Most dieticians teach that the best way to reduce bean-related flatulence is to regularly eat small portions of beans. The stomach will slowly learn how to process the legumes, and over time, even vast quantities should not cause gas. Starting out with a big bowl of beans is likely to cause problems, even if they were soaked or exposed to baking soda.
Yeah, really, People eat burritos all the time with refried beans, etc. So it must be ok for some to eat them. Black beans are popular now to put in salads, etc.
