Oligosaccharides are also the component in beans which produces gas. I remembered Alton Brown referenced a way to combat the problem on Good Eats, this is from a transcript of the relevant portion:
"What we do know for sure is that certain kinds of mold produce an enzyme called, alphagalactosidase, which can digest oligosaccharides. So, you can either eat this [piece of moldy bread] with your beans, or you can sprinkle on a few drops of one the commercial applications containing the same enzyme. Either way, you'll be able to digest the whole thing. Temporarily."
I found the enzyme for sale on amazon. If it really bothers you it might be worth a try.
No. Take this with your oats . It's the generic variety of Beano. It contains the enzyme our bodies don't have to digest some types of food. Without it you will fart your face off, take a big dose.
It doesn't have to be this particular brand, but this stuff should help you:-)
