[quote=Anonymous]I’ve eaten beans all my life and while they do make me a bit gassy, it’s not that big a deal.

My thoughts are that eating beans twice a month, your body may not have the chance to get used to them, and then gets hit with a large dose for a couple of days.  Aside from beans, specifically, it sounds like you’re making a sudden major increase in your fiber consumption.

I think you might do better if you ate smaller amounts of beans more frequently (several times a week).  Maybe, for example, you could have minestrone soup as a side dish for rotisserie chicken, rounded out with crusty bread.  Think of beans as a side dish of supplementary casserole/soup component, rather than your main protein, until you get used to them.

I’ve never used it, but you might look at something like Beano to help you digest beans.  When we discovered my daughter was lactose intolerant, she started taking a Lactaid whenever she had dairy, and that helped her a lot.  I don’t know if Beano operates on a similar principle, but it might be worth talking to your doctor or googling.[/quote]
