Bean, beans, the musical froot, the more you eat, the more you toot! :)
Beans have saponins and antinutrients. I rarely eat them. I only sometimes eat them, mostly chickpeas, green/brown lentils, red split lentils, mung beans.
To make beans, legumes etc less farty, I wash them well, soak them for a while, sometimes overnight, then rinse again, then cover it with cold water and bring to boil, I then throw away that 1st boiled water, then i give it another good rinse, then repeat the process another time. 2nd boiled water also thrown away. Then the 3rd time i let it cook well, and excess water thrown away too. Lentils (brown ones) are simpler, though i only soak it 30minutes or 1 hour, bring to boil, throw away 1st boil, rinse again then cook for another 15-25 minutes, then throw away excess water.
Red split lentils are the most gentle, I just rinse them well, then cook them straight in soups, etc.
Do lentils cause gas and bloating in people with PBC?
Lentils are high in fiber, which can contribute to gas and bloating. Foods high in fiber and sugar tend to cause more gas in general, and this applies to people with PBC as well.
With PBC, you may be more sensitive to certain foods because of fat malabsorption and Show Full Answer
