  1. Take gas ex.


  2. Products such as DE-GAS are ok, but try using Live Culture

    Capsules such as INNER HEALTH PLUS on a daily basis.

    The farting is the result of a bacterial proccess in the

    digestive system and taking "good bacteria" daily can help!

  3. HOLD it as long as you can...or don;t eat beans for breakie....

  4. Ty a cork.

  5. Gas-X or beano

  6. try over the counter meds like beano or other gas reducing meds, or just dont eat beans.

  7. Beans and farting

    Beans contain complex sugars called oligosaccharides that normal digestive enzymes in the upper intestine can't process. The sugars pass unprocessed into our lower intestines where there is a bacteria population that can eat these sugars, in effect fermenting them and producing carbon dioxide gas as a waste product.

    Mature dried Beans contain the most oligosaccharides. Young fresh peas and snap beans are the least offensive legumes to eat. Some say that lima beans and navy beans -- as in good old baked beans -- produce the most gas. The gas itself is odourless. But other foods that you eat along with them have their own aromas as they are digested, and this is what you smell. Members of the onion family including leeks and garlic contain sulphurs. If you have these in your stomach along with bean gas to carry the odour out, well.

    Some people say that soaking and changing the soaking water several times, and then cooking in fresh water, and then replacing the water half-way through cooking helps to leech out the gas-producing sugars. Most people, however, say this makes no appreciable difference; you're just as well to don a grass hoolah skirt and dance around the stove. Besides, you're tossing down the sink the flavourful, nutrient-rich stock from the Beans.

    In Indian cuisine, it is believed that adding garlic and ginger helps reduce the gas. (If nothing else, it would certainly make the gas more fragrant.) Some people say that when Beans are a regular part of your diet, gas tends to be less of a problem because your stomach develops enzymes to process the oligosaccharides. They advise that starting out with 1/2 cup of cooked Beans a day for a few months helps your stomach to get used to them. If you stop eating Beans daily and don't have them again for a long interval, you apparently have to start developing the enzyme all over again. It's difficult to know what the truth of this is: whether your stomach gets used to the Beans, or if you get used to being "windy". Some people say they have tried this daily Bean eating routine for up to a year, but never progressed past the stage of getting kicked out of bed at night by their nearest and dearest.

    Bean products which are already fermented, such as black bean sauce, tofu, tempeh, etc, lose their oligosaccharide sugars during processing and so don't cause this flatulence.

  8. Don't eat too many beans.

    They are foul any way, don't eat themat all!
