I love eating beans a lot, especially when it is mashed and cooked with palm oil and ground pepper. My problem however is that I fart a lot after eating the delicacy so much so that my wife is complaining. Kindly advise me on what to do about this.

Beans are highly nutritious and rich in various important vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, folate, iron, and zinc. However, they’re also known for causing unpleasant digestive symptoms, including gas, bloating, and stomach pain. This problem is created because of the existence of some compounds in beans which results in the production of gases, including methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, which cause flatulence and bloating. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to prevent or minimize gas caused by beans. For example, some studies show that soaking and cooking beans before eating them can significantly decrease their production of gas. Furthermore, some people discovered that adding ‘gari’ to the beans and drinking plenty of water will reduce the gas production.
