Beans, beans are good for the heart...

Drain and rinse off your canned beans. When using dried beans, change the soaking water at least once, and then also drain and rinse before cooking.

in addition to some of the above, add turmeric.

My grandma used to add winter savory and summer savory (herbs) and said it helped with the gas. They are hard to find fresh - have to grow them yourself if you want them fresh.

Don't know if it really works, but Grandma was pretty smart!

I know what you are talking about; however. I go on and off of healthy eating kicks (usually eat pretty well, but sometimes don't eat quite as many beans, veges and fruit). I'm back to upping all my beans, fruit and veges, as well as oatmeal in the morning. It takes me a couple of weeks to get used to the increase in consumption of gassy foods.

Hang in there, it will get better. Back off a little for a day or two and up again. It's just like anything else, you have to up your increase in healthy foods a little at a time, just like training on the bike or adjusting your saddle!
