| Foods | Beans make you bloat??? | Nov 21 2008 18:09 (UTC) |

Ahhh... what I've read about canned beans (or any beans we eat for that matter) should be thoroughly rinsed before consuming. Otherwise they can make one very bloaty! Beano is a great little product too, that is safe and works very well. I'm actually looking into the use of other enzymes and how they help our bodies breakdown for assimilation and support proper digestion. Good luck!

I eat a vegetarian diet, and have been using enzymes to help assimilate my food, and reduce bloat/gas. I actually added a couple posts out in the Vegan and Integrative Health groups to see what enzymes other folks take, and what kind of results they're having. Beano works on foods other than just legumes...they nail the gas/bloat caused by carbs, whole grains, and veggies too. I avoid dairy to avoid digestive issues. I've been experimenting with some other types enzymes, but don't really know what I'm doing yet or know what works best. Probiotics are also supposed to be a great help. Another approach that works for a lot of folks is making sure you chew your food at least 20 times, and make sure you don't ingest a lot of air while eating or drinking. They say, "Drink your food and chew your water". Food combining is another way to go... some folks believe that eating grains and meat and/or dairy in the same meal, or eating fruits with any other food type can cause those problems as well. Small suggestions that may be worth a try. Keep us posted! Good luck! |
