I read somewhere that if you soak beans in a baking soda solution, you will not get all the gas from eating them. It did not say how much baking soda or how to actually do it. Does anybody know ? I wonder if you can just put the soda in after you cook them.
 
I don't see that working. you get gas from beans because of a sugar in the beans that the body has to break down.

if you wanna avoid gas, use the product Beano, which is basically just an enzyme to help break down the sugar so you don't have to.

I have heard to cook a piece of potato or carrots in with the beans and it'll help with gas. I have also heard the longer they are cooked the less gas. Always soak the beans 8 hours and I change the water frequently while soaking, and always start with fresh water to cook. I don't have a problem with beans I make, but canned beans are not right. I think if you eat canned beans it's best to drain the liquid.
