I've been getting a facial rash for the last year since I got IBS and I couldn't figure out why I got it. For the last week or so I've been taking more Beano than usual and this morning I realized that my forehead is covered in hundreds of little red bumps that look like rash. I looked up Beano on the net and read that rash was reported in some cases as a side effect from Beano. I guess I'm stoping using it now. Darn it, I took 3 this morning! I don't know what I will do without it now, since it seemed to be helping me for the last couple of days. I started drinking ginger tea so hopefully that helps.

I read that if you're alergic to penicillin do not take Beano. Evidently you're alergic to one of the ingredients. A really good substitute is GasStop by Renew Life Formulas, www.renewlife.com - I bought it on the web.
Happy days....CMB

Glad you posted that. I stopped using it because it's not vegan....now I know why I was so itchy all time when I was taking it. My husband kept asking what antibiotic I was on, and I wasn't.

Oh my goodness! I am deadly allergic to penicillin! Once I broke out in hives for a month where I was swallen 3 times my size and was scared for a year with dark spots all over my body. Since then I am allergic to almost every kind of lotion or scent. I will never use beano again!
