I crave beans. Sometimes it is so overwhelming that I will crack open a can of garbanzo beans and eat the whole thing! I believe it is my body telling me something.

The only other major cravings I have are green olives. Probably the salt due to adrenal fatigue.

Beans are a regular staple in my diet, and becomes a larger part of my diet every winter! They are very healthy and a great way to get a lot of protein!

I'll be watching for you to post about your next blood draw!!

I eat a cup of Pinto beans three times a day with no side effects (gas). It is weird that before Lyme I did get bloated and gassy with beans but not after Lyme.

I wonder if it is the change in microflora from the antibiotics or if the probiotics that i take has had an impact as well.

good points......was told the body gets used to this type of food,makes the liver process better.....when my eyes get better and i can research again.....i will post more of that type of info.

one person even mentioned "beans soak up toxins".....that was very interesting (detox gene mutation).

I've eaten beans for a long time, mainly black beans. I soak them overnight in water with with Kombu seaweed to soften the outer part of the beans. I also buy some that have been soaked the same way, for times when I want something quick. Someone said they're good for detoxing, but I don't know that I believe it.

I make a quick meal if I have leftover rice past and some beans. I mix them together and heat them along with some vegetable and salsa to flavor it. It's not too bad and it's satisfying.
