3. People with diabetes shouldn't eat too many starchy foods, even if they contain fiber, because starch raises your blood glucose and makes you gain weight. Starchy foods, such as bread, pasta, rice and cereal, provide carbohydrate, the body's energy source. Fruit, milk, yogurt and desserts contain carbohydrate as well. Everyone needs some carbohydrate in their diet, even people with diabetes. Weight gain occurs when you take in more calories than you burn off.

Dried fruit can have similar effects. Non-gassy alternatives include citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, celery, mushrooms and cooked fruits and vegetables.

Rice is the one starchy food that does not trigger gas during digestion, says the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, and wheat bran produces very little.
