Beans contain high concentration o fiber(The parts of fruits and vegetables that cannot be digested) and the sugar oligosaccharide which takes alot time to break down/digest, with some some fermentation taking place which releases gas so we all produce gas in the stomach from chemical reactions btw food and stomach acid. the LES(lower esophageal sphincter) has to occasionally open to release this gas as a burp or belch. if the stomach is particularly full of acid at the time, it will be carried into the esophagus and cos heartburn and you know beans don't digest in time I think that is what is causing your heartburn all you need to do is drinking lots of water will wash the beans through your system quicker and exercise will help tone all muscles including those that help fiber into and though the intestines.

Note: frequent heartburn isn't good, it can damage your esophagus and could lead to esophagus cancer. pls if beans cause you heartburn you can try to do away or restrict the number of times and quantities you eat.

chocolateme:
thanks Nickyvil, I appreciate, will put that in mind.

chocolateme:
I keep experiencing heartburn anytime I eat beans, thought it was due to a medical condition but nothing is wrong with me. I thought maybe something has gone wrong in my system.
Someone said it happens to cancer, asthmatic or hypertensive people but I noticed its common especially with beans.
Whats the cause and remedy? Can it be avoided? I even chill the beans in the fridge after cooking before eating but it won't stop. Is it from the beans? Med experts, let me in on some knowledge of it pls.

beatz5:
its not about beans per say although beans is the culprit
beans is proteinous and in digestion of protein there will be increase acid production and if this acid moves upward u will feel it in the chest
if u want to eat beans I suggest u have milk by the side

Cwhyte:

Do you know why it is like that for some people?

xhandra:
I'm also having severe heart burn, and it just happened after I ate white beans. I'm just fed up

MissIndependent:
Avoid white beans white beans is only used for moi moi or akara not for cooking just like that.

Whenever you want to eat beans, go for oloyin or honey brown beans parboil very well and wash like rice, cook well before eating. That is the secret
