Can navy beans go bad between being made into soup on Sunday and being
eaten on Tuesday? The soup has been refrigerated the whole time during the
interim.

The reason I ask is, I had a bowl of leftover soup today. Tonight, my
waist measurement has to be approaching 80 inches, and Crash tells me I'm
burping methane. It ain't pretty.

Is it likely the soup, or should I be looking elsewhere for the cause of
this? Whatever it is, I don't want a repeat of tonight's performance.

Thanks,

Probably the beans. The starches are breaking down into sugars.

Thanks, -L. A few minutes after posting this query, I threw the rest of
the soup into the trash.

I never knew how to spell "Pffffoot!" before. LOL!

Thanks again. From now on, we eat the stuff the day it's cooked, then
freeze the rest so it can't sit in the fridge fermenting or whatever the
heck it was doing.

IME, a couple days in the fridge is all beans can tak, max. If you
presoak them and wash them well, it extends the life a day or so, but
not much more. Add ham, and for some reason, it's even worse.

Are you kidding? I keep bean soup in the fridge for a week.

Unless the soup tasted bad, its just your body's inability to digest
the carbs in the beans. If the soup was good, get yourself a bottle of
Beano, or add meat tenderizer to the beans when you cook them.

Beans beans
they're good for your heart
the more you eat
the more you fart.

If you can stand the methane breath(or if Crash can), the beans act
like little fatmops, sucking up the fat in your arteries and whisking
it away.

We've found that they can go off very quickly once cooked down that soft.
Made a bean, lentil and ham soup not long ago on a weekend and left a bowl
full, covered on the side in the kitchen for nearly 2 days - we just forgot.
Anyhow, came to clean up, found it, lifted the cover, as I was inhaling. I
just got to the yard fast enough to not puke all the hell over the kitchen
floor, then Kath came in and saw me heaving and nearly puked all over the
kitchen herself. Gotta be one of the most foul rotten stenches I've
smelled/tasted in quite a long time. Sounds like yours hadn't gone near that
far though!

You know, Carol, that's why I tend to shy away from making
pots of bean soup, the leftovers get all thick and icky looking.
Luckily it's pretty cheap so you don't lose a lot in tossing the
leftovers.

This seems very unlikely. I would expect the beans to be good for 5-7
days, at least on their own. It may be that whatever you have in the
soup with the beans may have done something?

I'd look elsewhere or consider if you have consumed something that is
interacting with the beans.

Is it just the gas and bloating or more symptoms? Seriously I doubt the
beans were off that quick but I might suspect one of the other
ingredients like ham. The reason for this is we bought pizza from a new
establishment a couple of weeks ago. DH had gas & bloating, I had those
symptoms as well as nausea and the runs. My stomach is fairly sensitive
so at the time we didn't attribute it to the pizza. This past weekend
the kids were home so we ordered 2 pizzas one with ham and one without
from this place again as well as wings & hot sauce. Out of 8 of us, 6
had symptoms including the gas, bloating, nausea, and runs. That is too
much of a co-incidence. The only things in common all of us ate was
pizza with sausage & ham. The only ones problem free were the 2 that
didn't eat the ham pizza so I'm thinking the ham was bad or it could
possibly be that that particular pizza picked up some contaminants from
the counter. I'd still suspect the ham.

Exactly. That couple days business is nonsense. Soaking and rinsing them
is irrelevant. Ham added while cooking will have no effect like this.
The boiling will sterilize the whole business.

I'd say look elsewhere for the causes of that bloating. A bit of "post
hoc, propter hoc" reasoning. After this, therefore, because of this.

And if it were fermenting, a return to a boil for a few minutes would
have eliminated it.

You'll probably want to refrigerate things with lots of starches in them
that you plan on eating in the future. And proteins. And fats. See the
pattern...? <G>

Carol.... don't you have any Beano? Bean soup doesn't go bad after 2
days.

Well of _course_ I can see the pattern Bob - this wasn't left there to eat
later, it was merely forgotten amongst the clutter of a very busy few days!
I'm a knowledgeably guy generally, not to mention I studied microbiology for
a while some time ago... mind you most of my study time was taken up with
the burning of plant matter and inhaling the resultant smoke... so... yeah,
best forget about what I can't remember, heheheheh...

I only mentioned the bowl of rancid stuff by way of an example of how fast
these kinds of things can turn nasty... REAL nasty... heheheh...

CHEERS!

Shaun aRe

Thanks everyone! The flatulence has passed (no pun intended).

Shortly after I posted about this problem, my computer up and died.
Crash commandeered Kidzilla's birthay gift (new computer and hard
disc), and built a new system for me. We owe Kidzilla a new computer.

I have only Internet Explorer so far, so if anyone needs to contact me,
please do it through my address.

I'll get caught up when I have Agent again.

Let's hope that Rita won't be the enormous disaster that Katrina was.
But I'm not holding my breath. :-(

I use a lot of Parkay margarine tubs augmented with Glad freezer
containers. And a large chest freezer.

The cause of my bloating and methane gas burps has been identified.
The bean soup has been declared, "Not Guilty."

It seems I have a bad reaction to Cheerios! At this very moment, I am
dying. Or wishing I were. Who knew?

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in to let folks know that they don't have
to be careful in the extreme with their bean products.

I told you Cheerios makes my pee smell funny! And yep, gives me heartburn,

Did you have milk with those Cheerios? Perhaps you've developed a
lactose intolerance? It isn't unheard of to develop one later in life.
My mother developed it after her hysterectomy.
Try some Lactaid.

We have Lactaid on hand for Crash. I'll give it a shot. But I'm very
wary of Cheerios at this point (this is painful!). I'll try with a
different cereal.

Kili, I don't have your lovely symptoms, thank goodness!

Thanks!

I'm not sure yet, but I did run an informal experiment last night. I
ate some of Crash's Fruit Loops, and didn't have a problem. So I don't
think it's the milk. I've gotta read the list of ingredients on the
Cheerios and see what's what. I eat oatmeal all the time, so it's
gotta be something besides the oats.
