alt Hacker NewsYes. You just eat beans a lot. After a few months it stops making you gassy until you eat a type of bean you have never eaten before and then you are back to square one.

I was very surprised to see that the article explicitly says it will not consider this answer!
well if your solution is to eat beans with 3/4 meals and I STILL need to social distance for a few months while I acclimate then that's not really the best solution now is it?
YMMV and people differ. Source: vegetarian who eats a lot of beans too. Beanzyme is a lifesaver.

What causes this? Gut microbiome adapting? Doesn't that imply there should be some probiotic-type supplement you can take to seed these bacteria and keep them alive even when not eating beans?
Exactly. The gut microbiome adjusts and cultivates bacteria that feeds more efficiently or even cross feeds on gases produced by other bacteria.
Correct, signed another vegan :)
Unscientifically, it feels like your gut microbiome adjusts to it after a while!
Reminds me of the cure for lactose intolerance: You just have to keep drinking milk until your microbiomes adapts.
