legumes

Hi Jeff,
My husband gets a lot of gas from eating legumes and brassicas. He is 74 and has trouble digesting protein. Any suggestions?
He is 5'11" and only weighs 54kg.

Thanks Jeff. My husband has been dealing with gas problems his whole life but I'll try some of those supplements you suggest.

It would be best to try the dietary adjustments first which are often more then enough
