Eating lots of beans for a correct protein daily intake has made life challenging and a bit concerned

@Bennji hi, the logs show that you was on 7 hours ago, yet you didn't reply to :-
Concerned?
who asked you a question an hour before you logged on...is there a problem with you not answering the question ? afterall it's common courtesy to reply when someone asks you a question...if you're having any difficulties with your account/posting then please PM me and i'll have a look at your account.
Concerned?
Yes turn vegetarian over a year ago, currently eating 2 cups of beans a day and using de gas to stop bloat ( farting with bad smell ) but there must be a better supplement to neutralise my gas as I chose to become a better human being, not a smelly fart machine, any solutions to my concern ?
Concerned?
Any suggestions?
Beans contain sugars which we often cannot digest; instead, they ferment inside us and produce that gas. It's not normally a health concern that will harm you, but of course it IS annoying. "Beano" has been around for quite some time. If you are cooking and eating dry beans instead of canned, are you soaking them first, draining off the soak water, and adding fresh water before cooking them?

I googled a bit and found a link to a web page which I assume is reputable:

Thank you Tom yes I soak the beans and unfortunately bean here in Australia has to be important so it because expensive, I did find some better supplement which has improved things a bit. Thank you again for replying cheers

oooh... I have no solution, friend. I eat a ton of beans but just live with the gas. Like @Tom mentioned above, I've heard various methods of soaking and cooking can alleviate the issue.
