demonseed Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 HeyI have been vegan for almost 2 years feel great most days however the second I have any beans I get severe stomach pain and bloating! It usually lasts half a day!What am I supposed to do? I have tried beano it's ok but still bloated. I have read about soaking beans etc and I h e been trying it maybe not soaking them long enough? I find canned beans are way worst. Maybe I ahold eat more sourcecrowt? Any ideas? What else can I do for protein? I do soy powder, nuts, greens, hemp seeds... I must say years ago I was told I have Ibs but since vegan I have no issues on the can! I think i had issues due to all that meat! Also I have not taken meds do Ibs since vegan! So I believe it is the beans! The pains are always mid torso goes smooth, bloated and I get gassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Welcome to my world... You just have to stop eating beans really.. That's your only option, it's what I had to do after trying absolutely everything, only problem is that soya gave me the same issues :/ I would eat less soy just in case it happens to you. Switch to a non soy protein powder (hemp, pea, brown rice), try and get non soy products, quite often you can get wheat protein like meat free sausages, they're full of protein. Have a look online for high protein vegan products that don't contain beans or soy there are plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonseed Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 HeyI am concerned that I do not get enough protein.. I was about 187 and in a year and a half down to 181. Not too bad but some say I am skinner. I feel better although I have to go back to doctors this week for blood work results as I feel overly tired. That being said I am closing in on 40, and I work shift wok and have 4 kids under 7. With the beans, I am going to to try again, but I feel I may have to stop. I was told years ago (about 15) that I have IBS and beans is one food they say not to eat. Since I switched to vegan I have had hardly any issues, stopped all medications etc.. so I thought maybe it was just the diet before. I have read a lot about beans and IBS or not I am not alone. I am glad you posted your views! It helps my feelings. Soy protein is fine so far with me, but then I read online about men growing boobies cause of it! I will look into other sources, are powders ok or are they crap filled with fillers? In regards to whole foods what is on the non gassy, bloated list? thanks!

Eiji Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Peanut butter is good protein. A PBJ sandwich on Ezekiel bread has 15g protein. I could eat those all day. Also tofu is real easy on the stomach compared to the whole bean. Try preparing your own beans from dry and replace the water a couple times while they soak. You could also try sprouting them. I guess I'm having my own bean/legume issues too. Very gassy. I'm not bloated but man do I fart up a storm right now and beans are the culprit. The problem is that right now on my elimination diet they are pretty much all I can eat for protein. "Back blast area clear!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espirito Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I tried in this lasts days a HCLF, and i improved my digestion. - No oils- No nuts and seeds Just carbs and protein. Some foods like oats can cause bloating issues. Other thing that helped my digestion was the mono meal, one ingredient. Example Lunch: Only Lentils with saltDinner: Only Quinoa with salt Juices/smoothies, don't work with my digestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
