Why do beans make you gassy?

Answer 1

Beans and some other legumes and grains contain carbohydrates that humans cannot digest. As these carbohydrates pass through the digestive tract they are digested by bacteria that exhale gases which need to be expelled... The answer as it specifically relates to baked beans is that the beans contain demihemicelluloses, which feed the bacteria mentioned above. The bugs generate methane, which explains why baked bean lovers tend to be a bit noisy, but not smelly.

Answer 2

Well you see when the gasses harnessed from the bean roots move toward the anal cavity through the colon, it makes the pressure necessary to pull off an epic fart.

Answer 4

Baked beans are closely associated with flatulence because they are known to actually increase flatulence in people. Baked beans can cause a rise in flatulence because of the fermentation of the polysaccharides.

Answer 5

Beans cause gas because they contain a sugar, oligosaccharide, which is a large molecule that is not broken down and absorbed by the lining of the small intestine as other sugars are. This is because the humans do not produce alpha-galactosidase, the enzyme that breaks down oligosaccharides. The oligosaccharides pass through to the large intestine intact, where bacteria break them down. The bacteria produce the gas.

You can add alpha-galactosidase in the form of an enzyme supplement just before eating, although it is not appropriate for people with diabetes or the genetic disease galactosemia, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar level in general and galactose in particular. Because the alpha-galactosidase is grown on a fungus, people who have mold Allergies may have an allergic reaction to the supplement. The most popular brand of enzyme, Beano, contains gelatin from fish, so vegetarians may want to use a brand called BeanZyme, which is vegan.

Eating legumes frequently encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria that will digest these sugars in a way that minimizes gas. Soak dry beans overnight to make them more digestible. Discard the soaking water, add fresh water, and cook them until soft. To aid in digestion, you can add to your cooking beans a four-inch strip of the sea vegetable kombu, available dried in the Asian specialty section of grocery stores. For new world beans, such as black beans, teparies, and pintos, try adding a teaspoon of epazote per pound of beans. Epazote is a traditional herb of Central America that is believed to help with digestion. For old world legumes, such as chickpeas and lentils, add a teaspoon of ajwain per pound of legumes. Ajwain is a traditional spice of the Middle East that also helps with digestion.
