Soak beans in water with a bit of baking soda, for 18 hours. Drain and rinse very well. Proceed with recipe.

Soak as long as you can. Also change the water as many times as you can on the hour. You will be amazed what comes out after 5 times!

Rinsed canned beans (canned is already cooked at a high temperature). Or dried beans brought to a boil with a bay leaf and soak for 24 hours.

The enzyme you're looking for is alpha galactosidase. It's in Beano and in other digestive enzymes combos. Check your local health food store.
Rinse beans, soak overnight, don't cook in the soaking water, drain them first.
Cook beans with any of these: seaweed (kombu, dulse), cumin, coriander, fennel seed, aniseed, mint. These herbs are carminative (gas-reducing).

As others said, soaking and changing the water is important. I try to also buy beans from stores that have a lot of turnover and fresh supplies; if dried beans sit around for too long they are harder to cook and digest. When I cook them, I boil them and then strain, rinse, and boil again.

Rinsing canned beans does not help us. But I’ll try the bay leaf idea. Thank you!
