Comment:
I get gas very very easily. I take 2 beano before each meal and it seems to work great. Now my only concern is that my stool has become very dark & heavy. Not sure if this is a side-effect from this product or not.

Comment:
Many foods give me serious gas. My employees don't want to come in my office! BEANO WORKS FOR ME!! For me it is MUCH MORE effective if I take ONE with food, one thirty minutes later, and with certain foods a third even later. Taking two or three at once wasn't very effective.

I use it to cook beans and it really takes the "gas effect" out of them. Very pleased with the results.

Comment:
I have found that Beano works for me sometimes, but not as consistently as I would like. I have had some random abdominal pains since using it regularly and I wonder if it's related.

Comment:
I have taken Beano twice as directed and both times began projectile vomiting and diarrhea about 2 hours after eating. The only common thing in each event was the Beano. The events continued until I was totally cleaned out ... about 1.5 hours.
