based on IF/SF content among red/white kidney/baked beans?
(I guess green beans are a different kettle of fish and soybeans would be the best?!)

They all contain about 3 to 5 times as much IF compared to SF. Most of the IF is in the skin and SF inside. Heather says "For beans and lentils, cook and blend them into sauces, dips, soups, or spreads - their insoluble fiber is found in their outer skins and their insides are actually rich in soluble fiber."

Thanks... I was only wondering (hoping) that there was a difference between different kinds and some were more commendable!

I eat the little white beans all the time. They are so good. I beleive they are called pea or navy beans. No problems at all.

Just google tissue cell salts or Schuessler salts, they've got to be tried to be believed how amazing they are.
you can get a general account of any of the results that come up in google, here is a more in-depth version:
http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:Xndv1lDNSroJ:www.brighterdayfoods.com/PDFDocs/l/LR72WHCKJQ1V9LTGKT8CGWX7TM5B1NP5.PDF+schuessler+cell+salts+warts&hl=en&gl=hu&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjaE46HqYw-LmesG6K1mqq_I7_Bhwl72eZJyLEKiZOpUlDQFd-fQ934gBGCSOgQoQBPRnoOXcH_GYWAWbdXX2sokw1brUi-Z9MoL6JKznACFbgJt16wQQyirCms8C45WE3wfXIF&sig=AHIEtbRPZIEhUKBwSQprZ00B_xwPywesMg
I am not sure about the efficacy of alternative medicine like homeopathy, but this is not homeopathy and their effect is just instantenous. I use them not merely to alleviate the symptoms of IBS, but for numerous other problems and they are doing me tremendous service.
the only downside is that they contain a small amount of lactose, which is forbidden on Heather's diet..
but if you are in the US then there are lactose-free versions, which I myself may order, sure they can be shipped over here to Europe, if you're willing to pay.

is also useful.

Great article about the cell salts. I do believe in homeopathy and have had fantastic results with certain remedies, however, have not had any one remedy help with IBS!

cellsalts,
I see by your sig that you are IBS-C.
May I ask what salts specifically that you take for this?
And...are they working for you in this regard?
What I am wondering is, if they are so great and of such huge benefit, then why are you on this board asking all these questions?
Not trying to be confrontational, just trying to understand.

I am dubious about some homeopathic remedies, but cell salts work on a different basis. At any rate it would be highly unlikely that they only work on the placebo effect, I've used them far too long and far too randomly and they always helped, mostly instantenously but at other times pretty fast as well. Please do give them a shot, but bear in mind that most brands contain lactose, so the liquid from marketed by Hylands in the US may be our best shot!
