Canned beans are actually HIGHER G.I. than home-cooked. Beans can be gassy because they contain indigestible sugars. Also, many people do not chew their food effectively which can cause wind. I find that taking Vegetarian Enzymes or Beano eliminates any bad gas or wind.

When you soak your own beans, alot of the gassy ogliosaccharides are released into the soaking liquid (which you discard) prior to cooking. Therefore, home-cooked beans are less gassy than the canned ones.

Kate, IBS-D.
