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.
Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup.
gilokee@lemmy.world 6 months agoDoesn’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.

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.

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.

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
