When they say Beans make you fart? Is that even true?!


Question:

When they say Beans make you fart? Is that even true?


Answers:

Yes its very true and bothersome.
Many people experience gas and discomfort after eating vegetables, grains, beans, legumes, and other wholesome or high-fiber foods. Even cereals, breads, nuts, and seeds can be problematic. Digestive discomfort is due to a recently identified, little-known food intolerance called Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance (CCI). Complex carbohydrates are the sugars found in many healthy foods, such as beans and other legumes, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. CCI is caused by a deficiency of an intestinal enzyme called alpha-galactosidase, which results in the incomplete digestion of complex carbohydrates. Symptoms of CCI can include flatulence, abdominal pain, bloating and cramping.
