Try lentils first! They are usually easier on your digestion. Ease your way into eating more beans and other legumes — start with one tablespoon a day, which should be unproblematic. Increase the amount slowly, at any pace that feels comfortable to you! Rinsing your beans well reduces the amount of gas-producing sugar. Consuming pureed beans, as in hummus or dips, is easier for your intestines to digest! If you cook your own beans, soak them for several hours and discard the water before cooking them.
