Beano is not like a medication that works on your gut function, but actually on the food. So, no you do not want to take it on a schedule, but with food. If you take it when you are not eating, it does not do anything, because it is not in contact with the food. It sort of is like adding extra help to your own digestive enzymes that are released when there is food in your stomach. Mostly, take it with carb meals, which probably is just about every time you eat. I don't think it works on protein or fat.

Same thing with lactase pills you take with dairy.
