Beano might work, but the digestive enzymes in it are largely those that work if beans are your problem.  There are more multi-spectrum digestive enzymes that target a wider range of possible problems.  But it does seem you have a dietary problem that experimentation with what you're eating, how much you chew your food, how quickly you eat, how soon before going to bed you eat, and the like should resolve.

Not correct. Beano is just the name but their site says it works "in gassy foods, like fresh vegetables, whole grain breads and beans, -
I used it lots of times for whole grain foods etc.
Don't believe advertising, Anxious.  I sold this product when it first came out, as I spent 18 years managing health food stores.  Different digestive enzymes digest different things, and this one specializes in digesting certain sugars present in beans but also in other foods that are very hard for some people to digest.  But when you don't know what the problem is, there are complexes of enzymes, such as Vibragest by Nature's Plus to name one, that are a large aggregation of digestive enzymes so you don't have to guess what's causing the problem.  Which is to say, Beano might help this person, but there's a reason they named it Beano, just as people who have a problem digesting protein take papaya enzyme -- but it only helps with digesting certain proteins -- and people with dairy problems take lactase, etc.  It's just easier to take a multi-spectrum one than guess while in the meantime you work on figuring out what's causing the problem and change your diet to eliminate the problem.  Peace.
Works for me.

Try OTC Beano which is pretty cheap considering how many problems it would solve for you.
