Beans create a lot of gas but here is a tip: Rinse them in water. That takes a coating off the beans that create gas. This should help a lot. I am not sure if it will also work with lentils but I think that it will. You can also eat many other things like nuts and tofu for protein. Of course you want to balance your protein with fruits and veggies.

Try eating the beans without any other complex carbs especially wheat. Maybe with some fresh salad instead and some oil and vinegar dressing. If that works try having them with brown rice. Often it is what you are eating with the beans that makes them harder to digest. You can always have your wholegrains at seperate meal.
