Guest guest Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Great reply My human body doesn't seem to know how to handle beans. I have black beans every day but if I do not include beano in the meal I often get terrible gas. I have been told that I have very little or no liver function. (due to an overdose of Tylenol prescribed to me by my doctor nine years ago) Perhaps that has something to do with it. I completely eliminated dairy, eggs and meat several months ago. I'll find some konjac.  Do you have any vegan recipes to recommend?.  You are right; I have more problems with canned beans than with dry beans that have been soaked for a day. I just had some black beans that have soaked a day and then slow cooked. I'll see what happens if I do not take beano. Epazote and Mexican Oregano, I'll find some. More spices certainly will make things taste better. Is there a brand name for Mexican Oregano or is it just the type of Oregano found in a Mexican food store? I have always thought that food should taste good. The Idea of eating something nasty just because someone says it is good for you is counter-intuitive. I'll try some bentonite clay in water. It can't hurt. Clay is very good for many ailments. Clay in water has no taste at all. I used to mix the clay and spring water in a mason jar and set in on a shelf with north light sun. The clay goes to the bottom and a small amount dissolves in the water. I just add more water as I consume the clay-water. Soaking the clay and exposing it to sunlight is supposed to activate the clay.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 23, 2009 I use food enzyme supplements. They help with the digestion as well as taking a load of the body which has to rob its metabolic enzymes to supply the short fall of what we take in with our food. 's suggestions about soaking are good. Ellis Hein Beano I have used beano for years and it is the best medicine I have yet found for reducing gas. However, I recently did a little research on beano.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Here are some replies to the replies (I snipped though: it's getting long!). > My human body doesn't seem to know how to handle beans. I have black beans every day but if I do not include beano I often get terrible gas. I have been told that I have very little or no liver function. (due to an overdose of Tylenol prescribed to me by my doctor nine years ago) Perhaps that has something to do with it. Could be. A lot of people have impaired digestion for one reason or another. > I'll try some bentonite clay in water. It can't hurt clay is very good for many ailments. Clay in water has no taste at all. I leave the clay in a mason jar and set in on a shelf with north light sun. The clay goes to the bottom and a small amount dissolves in the water. I just add more water as I consume the clay-water. Soaking the clay and exposing it to sunlight supposed to make the clay more powerful. One lady I know just keeps clay in the bottom of her water bottle. It does make the water taste better ... it also replicates what happens in water that is in a pond. It does change the quality of the water somehow, without actually dissolving in it. Someone mentioned it is like the " ionic water " or whatever it is that they sell. Clay is very magnetic, and so is water, so they probably interact somehow. > Epazote and Mexican Oregano more spices certainly will make things taste better. Is there a brand name for Mexican Oregano or is it just the type of Oregano found in a Mexican food store? Yeah, in the Mexican aisle it's in a little plastic bag called " oregano " . But it isn't the same as Italian oregano. It's wonderful stuff! I want to grow it! > I have always thought that food should taste good. The Idea of eating something nasty just because someone says it is good for you is counter-intuitive. Very counterintuitive. Plus I think you have a good chemistry set built into you: if your brain is saying " THIS TASTES AWFUL! " it's probably trying to signal you not to eat it. Besides, life's too short to eat bad food!
