Glad you asked. When your body digests food it lets of gases. Beans take longer to digest so they are building up gases further down your digestive system and they need to escape. Also everybody farts including girls roughly a dozen times a day regardless of what people tell you. I think farting is hilarious and people should not be embarrassed about it but proud.

Do Beans Make You Fart

Eat more beans. To digest beans requires a specific enzyme. However, production of this enzyme is expensive in body terms, so the body only keeps a small stock on hand. When you eat beans, or any food high in fiber, the body generally doesn't have enough enzyme to fully break it down, so the digestive system's action on these partially broken down foods creates methane. Once the body notices that you are eating fiber rich foods, it ups enzyme production to digest these foods, and tapers off when you stop. This is why you can eat beans on Monday and fart your brains out, and when you eat them again on Wednesday, nary a toot. Beano is a diet aid available at any drugstore, it prevents gas by introducing a supplemental supply of the necessary enzyme, take whenever you eat fiber rich foods.

Not only makes you fart but the smell is out of this world, that's why I try to stay away from any kind of beans, and that will be the solution I believe, sometimes I have just a few red beans in the salad but that's it...

If your are making a pot of home made beans here is a tip that was passed down to me from my grandmother. If you put a teaspoon of sugar in while they are cooking then it reduces the chances of you getting gas. Unsure why but it does work I do it all the time when I make a pot of beans. Trust me in house full of boys I need to!! it works every time.

I remember reading years ago that adding ginger (ground) to the pot while boiling your beans would cause them to release whatever it is in them that becomes gas in our gut.
I don't know if how well it works. Beans, beans the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot.

It's a fermentation process which causes gas. Beano does work.

They claim Beano will work,, it is caused by gas built up.
