What Causes Bean-Induced Flatulence? Before one can decide what to test, we need to know what we're looking for. Most toot-inducing foods contain ingredients called FODMAPs (an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols—quite a mouthful). Humans cannot digest FODMAPs, but bacteria in our gut can. The byproduct of that bacterial digestion is gas. The FODMAPs that make beans the musical fruit are a small group of oligosaccharides (complex sugars). In theory, if you can reduce the amount of those oligosaccharides in your beans, you can reduce the amount of gas they produce.

This is somewhat onomatopoeic.
