<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Yes, beans can be highly indigestible, even in healthy people. We use a product called, BEANO, which is an enzyme that helps to break down the complex sugars contained in beans. We use the liquid form, about 3-4 drops on the first bite of food, and no more problems for us. Without this product, eating beans would be impossible for us.
