Topic: Some people can digest milk, others can't. What about the sugars in beans?

Tyring Vegan started this discussion 12 years ago #38,224

When I eat a lot of legumes (beans, lentils), I get the same symptoms as lactose intolerant people do when they drink milk.

The bible has talk of Jews being able to digest lentils with no problems.

So is this true?

Get a 5lb can of beans at the store. Eat it all at once including the juices. Don't cheat with beano. Can you digest them?

I eat lentils quite often but the majority of my diet is rice. I think you just have to get used to them and they won't be so bad on your stomach. I have no problems with them anymore.

If I don't drink milk for years and start drinking a lot, I get lactose intolerance symptoms but after a couple days I can digest it fine. But with legumes, my body never adapts.

I'm oligosaccharide-intolerant.

That's weird. Milk isn't even meant for human consumption. Maybe you should just eat less beans and more rice.

5lbs is a lot at one sitting.
@OP
I can't digest them either. Also they're mushy and I can't stand mushy food so I never eat them.
