7 Ways to Make Beans More Digestible (and less gassy).

[@BroccoliRocks]

She is an M.D. and has references for what she advises: 1. Start slow - 1/2 cup per day. Flatulence will decrease between 3 - 6 weeks. 2. Try different beans to see which you tolerate the best. Chickpeas have the least gassy chemicals, yellow split peas the most 3. Soak you beans 8 - 12 hours before cooking. Don't cook with the water you soaked them in. 4. Soak or cook in alkaline water - add 1 tsp of baking soda per cup of dried beans 5. Sprout your beans 6. Cook your beans with a strip of kombu - a seaweed that has been digestive enzymes in it 7. Use a product like beano - enzymes that digest the gassy chemical

You left out a simple but effective trick to eliminate the GAS problem: BOIL your beans vigorously for ~1 Min. Rinse, go back to normal cooking from there - and you're in GAS-FREE business! Bon appetit! :-)

8. Add a small carrot to the beans when boiling. Fish it out when done 9. Cook with ginger 10. Cook with garlic. This one really works

[@murphsviews]

I add all sorts of herbs and spices and vegetables to mine when cooking. Including those 3. Other good ones include turmeric, cumin, coriander (seed and leaf), rocket, celery, fennel (seed, flesh and leaves), zucchini, onion/leek, mustard seed and Chinese liquorice root. Yum!

[@redbarron6574]

Garlic for IBS folks is a major gasification problem even worse than beans! Lol

[@BroccoliRocks]

The doctor in the video did not mention carrots or garlic. She mentioned ginger, astofeida, and a german herb, but said there is no scientific evidence they work.

Thanks for mentioning that Eden cooks their beans with Kombu. Good to know when convenience is desired. I tried baking soda and the beans I cooked not only were mushy, but they tasted very salty; I had to toss them. I make a great hummus with sprouted garbanzos though. After sprouting I cook, and drain them, I toss them in cool water to dehull, and use some of the cooking water I’ve set aside in the hummus recipe (along with lemon juice and tahini..sometimes dill, other times roasted red peppers). Way better than store bought. I’d add that it makes sense to soak dried beans, after all they’re only going to absorb water as they eventually will if put dried in the cooking water..Less energy use with the shorter cooking time too. I don’t see that there’d be any more nutritional loss. Have you ever cooked garbanzos? The cooking water is somewhat cloudy either way-dried or soaked.

[@sergioresendez3474]

Soak your beans, the best! Of course , change the water.

[@GoldenDIY]

This was a useful video. I used to be able to digest beans fine, but now they cause me gas pain and digestive issues. Beano has helped.

[@HulkSmash315]

Why would you want to decrease the oligosaccharide content in beans? They feed our precious gut bacteria. You'll feel gassy initially, but you'll get used to it. And this is a good thing. It shows that your gut bacteria are getting better at digesting them And it improves gut bacteria amount and diversity as well.I used to get gassy from beans, but now I'm so used to it there's no rumble and tumble in my stomach.

[@Omsehnji]

I'm surprised you didn't mention pressure cooking.

[@xb4439]

Thanks a lot. I love your tranquil background forest environment. God bless!

[@DavidBruceAllen1]

You left out a time test way to eliminate gas while cooking beans. While soaking and cooking the beans you NEED to put a ladder in the pot. Just a small ladder but it has to reach the top of the pot. I know it sounds strange but if you think about it you'll understand. You have to make a way for the little farts to climb out. 😁 Okay I tried the baking soda while soaking a cooking my post of beans. IT WORKED! I just wish you had told us it would cut the cooking time down from 1 1/2 hours to about 15 minutes. I also wish you had told us to turn the heat down a little to prevent boil over. I NRVER would have guessed a little baking soda would make such a huge difference. LOL Dr. Van Dyken you could have saved me a big mess. 🤐😬😮😮😄

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

We eat a lot of beans...o love them

[@Nadege949]

That was very helpful! Thank you!

[@ElenaHaskins]

Thank you for this information.

[@Mdlrtrombon]

Thank you!

[@health_yogi7687]

Loved her!

[@robertrowan9893]

Any data on the amount of chewing involved before swallowing being a game changer? I'm of the opinion that most of us are almost in a race to devour each mouthful, much to our detriment. Another thing, I often consume mine with some oats for example, that I have soaked overnight with an acidophilus capsule. Throwing in some herbs like ground up fennel and cumin seeds are something, if not that I swear by, but practice on a regular basis.

[@KENTOSI]

Thanks for this! I just bought a rice cooker and can't wait to make some delicious rice & beans ;-)

[@dteun]

Doctor said you got IBS . Okay got a list of medication. And my thought was i need beans way more beans in my diet.

[@dannydine5263]

I would like to learn more about the Paleo Autoimmune or Paleo Autoimmune Vegan substitute diet. A diet for Autoimmune Disease, in my case Scleroderma.

[@josedelgado6139]

Dr. Van Dyken there seems to be several online plant based culinary courses and KZbin channels with similar content. Which would you recommend? Thanks for your great work.

[@bid6413]

Love your videos. Of course, we can always just pass gas discreetly🤭

[@MISSIONCAT11]

thank you for your helpful information. does this mean that Dr. Grundy is totally wrong about bean lectins causing perforated small intestine ? i am confused.

[@SteveWKk]

Yes….he’s a quack who is only out to sell books and products and make as much money as he can….:/

[@MagusPeter]

Yes

[@bobwright3438]

Dr. Gundry recommends soaking the beans and changing water often ; pressure cook ( I do for for 45 minutes). Dr. Gundry books do work. How to cook beans and nightshades (and shield yourself from lectins, too)

[@jwstanley2645]

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot. The more you too, the better you feel. Let's have been for every meal.

[@BroccoliRocks]

Boiling for 1 minute, the changing the water is supposed to wash away some of the oligonucleotides.

[@sergioresendez3474]

Frijoles a la charra! Thank you, great information! Beans are the best diet food!

[@snowyowl6892]

SPECIALLY IF YOU DON’t EAT THEM. 💪🏻

[@Amrrkevin]

Is peeling beans decrease gas?

[@davidlixenberg5999]

You explained that cooking beans in water made alkaline by adding a small amount of baking soda will soften beans more quickly and help with the oligosaccharide-flatulance issue. You did not explain how these results come about. David Lixenberg

[@manosdimis1194]

don't forget to add carrots and celery tomatoes and plenty of olive oil when cooking beans.

[@adamaj74]

I just buy canned beans and rinse them well. Seems to work for me.

[@adamaj74]

@David Ward Mainly to get the salt off of them.

[@Katrn30]

Yucch

[@coryschutz9574]

Jason calton books say boiling your foods veggies and others loses like half of the micro nutrients not sure about beans. You said the oligosacharides don't get lost when soaking at least according to some studies. Are oligosacharides the only type of nutrients beans provide? Do they include other minerals and or vitamins?

[@Victor-DOOM]

I only like baked beans in tomatoe sauce then let the farts rip

[@vepadadhasu2227]

Add fenugreek seeds to beans than no gas problem

[@CCmagee3]

What if beans don't give you gas, does that mean you are digesting them correctly?

[@petersymons7817]

I like beans to

[@robertanderson1272]

now you want to take the fun out of eating beans

[@dadbosworth6838]

Why no mention of lectons? Beans must be soaked for days then pressure cooked to make them safe. I prefer just to have a steak

WHEN CATS FART THEY SMELL AWFULL BUT YOU CAN NEVER HEAR THEM DO IT,,

Are those trees poisonous? They look poisonous. They look painted into the forest. Pretty trees. Wonder what their called.
