Yep. Rancho Gordo bean club member here — when I transitioned from “beans are okay but a lot of work to make a way I enjoy” to “I should make an effort to try a new recipe every two or four weeks”… it took about a month for my stomach to normalize the assault, but now it’s no different than anything with fiber.

Steve Sando, the founder/owner of Rancho Gordo, has been on the podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cooking-issues-with-da...) hosted by the author of this article (Dave Arnold) a few times.

Those episodes are really fun and always result in me eating more beans!

The first rule of bean club is to tell everyone about bean club.

Rancho Gordo beans are great! Yellow Eyes ftw.

Fellow Rancho Gordo bean clubber and I saw the same thing. If I really go hard, like eating them with every meal for most of a week I'll notice it building up but otherwise not really.

Yeah, I eat beans all the time and don’t have any reaction to them. Anecdata but in my experience only people who eat very little beans react to them. But I haven’t researched it.
