I went to the supermarket and bought a variety of beans. I heard that eating too many beans can cause indigestion. Is this true?

    Beans have long been regarded as healthy food, but it is not known that excessive consumption of it will cause indigestion. Oligosaccharides such as stachyose and raffinose contained in legumes are fermented by intestinal bacteria and can decompose to produce some gas, which in turn causes hiccups, bowel sounds, bloating, abdominal pain and other symptoms.
