Broccoli is a vegetable that contains a lot of fiber, which is good for health. However, it can easily produce a lot of gas causing bloating when eaten raw. Therefore, the best way for people with stomach pain is to cook broccoli before eating. Or replace it with other foods such as carrots, sweet potatoes, etc.
