Question:
Dr's / nurses / anyone know a remedy to relieve gas / farting?
I eat about 5 cups of black beans a day cause I lift weights & they are effective for what Im trying to accomplish. The only thing is they give me really bad gas, ive tried gas x, ive tried beano & neither really helped. So I am wondering are there any other remedies out there for gas / farting? Maybe is there a prescription from a doctor i can get or something
Answers:
As for how much beans to eat, they are nutrition powerhouses, and a little goes a long way. 1/4 -1/2 cup cooked is the average serving size.
Beans should always be cleaned, rinsed, then soaked. The general principal is long slow soaking, and long slow cooking is best for beans.
Soaking loosens the skins, and releases the gas causing substance and coverts the complex sugar into digestible form. When cooking, discard the soaking water and use fresh. Don't add salt or baking soda to beans when cooking.
You can add a few fennel, or cumin seeds, or a slice of ginger, or a bay leaf. These help to soften the fiber, convert the sugars, and add nutrients to make beans more digestible,
