What have I done

After a week eating baked beans, for RS. Painful cramps passing wind. No blood, the pains are intense. Only when passing wind or stool.. Really worried

I think you just have gas. Eating baked beans every day for a week would give me hella wicked gas.

Three days today, it doesn't seem to be easing, I've stopped baked beans two days ago

too many bean need velly velly big fart

These were just tinned baked beans in sauce.. The smell is horrendous, and the pain is worst

Petah -

I would heavily advise against eating canned or tinned beans, as many contain toxins like BPA. They are not prepared or soaked properly and most people (including non-IBDers) will get horrible gas. Believe me, taco bell cleans people out pretty darn well haha. Whole foods has a nice selection of affordable beans for 2.99 - black, pinto, etc.

You have to soak the beans for up to 24 hours and then rinse. After rinsing you cook them for an hour or so, or until they reach the desired softness. Add in salt, garlic and other anti-inflammatories and then all is good. :)

I eat baked beans with few problems (I don't overdo it and I don't eat them every day, maybe a small amount once or twice a week) but I kind of agree with Guardian. I don't really eat them for UC or RS, I just eat them once in a while because I like them. I'm just saying if you're solely eating them specifically for UC or RS then you're probably not going about it the right way. If nothing else the cans are probably very high in sodium and preservatives. I have found that if I eat high sodium foods (which most cans and frozen items contain) it's kind of like rubbing salt on an open wound as it passes by the ulcers in your intestines.

I found I had to introduce beans very slowly... I soaked them overnight and sometimes even longer. I made a big, big batch of navy beans then froze them in small portions. I only ate about 1/4 cup to start off with. I made the mistake once too of eating too much at once right away and it definitely was not a great feeling.

You gotta make the beans. Some folks buy canned bpa free properly prepared beans.. Eden's brand I think.. but it is so much cheaper to do it yourself.

Thanks everyone, I survived the night with very little, sleep.. It's definitely eased off today.. It was wicked, and hands down the worst pain I've felt since having proctitis. It would come and go like contractions with the foulest smelling wind, and only passing the smallest amount .. I should have seen the warning signs on day two.. There's a lot to be said for hot farts

This is why I start with butyrate not RS.

All good.. Thank goodness.. I've never known gas could be so bad.. I've had trapped wind before but this was awful.. Contraction like cramping with every small fart.. I prayed like a ****** and low and behold I woke fine, even tho it had woken me through the night.. Three days it lasted.. It could have only been the beans... It started with hot farts..

Your digestive tract seems to react in a somewhat normal way to pea and bean products.....although there could have been other stuff in the pea protein powder that you were sensitve to as well.

I'd be in gut distress as well.

Please stay away from them. or choose to eat very small amounts.

You could try a rice based protein.
