Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice

As a vegan, this has been my main meal because I’m pretty lazy (usually wrapped in a tortilla with guacamole, but I also eat it plain)
The gas issues are only a problem for a few days / weeks until your gut biome adjusts !

Yes, I think it’s a sign that your diet lacks fiber and your gut is now adjusting to the heightened fiber-intake.

It’s the bean water that comes in the cans.
If you don’t use it - you don’t have the gas.
No idea what they put in it.

That is part of it, but not the complete story. I talked about the same things in a comment elsewhere here, but in a nutshell it’s the combination of fiber and the oligosaccharides in beans. The latter is what leeches out into the bean juice, which is why rinsing beans can go a long way toward reducing gas.
But for the fiber there is no getting around the need to just eat it everyday to get the microbiome adjusted to it. Where people go wrong is eating a ton of high fiber foods all at once and getting miserable with a ton of gas. It’s better to add those foods more gradually to get used to them.

Yeah, no. I cooked my own beans from dry and I was still overly gassy for a bit.
