Re: Still to early for beans?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

> My son hasn't eaten beans for 8 months. I gave him some navy

beans last week and he had some gas afterward. Does this mean that

it's still too early for him to eat beans? I didn't notice any other

type of reaction.

constipation has improved so that now, instead of every 3 days with

partial movenments, he goes every other day with normal BM's.

It sounds as if your son has made wonderful progress.

Gas with the beans would seem to point to him not being ready for

them yet. It may be best to wait a few weeks at least before trying

again. (were the beans soaked 8-10 hrs before cooking?)
