What are the best ways to make beans less gassy?

My roman empire obsession is that there was never a tradition of red beans and rice on Mondays only until John Folse did a studio deal on PBS and floated that theory. Had never heard that mandate before that day. We ate red beans on whatever day my dad had off to cook, and he never mentioned it being a Monday meal or not. Also, restaurants have served red beans every GD day my whole life. In summation, I do not subscribe to the red-beans-on-Monday theory. I also enjoy the gas after.

Beano

There's a Mexican spice called epazote that is supposed to reduce gas. Also, Beano is supposed to work, too.

Discarding the soak water is a must for me because I add salt to the water. It's supposed to help the skins cook at the same rate as the interior of the beans, so you don't wind up with a bunch of blown out skins floating around in the pot.

Instapot for 1.5hrs and I sauté sausage, trinity in there. I wont do it any other way.

Ear plugs

When my boys were little I was able to get them to eat beans by telling them to think of beans as ammo instead of food.

Works.

The other option is to add a very small amount of amylase, too much and you'll have a pot of sugar.
