Oat Sprouts and beans and gas

[Guest guest]

Since everyone is giving their opinion -

 

Beans do not digest unless they are sprouted first - soaked for I'd say at least 24 hours.

 

When they are soaked first, they are much easier for the body to digest and utilize as the enzyme inhibitors are gone and they are now an alive food ready for eating.

 

Therefore, less or no gas. (Remember ability to digest varies from person to person and what else was eaten with the beans?)

 

I've never tested out to prove the "water" therory.

 

But I know people besides myself, who have experienced proper digestion when beans were soaked

and suffered a lot when they were not.

 

So the message is: soak your beans first and you and your friends will be happpy!

Never heard that one before!! So the f*rts are actually heavy metal residue, like exhaust from a car?? That's REALLY unromantic :)ILANA xoxoChinLdy wrote:

Suzi and Ilanna, ROFLMAO too, I have heard through the years, that beans remove all the extra metals from the body and depending how much level of metals have built up makes for when sometimes people get a lot of gas from the beans and sometimes none.???

Valorie,I was always told that the f*rts in beans are in the water they comein when you buy them canned and that rinsing them completely makesthem easier to digest. So possibly there are constituents in the soakwater that decay quickly or something like that. Beans are potentlittle creatures!
