Why Beans = Gas
Beans contain oligosaccharides which are sugars. If they aren't broken down during digestion, they ferment in the intestine. The body gets used to the oligosaccharides in time, but you can choose beans that have less of these sugars to begin with. Chickpeas, lima beans and black eyed peas are your best bet.
You can boil dried beans for 3 minutes before soaking to reduce digestion problems, but you must keep changing the soaking water and disgard it after use.
