Help me! I had black beans last night...

[Meshuga]

and now I'm farting 6-7 times per minute from the time I woke up! It was fun in the begining but now it's getting old.

Do you know of any good remedies?

1. find yourself a quiet place

where you wont disturbe anybody and just fart it out.

4. Maybe I should call sick...

People at work won't like me today.

2. Hovering under your own power, huh?

Down in Texas, we never let a bean feast foul up our day. That's why we always make sure we take Beano with our beans. Yes, just a few Beano pills can ensure that those evil fumes never develop and live to see the light of day outside your dung hatch. That's Beano. B-E-A-N-O.</commercial>

In the meantime, don't you wish we could harness the raw energy of farts and use them to power our cities and vehicles? Just another type of windpower!

6. I could provide electricity to my entire town!

3. 1 teaspoon of baking soda...

stirred in a glass of water--drink it. Then, if you eat them again, just add a dash of baking soda to them. I had them last night too, but am not having that particular problem. Did you soak them overnight first? That helps to get rid of a lot of the gasses.

5. I soaked them but it didn't work...

Maybe I should keep changing the water while it's soaking.

8. Well...

perhaps you just have a bean intolerance. I don't use Beano because I'm a strict vegetarian, but I hear it works. BTW, if the gas is really that bad and you have to work and all, you can take up to 2 Tablespoons of baking soda in an 8 ounce glass of water to help. Or if you can't stomach the idea of drinking that, get some Gas-X or some other gas relief pills (on edit: make sure it specifies it helps intenstinal gas). Of course if your co-workers annoy you, this may be the perfect passive aggressive way to take vengence on them. :)

7. Beano...........

unfortunately only works before or while eating all things gaseous. Black beans rip me a new one every time. I don't seem to have the problem with other beans, just Blackbeans.

9. If life gets too difficult

light a match to your stinky ass and blow yourself up!!! :crazy:

10. Whatever you do ,

don't hold them in . Let them out .

11. I can sympathize...

Just spent 4 days in Mexico...had black beans just about every day. Fortunately, I live in Texas, where nobody notices.

It will work itself out in a day or so.
