Has anybody tried Beano for intestinal gas?
Does it work?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Beano contain gluten?

I don't know the answer but here's their phone number 800-257-8650

One word of caution, if you have allergy to mold and pennicillin you cannot use Beano.

Last time I checked the newer labels of Beano state that it contains wheat. The old labels did not have this warning. This is from their website:

I tried to give a link but the site will not let me, it keeps inserting 'lame advertisement' so I have pasted what it said.

Does Beano® work on gluten?

No. Beano® will not work on any protein, including gluten. Beano® only works on breaking down the complex sugars found in many foods.

Does Beano® contain gluten?

The smallest amount of gluten that can be chemically detected in a product is 0.00016 percent. Results of our testing have shown that Beano® contains less than 0.00016 percent gluten. Although the amount of gluten in Beano® is less than the limit of detection, we would recommend that individuals who have concerns about the use of Beano® speak with their physician.


I would not touch it.

Beano has gluten. Try a high quality enzyme from a natural food store. One that helps to process protiens, dairy, carbs, sugars etc.

Thanks all, I'll be looking for a good enzyme instead
