Two other solutions a 1. eat more beans 2. take some enzyme (Beano in the US) The gas is caused by the incomplete digestion in the small intestine of complex sugars in the beans. Your body cannot digest these complex sugars, however, there are always bacteria in your intestines, and they will break down the complex sugars into simple sugars, which the small intestine will then absorb as a nutrient. If you don't eat beans very often, then you won't have enough bacteria to break down all of the complex sugars in time. When these complex sugars reach the large intestine, the bacteria is still breaking them down. However, the large intestine can only absorb water, not other nutrients. Thus, there will soon be a lot of simple sugars in the large intestine, which bacteria will feed upon, producing lots of gas. So, if you eat beans more often, then you will have enough bacteria to completely digest the complex sugars while they are still in the small intestine. Beano contains the same (or similar) enzyme that breaks down the complex sugars into simple sugars. -- Dan Abel Sonoma State University AIS |

Epazote! Sage also works well, but the line between best results and "I can taste the sage in my beans!" is kinda narrow. And some females are sensitive to the stuff and will start their menstrual periods a day or two after eating too much (for them) sage. -- Art Sackett, Patron Saint of Drunken Fornication |

Apparently, Hans-Marc is an "evil Nazi from Austria," at least he claimed
