, it's best to keep your portions to a modest size, remembering that your beans are a side to your breakfast and not the main event.

Try adding grilled tomatoes or mushrooms, another Full English Breakfast staple, and see how you feel as a result. Or, you may even find that bread could be an issue for you too, in which case you should pay a visit to your GP for accurate coeliac testing.

If you're sensing that milk is the main culprit, make the switch to a lactose-free version or simply reduce your intake, as many people are able to tolerate small servings or hard cheeses without trouble. Supply Life's straightforward "test, don't guess" approach means you can tuck into a Full English without the all-day bloat that follows it.
