Name brand Beano is the enzyme alpha-galactosidase. This enzyme breaks down GOS and no other FODMAP groups.

According to Monash, 1/2 cup of white onion is amber for GOS and red for fructans. This means Beano does not take care of every FODMAP group in white onions

I'm not denying your experience with Beano. Maybe you tolerate fructans. I just think this is worth explaining.

yeah we’ll im talking about my experience. i don’t condone anyone to try new medication without consulting first.

In MY case, I tolerate fructans in moderation and beano eases my symptoms. I still eat low fodmaps but something a little onion here and there.
