why do baked beans give you wind

Post Reply New Topic

every time I eat baked beans I get severe bloated and belly makes loud grumbling noises and I can feel the air bubbles moving along my guts and im breaking wind all night, by the morning the bedroom smells of a rotten eggy stench

I like baked beans but they don't agree with me
I have ibs anyway so having bad guts isn't unusual for me but its twice as bad when I eat beans

what is it about beans that give people wind? do anyone else here get like this after eating beans?

Most legumes contain a sugar that is not fully digestible. Beans make some people fart because they contain sugar molecules called oligosaccharides. Some people don’t have enough alpha-galactosidase enzymes to break them down, which can cause gas and bloat. During digestion, the beans go from the small intestine into the large intestine, where gut bacteria attempts to break down these problematic sugar molecules. This creates carbon dioxide in the process which results in gas.

That don't happen to me when I eat baked beans.

That reminds me of a funny story. Towards the end of my dad's life, the family went to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Later that evening, my dad said, "Boy! I about blew the bottom out of my pants!"


I said, "Hey, that would make a great slogan for the restaurant. 'Mexican food so potent, it'll blow the bottom out of your pants!"

beans, beans, the musical fruit


the more you eat, the more you toot

Baked beans are very high in fiber & fiber can make some people gassy.

I think its because they're high in fiber, so they move through your system really easily?

It's been my experience that the more often a person eats high fiber foods, the less of an issue they have with gas. Maybe that's not the case universally.
