I have had a flatulance problem for quite a while, and have been taking beano for several years. It doesn't make it totally go away but it helps a lot. The amount i take depends on what i'm eating. I have two at every dinner, but four when i am having noodles or some other wheat product, four when i'm having broccoli, and at least four when i'm having beans. I imagine a dinner of Cincinnati chili (beans on spaghetti) with broccoli - that would be at lrast a six beano meal. Anyway, i do recommend it fairly highly.

I find these tablets taken before a meal reduce flatulence, bloating and wind very effectively.

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.

The earliest form of Beano was a liquid supplied in a tiny dropper bottle. You put a few drops on the bean dish before you eat. The tablets are for those public social situations where you might feel uneasy about bringing out your squeeze bottle. They seem to be almost as effective, although I must admit that my clinical trial was probably too small-scale to get FDA approval.

So here's to a few discreetly swallowed tablets of beano. You can now enjoy the delights of bean cookery and get on an elevator and smile.

I'm a vegan and as such, I eat a lot of vegetables. I get lots of fiber in my daily diet. I get lots of gas because of my daily diet. I'm also pregnant right now, but my OB said Beano was perfectly safe for me to take because, as you can imagine, pregnancy+super fiber-full diet= pretty serious and uncomfortable gas. Beano helps me get through eating a huge Mexican dinner without discomfort. I can feel reassured that I'm not going to be paying for it later. I really love Beano.

I like to have a bottle at home just in case...for some members in my family has been a life saver...its so i ordered a few bottles to give to all of them...very happy, always work.

I love this product - will continue to purchase it

at my local Vitamin Cottage.

From a person who has a lot of gas problems this product works. Take two or three before each meal. The only problem is remembering to take them. The travel size is very convienent.

My boyfriend gets horrible gas, and it had gotten to the point where I was ready to sleep in a separate bedroom from him. We decided to try beano- now he takes it with every meal and we keep a bottle in every room- it works wonders- and saved our relationship!

What can I say?You eat certain foods
you get gas.If you didn't need to be
around other people you wouldnt need
it.Or if you just don't care.But I
think it works pretty well.

The shipping costs to the UK for this item almost equalled the product price and I also had to pay £15 customs charge (for some gas tablets??)

That aside, unfortunately these tablets did not help me, but I have since taken a food intolerance test and been put on an elimination diet which is helping me a lot. So don't be too disappointed if these don't work for you - it may be something else causing your gas!
