Add them slowly and gradually, but consistently. You could start with just 1/4 cup of soy milk a day, or a few tablespoons of pureed beans (any kind) mixed into your lunch or dinner main dish.
Shouldn't take more than a week or two to get your gut re-adjusted to them, just start with a small amount and eat them consistently.
Best,

Hi - it should not cause an attack, you just need to start with small amounts and continue to eat them so your body adjusts to the raffinose (bean sugar). Go slowly and gradually, and things should be fine.
