## Resource

869. Beans are gut health gold -- but the same compounds that feed your microbiome are also what cause the gas.

Monica has a more reassuring answer than you might expect.  References: A randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled crossover pilot study: Acute effects of the enzyme α‐galactosidase on gastrointestinal symptoms in IBS patients - Neurogastroenterology & Motility  Effects of Low FODMAP Diet on Symptoms, Fecal Microbiome, and Markers of Inflammation in Patients With Quiescent Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Randomized Trial - PubMed   Nutrition Diva is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, hosted by Monica Reinagel.
