Hello. My husband has an extremely sensitive stomach. He can’t eat meat, and so I would love to make him vegan “meat” dishes.
However, he’s sensitive to gassy foods and very heavy foods.
I have 2 questions:
1. Do you have any specific recipe recommendations?
2. Is there a way I can make recipes with chickpeas, beans, etc, not so gassy?
Thank you so much
Make sure to soak your beans for a few hours, rinse and soak overnight in freshwater & about 1 tsp baking soda, drain, rinse, and cook in a pressure cooker; maybe add a few bay leaves.
oh these are so good, haven’t tried them all yet (a vegan for 40+yrs) but cooked a lot of them close to the recipes here. I’ll print some of them out and try them in the near future, Thanks !
Thank you so much for all of these wonderful, easy to make vegan recipes. Without your recipes to continually go to, I’d eat SO much more processed, low nutrition vegan food. Keep up the great work! I sincerely appreciate you all!

Hi Atara, pressure cooking the beans or chickpeas may help. We’d suggest checking out @theguthealthmd for more guidance too!
