Do you mean you want the Padma Purana story. You can get it here http://www.veda.harekrsna.cz/encyclopedia/ekadasi.htm

but its exactly because you can eat grains on ekadasi you need to fast, if you could not eat anything then you will follow ekadasi automatically... :-)

i heard wen i was quite young, this may be very wrong, but from what i heard may not have anything to do with ekadashi directly, but apparently indra commited some sin and it got transferred or something into the sap of trees, womans menstrual cycle and grains on ekadashi? how true is this?

sin personified enters grains and beans on Ekadasi

so avoid them

i have read that many times

Krishna is transcendental so you can offer grains and beans on Ekadasi

but you cant eat them on Ekadasi

Heres the story
