What is the mutualistic relationship between legumes and nodule bacteria?

Why do beans give you gas?

eans (legumes) cause gas because they contain a sugar, oligosaccharide, that the human body can not break down. Oligosaccharides are large molecules and are not broken down and absorbed by the lining of the small intestine as other sugars are. This is because the human body does not produce the enzyme that breaks down oligosaccharides.

Oligosaccharides make it all the way through the GI tract to the large intestine still intact. The bacteria that live in the small intestine break down the oligosaccharides. This produces the gas that must eventually come out of the rectum.

By the same principal, other foods that come into the large intestine without being properly absorbed in the small intestine will cause gas. Stress, for example, can cause food to move through the GI tract too quickly to be properly digested, with the end result being gas in the large intestine.Preventing gas

To prevent gas that is caused by eating beans, the oligosaccharides must be broken down before they reach the large intestine and become food for the resident bacteria. The enzyme that breaks down oligosaccharides is alpha-galactosidase. This enzyme is derived from the fungus Aspergillus Niger and is available under the brand name Beano.

Alpha-galactosidase is not appropriate for people with diabetes, as it may lead to an increase in blood sugar level. People who have mold allergies may have a reaction to alpha-galactosidase. Alpha-galactosidase may increase galactose levels and therefore should not be used by those who have the genetic disease galactosemia.
