5.0 out of 5 stars Beano does more than it says, December 13, 2010

I just had to write this for anyone that might have the same issue as I did. First, the manufacturers of Beano no longer make liquid form. So if you find one, it's certainly not a 'new' package, though it may be within expiration deadlines. Second, I don't believe in expiration deadlines. Just a disclaimer. I bought Beano liquid two years ago, but never opened the package. Last night I had the most horrific abdominal pain. It brought tears to my eyes. Probably the chili and beer I had, though I hadn't problems like that before. I tried to sleep it off, but I kept turning trying to find a relieving position. I finally woke up at 1 in the morning as the pain grew. I ate a GasX strip. Nothing. I had another. Nothing. I tried positions. I couldn't get charcoal. I then remembered that ancient bottle of Beano. I tore it open and probably had more than the recommend drops (the box says NOT to do that.) of about six or seven drops. Immediately, my digestive system kicked in (you can hear it!) and I was able to sleep as the gas bubble was broken up and processed. I'm mad I hadn't tried it earlier. Looking to sing its praises today I read that liquid is discontinued. I'm now hoarding the stuff. So Caveat Emptor. Don't be mad if it's a little old. It's a Seinfeld episode of Elaine's personal hygeniene products at this point.

Beano is great; liquid beano is much more cost-effective than tablet. But this vendor seems to be shipping impotent product. The expiration date looks ok, but the effectiveness was minimal for me, and I'm a long-time user. Perhaps it has been subjected to heat. Note the vendor appears to be a "liquidator". Caveat emptor...

Beans are good. they are loaded with the complex carbs that everyone is sick of hearing about. they're high in fiber, low in fat and have moderate amounts of protein.
Better yet, there are dozens of delicious things you can make with them. generations of frugal cooks in dozens of cultures have worked on refining recipes. Hummus, cassoulet, red beans and rice, boston baked beans, pasta e fagioli-there is a treasure of great eating in the world of the bean.
Alas, there is a snake in the bean garden. Although a few million teenage boys probably feel otherwise, out-of-control passage of gas doesn't really add to the pleasure of that great eating. Enter tasteless, convenient beano. A few drops applied to your beans before eating supplies the enzyme necessary to break down the long chain carbohydrates that would otherwise pass undigested to your lower intestine. There, if left to their own long-chain ways, they would ferment and produce, ahem, gas.
So here's to a few discreetly applied drops of beano. You can now enjoy the delights of bean cookery and get on an elevator and smile.
