That's cool to know that you can eat lima beans Fishnet, I love them! Are you C- or D-IBS?

How about you Marnie, C- or D-IBS?

Can either of you handle soy products? I have no trouble w/ them at all and have been eating them alot for the past 6 years as I'm primarily a vegan, except occas if I'm really craving protein I'll have a piece of salmon. It doesn't make any sense to me that I can eat so many soy foods and yet as soon as I eat any type of bean, and especially peas, I get terrible gas, distention and discomfort!!

I haven't yet dared to try any type of beans in combo w/ using Beano, but I keep trying to work up the nerve to do so. It seems like Beano really makes a big diff for many others on this board in terms of their ability to eat beans comfortably. Wondering if either of you has tested whether Beano will allow you to successfully eat the types of beans that you usu can't tolerate?

Txs again for the help I'd really like to get some beans back into my diet. Look forward to hearing more of your thoughts!

Hello I'm IBS-C. Yeah, they're fine with me, but other more "real" beans, no way! They give me bad pains/gas/bloating, regardless if I take Beano or not. It kind of sucks, cause I'm vegetarian, and beans are very good in that aspect. Like you I don't eat dairy, but I do eat things with eggs in them, but try not to (it's hard not to though). Have you tried lentils?
