  • Summary

Why do beans cause gut symptoms in IBS? 

You may experience uncomfortable gut symptoms after eating beans due to their FODMAP content.

The main types are galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructans (1). 

The small intestine poorly absorbs FODMAPS. When FODMAPs then get to your large bowel, they are fermented by your gut bacteria. 

In most people, this will result in, a bit of wind and bloating. However, in IBS this may leave you with extreme bloating and abdominal pain (2). You can read more about bloating and abdominal pain here.

What beans can you eat on the low FODMAP diet?

You can actually still enjoy beans on the low FODMAP diet. The key is to keep within the recommended serving sizes to prevent gut symptoms.

According to Monash, the following beans can be included:

  • Canned adzuki beans
  • Boiled mung beans
  • Canned butter beans or lima beans 
  • Sprouted mung beans
  • Sprouted red kidney beans
  • Canned garbanzo beans

For portion sizes that are low in FODMAPs, check out the Monash app. If portion sizes exceed this, this could trigger your IBS symptoms.

Does the preparation of beans affect the FODMAP content?

Yes, the amount of FODMAPs in beans is affected by preparation and cooking methods.

FODMAPs are water-soluble. When beans are canned in water or brine, some of the FODMAPs leach out into the water. You can drain and rinse the canned beans before consumption to wash away these FODMAPS (4). This won’t completely rid them of FODMAPS, though.

If using dried beans, you can simply soak them overnight to get a similar effect.

After boiling beans in water, the water becomes higher in FODMAPs (5). This means that boiling first can help reduce their FODMAP content by releasing them into the cooking water, remember to drain and rinse!

Are green beans low FODMAP? 

According to the Monash app, green beans are low OK in servings of 75g (around 15 whole beans). In larger quantities, they become high in the FODMAP sorbitol. 

Try out Monash’s potato salad with green beans and mustard vinaigrette!

Are black beans low FODMAP? 

Canned, drained and rinsed black beans are classified as low FODMAP at 40g (about 1 cup) according to Monash University. 

Have you tried these low FODMAP sweet potato tacos with black beans before? 

5 low FODMAP recipes with beans 

Beans are nutritious and high in fibre. This means that you won’t miss out on the nutrients they provide whilst on the low FODMAP diet.

Here are some delicious low recipes for you to try out:

  1. Low FODMAP chilli con Carne
  2. Courgette, pepper & black bean fajitas with spiced rice
  3. Turkey and black bean low FODMAP quesadillas
  4. Vegan Tuscan bean soup
  5. Low FODMAP vegetable pasta & bean soup

You can also try adding canned beans to your salads, stews, casseroles, keeping them within the recommended serving size.

Summary

You do not need to completely restrict beans on the low FODMAP diet.  Fortunately, you can still enjoy them as part of your diet by following some simple steps and reducing the portion sizes. 

This provides you with a great source of fibre and nutrients whilst on the low FODMAP diet.

We hope you enjoy trying out these bean recipes!

😬 Anyone relate? πŸ’© Many people I talkt to a 😬 Anyone relate?

πŸ’© Many people I talkt to are trying to manage their IBS through restriction. The irony being that even with avoiding multiple foods, they still have symptoms.

πŸ™ Whilst you may have some food intolerances, it shouldn't be multiple. A restrictive diet will worsen your gut health. Instead of avoiding multiple foods and Still having symptoms adopt the Take Control approach of following the low FODMAP diet to identify specific food triggers and tolerance levels.

πŸ˜ͺ When following a low FODMAP diet, consuming enough fibre may be challenging as often high fibre foods are restricted. However, eating enough fibre is essential for helping bulk and soften stools! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🀩 Life should not have to be this challenging! ​​​​​​​​Using the Take Control 2.0 approach can allow you to discover foods and drinks which you can tolerate to improve your fibre intake - which is so important for gut health!​​​​​​​​

πŸ’© Including wholegrain, oily fish, plenty of veggies, fruits, nuts and olive oil is easy with a few tweaks to any diet!

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
πŸ€” In reality, people like to over complicate exercise. This is why we use the term 'movement' in the Take Control method. Avoid the confusion and keep it simple by going for a daily 30 min gentle walk and you will see the benefits!​​​​​​​​

🀰 Bloating is a common symptom for those suffering with uncontrolled IBS. Having bloating which is unpredictable and there everyday will make you feel tired, impact your relationship with your body and give you real anxiety about eating food.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

⁉️ Have you heard of these symptoms before?

😳 Both of these symptoms can be caused by a few things and one of them is bowel cancer. But we don't know based on symptoms alone so please go and get checked.

🩸Blood can appear on a toilet tissue, in the toilet bowl or it can look like part or all of your stool is black.

βš–οΈ Unexplained weight loss means that you have lost weight despite eating adequate calories and not really changing your exercise routine. It can be common in IBS to lose weight but this is due to eating less food and so it is explainable.

πŸ™πŸ™ If you have either of these symptoms please see your doctor to get checked, don't take the chance.

😫 Suffering from IBS can be difficult and burdensome especially when trying to go about your daily life. IBS is a condition that cannot be seen which makes it even more difficult for others to understand and can often feel very isolating😒. 

πŸ‘‰ Instead of keeping this condition to yourself, adopt the Take Control principle of community and get support from people who also have this condition. You can do this by opening up to friends (1 in 10 people have this!) or joining  online FB groups - this way you won't feel so alone in your fight!

😞 IBS is a very complex disorder to navigate by yourself. It’s more than just altering your diet, a lot of factors are at play with your IBS. Trying to work out what triggers your IBS is an absolute mind field.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Adopting the Take Control Method, where the 4 pillars of IBS relief are all addressed (diet, movement, mental health and sleep), has helped so many of my clients to achieve that ultimate symptom relief because it considers EVERYTHING, not just what you out in your mouth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
