Doesn’t the body get used to eating that many beans? Like, Mexicans eat them all the time. Also I eat them as often as I can and I don’t think they really affect me that much.
Yes. You basically have to keep eating that way and your gut flora adjust to compensate. It’s still a pretty windy diet since you rely on those gut-bugs to break down a lot of the sugars in beans.
I like to think it has more to do with the dried or dehydrated foods suddenly becoming rehydrated causing a mix of bacterial bloom within the previously barren food and difficulty digesting/passing the food resulting in the carbohydrate fermentation and flatulence as a means of pushing it through, but idk I’m not a butt engineer.

this. But also soak and discard the soaking water. And use kombu. There’s ways to get rid of the anti nutrients that cause gas before you cook it

I soak all my own beans and I don’t have the issue. As someone else said, it may have to do with our individual gut flora or something.
I heard, from John Ralston Saul of all people, that the trick is to change the water.
I’ve heard the same thing. I always drain and rinse my beans well, and I never have any complaints of gassiness.
