Any recommendations for alternatives to black beans?

I can’t eat black beans, I don’t digest them well. See lots of it in stool undigested. I use to get extreme gas all day long after eating beans but since probably my micro biome was destroyed or out of whack the past three years, no gas at all. Indicates no good bacteria to digest it. Been having complications with gut and constipation majorly for past three years but have had those problems all my life but never had to take laxatives or major discomfort and mental effects.

John, beans are very beneficial because of the soluble fibre and its ability to detox the old bile. Sometimes starting from a very small amount - like 1 teaspoon - and increasing it slowly over a long time is a ways to do it. Psyllium husk is also rich in soluble fibre but it doesn’t have the nutrients present in beans. There are other types of pulses you could try but you might have the same reaction so start slowly and increase.
I wonder if anyone here has a least of the beans that have zero or very low vitamin A?

@john I also can't eat beans or any foods high in FODMAP basically.. I do just parboiled brown rice, white rice and if I feel I need some fiber I take some psyllium.. It is much better than forcing legumes or something and having bloated stomach, having gas etc.. It is not just uncomfortable, but that endotoxin from bacteria is crazy toxic to the liver and we need happy liver.. Also people with constipation do better on less fiber not more.. Do some brown rice maybe buckwheat, quinoa, millet.. and make sure you are eating some fats like olive oil. That will stimulate new bile production and flow. Fiber is useless if you are doing low fat..

Thanks for the olive oil tip. I tend to agree with you in the fiber issue. Did a lot of fiber and screwed up my gut further. After reading Fiber Menace I realized where I went wrong and why. Got rid of fiber and I’m recovering but back to using lactulose/miralax for now. Just losing a lot of weight from just rice and meat and sadly some broccoli and then cabbage.

Thanks I may start beans again later as you recommended when I start getting regular again and recover from way too much fiber and complicated my gut further. Lots of stinging pain that’s that’s slowly subsiding after nearly two weeks. I know I have a tight junction point at my sigmoid colon area for whatever reason. Hope it’s cakes nuts or food or even biofilm rather than cancer or inflamed thickened scar tissues.

Cauliflower and parsnip have folate, which is the most valuable and significant nutrient that is plentiful in beans.

Hmm ok. Haven’t tried cauliflower since 18 months ago. It might have given me the biggest mental reaction. It has high thiols and some mercury toxic people can react badly to it according to Andy Cutler Protocol but i may try it again to see if it does it a second time.

It's from the brassica genus so it can be quite toxic to the thyroid. Although probably less so than beans. Try cooking it for a long time, at least 40 minutes, and maybe it will be less problematic as most of the goitrogens get broken down. I don't know anything about thiols. You might have more luck with parsnips, they're not from the cabbage family and maybe they have less thiols too.
