..from cooked beans:awman:? I literally had to discard more than half a pot of beans because I almost asphyxiated myself, and could have killed any, innocent by-standers:sosad:.


I love beans and usually make a pot maybe twice a month. I don't usually have any problems. I like to either soak them over-night, then drain, rinse, add fresh water, cook. Or like this time, I brought to boil, let stand an hour, then cooked. If I'm ever lucky enough to find a man that will have me, I don't want to poison him, so help is welcome here:confused:
 

Are those prescription only? Interesting, because I have never read about probiotics, so I know very little. Thank you Pappy;) Beans are the only thing that does that to me.
 

Oh wow, I guess I have some here, it says Nutritional Yeast has probiotics in it! I love that stuff! I don't eat it every day though, maybe should eat it more often!

Oh no. Most any store sells them. We use the Phillips brand. One a day.

I'm going to get some Pappy, I only take a Multi-vitamin right now, so I could add that in;) ty so much!! For anyone else reading, those beans were pinto beans I cooked this time.
 
Oh thanks Pappy, I'll check out what we have here in Roseburg;) I usually get my stuff at Walmart because it's cheapest, but cheap probiotics are better then none;) I'll see what I can find;) denise
 
I have read that adding baking soda to the water when you cook beans will bubble the gases out. Kind of like drinking soda pop make you burp, I guess, but for the beans.
It is supposed to be about a tablespoon of soda for a lb. of beans, and add it when you start the beans cooking.

Yes, my sis has told me that before. I haven't tried it because I rarely have any problem. But I think I'd like to look into the probiotics. I had never read up on them, and just assumed they were prescription only. Well, tonight I played it way safe and had a piece of fish and some rice;) Thanks for your reply HFL;) denise
 
We always soak the beans overnight and discard the water without too much trouble. There are always products like Bean-O, which is a pill you take before you eat them, I heard it worked well. Cheaper than the probiotics, which you'd have to take daily, would be Activated Charcoal. That you could take before and after the beans if needed, and it will absorb intestinal gas, also helping with gas pains. Don't know if Walmart sells it, but maybe a drug or health food store.
 
Denise 1952 Please beware of over the counter probiotics . They have a very short shelf life . The higher quality ones are best and all good quality probiotics are refrigerated . Most non-refrigerated probiotics enzymes die in a very short timespan .
