[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and sons love bean-based dishes and I want to love them. I know the health benefits and like the idea of eating less meat. We always soak the beans overnight, which is supposed to make them easier on your stomach. But I still get horrible gas and sometimes diarrhea when I eat them.

Certain varieties seem worse than others (black beans are the worst). I seem to be more ok with chickpeas and lentils. I know quinoa isn't a bean but it also wreaks havoc on my digestion.

Any tips to adapting myself to these healthy foods? Right now we cook about 2 bean-based recipes a month and eat them for 2 days. [/quote]

Nope because I have avoided beans most of my life for the reasons above. Got GD during this pregnancy and was told beans were a great option...BS for me. They spike my BS so high for no benefit, lots of gas, etc. Not everyone can and should eat everything. If your body is giving you signs to not eat it, stop eating it.

Conversely I CAN eat a significant amount of potatoes with GD right now. This is just my n=1 advice but its a lot more personalized for nutrition then they tell you. [/quote]
