Depending on what you consider leafy. There are green vegetables that cause gas and lots of it! They are in the Cruciferous category of veggies. These include cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. More commonly considered leafy green vegetables like lettuce, spinach and kale don't cause a lot of gas at all.

Eating a large volume of green leafy vegetables can cause gas if you are not accustomed to the roughage. They contain a lot of fiber, which will make your digestive tract pass more material more quickly, including gas.

Anything with a high concentration of fiber is going to cause some amount of gas. That includes leafy greens like spinach and arugula. Fiber is more difficult for the body to break down.
