I came across this info on preparing beans while minimizing your gas. I thought it was interesting, and hope its helpful to someone out there. www.savvyvegetarian.com/beans-without-gas.php
Here's a trick for making less gassy beans. If you buy dried beans instead of canned beans, and soak them in cold water with some baking soda for about four hours, then drain and rinse the beans, and finally soak them in cold water for another four hours, they will not make you fart as much. Dried beans are cheaper, too.
I dunno why this works. But it does.
