Onions aren't good for dogs, but I know of many preparations and foods that list garlic as an ingredient. Actually, I give my dog Earth Animals Herbal Internal Powder to prevent flea infestations, and that contains garlic. You should be careful about spices; I can't think that ginger is that good for dogs, but I could be wrong.
I had a dog who had cancer for two years, and her vet insisted no nightshades-tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, or peppers. Green peppers set off a warning bell for me just because green peppers aren't really that good even for people: they're unripe peppers. But they are also of the nightshade family and as such contain nicotinic acid-the hallmark of the nightshade family.
If you look at the ingredients labels, especially of canned foods, many dog foods have potatoes in them. I avoid giving my dog potatoes, although they probably wouldn't hurt him. The vegetables I commonly give my dog are carrots, turnips, peas, zucchini-ground, raw, and added to his food.
(Okay, okay…you just want to know what would make them gassy: onions and bell peppers, right off, because they shouldn't have them to begin with. Leeks aren't good; they're a member of the onion family and will also probably give your dogs gas. And as someone else mentioned, beans are going to make them fart as well.
You don't have yeast on your list, although a common flea treatment is yeast and garlic. Yeast will make them gassy too; I gave my dog Tipper too much yeast one time, and it was the only time she ever really farted.)

Nutritional yeast is also called brewer's yeast; nutritional yeast and baking yeast are both yeast, but I don't know if brewer's yeast would be my first choice to bake with. (Remember: there are no dumb questions.)

thanks. I didn't know the difference. I know I have some yeast that is for baking-- all I know about nutritional yeast is that it tastes like cheese and has high protein content hehe

This may sound like a dumb question: but is nutritional yeast the same as baking yeast? or what kind of yeast are you referring to?
