Spinach could be the reason for the gas,
this is off the ivillage
Gas, flatulence and bloating are all part of the natural process of digestion. When fat is digested, gas is produced in the small intestine. When simple sugars (carbohydrates) are digested, gas may be produced in the large intestine; that occurs when carbohydrates are not completely digested, resulting in fermentation. The incomplete digestion and resulting gas can give you the feeling of stomach rumbling (also called borborygmus).
Certain foods are more likely to cause gas and intestinal discomfort; these include dairy products such as milk, cheese or yogurt; whole grains such as bran or wheat products; vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and spinach; and fruits such as apples, pears or peaches. As many of these foods are also part of a healthy diet, it is important that you try to isolate which foods cause you to have gas. To do this, eat only one of these foods for a few days and keep track
