I know that this ? must be in this thread somewhere but I can't find it. How does a person reduce the amount of gas that beans produce when made into soup or anything else?
Agreed with emphasis!Candocook said:By building up a tolerance for the type of fiber that beans have. Eating them often and getting your digestive tract familiar with them.

Constance said:I have read that putting an aspirin in the beans disables the enzymes that cause the flatulence.
I don't bother...it's more fun to play fart football.
VeraBlue weighs in on the side of common sense.VeraBlue said:Well, you could soak them, overnight, and it eliminates some of the problems you may be having.
But, cheer up, there is even better news, actually. If you eat beans often enough, you'll eventually find that your body assimilates to the starch and sugars and you'll not experience whatever it may be you are experiencing. If you have a salad every day, toss a quarter cup in for 4 or 5 days...you'll notice a difference by the end of the week.

Lulu, if you succeed in your quest, let me know as I too suffer from the same problem despite soaking the beans overnight and dumping the water on the first boil. The only relief for me is to rub with an ointment called 'Tiger Balm.'lulu said:Well, I'm going to trust Clive and VB, they are usually reliable.
