Acclimatization
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.
This is what I have heard also. The more you eat beans, the less trouble you will have with gas. And they are so good and good for you. Several times a week should do the trick.
