Make sure that there are no trigger ingredients in the canned bean products, i.e. pork or beef or lard.

Also, I think that a whole can might be excessive and traumatic to your body--that's pretty extreme and might inflict exceptional pain or discomfort or embarrassment. An average can of beans usually contains at least 4 servings of beans. I'm a vegetarian and eat beans just about everyday and do not generally consume more than a cup of beans in a meal (with SF). I think the most beans I've eaten in a meal is 1.5 cup of lentils.

Also, mashing/pureeing the beans really eases the impact. Beano and other enzyme products can ease the digestion of pulses. It takes awhile for one's body to become familiar with beans/legumes. I find that the smaller ones are the easiest to digest, i.e. lentils, split peas. Moreover (not that it really matters), I note that the pulses I cook myself (after soaking/rinsing) hardly cause any gas at all.

Kate, IBS-D.
