Can sugar cause gassiness?

[DevaMajka]

I'm on an ED because ds2 is sensitive to something. Today I ate pretty much the same thing as the other day, just with a lot more sugar. The other day I was fine, today I'm uncomfortably gassy.

Could this be a yeast thing? There's not really anything else that's different.
This seems to happen every once in a while, but I've never been able to tie it to a certain food. My diet is pretty limited atm, so it's easier to pinpoint (one benefit of an ED, I guess).

My first thought was yeast.

Since I don't see you just eating spoonsful of sugar , there must be something else you increased besides sugar on that day. That being said, ANY food can cause ANY symptom (so if it's just cane sugar, for instance, then you could actually be sensitive to cane sugar). It could also be yeast.

Well...it could have been spoonfuls of sugar I ate homemade caramel that was just sugar and water. You don't need to eat much to get to spoonfulls of sugar.

Both days I ate beans, rice, and quinoa millet waffles (quinoa, millet, baking powder, sugar, sea salt, canola oil). I imagine I ate similar amounts of everything both days, possibly less on the day I ate the caramel.

The gassiness also seemed to happen on days that I ate loads of bananas and/or pears. Diet was the same otherwise. My first thought was that it was fruit, but yesterday I had no fruit, so...
