As a lifelong IBS sufferer, I was always curious to try Beano, but too embarrassed to buy it in a store. Apparently I'm cool with buying all kinds of other things - embarrassing foods, pads, pregnancy tests. But Beano? No way! I'd be so judged! Thankfully, Amazon exists to help me cope with my irrational feelings on admitting that yes, I do have gas, like every other human being.
Anyway, I finally tried it. As someone with IBS, I've spent a long time figuring out what foods I can and can't eat. Some foods I love, but they're just not worth it for the pain, discomfort, and embarrassment I feel afterwards - beans, brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc. Before Beano, I had all but cut these foods out of my diet.
I started taking Beano last week, and it's already made a huge difference for me. For lunch last week, I had some steamed brussels sprouts - no gas at all. I tried cauliflower for lunch the next day - no symptoms! I haven't ventured back into the world of beans yet but, when I do, I know I can do so confidently, thanks to Beano.
The package says you can swallow or chew the pills, and thus far I've been swallowing them with my first bite of the problem food and they're working great.
Wishing I had turned to Amazon to try these earlier - no more embarrassment or pain with veggies for me
