Lentils!

Hi guys, I just wondering if anyone has found that lentils can be an easy source of cross contamination? 

 

The particular brand was merchant organic pre-cooked bought at Waitrose.  I am 99% certain they were the issue but I hadn't heard of lentils being a risk in the same way as oats. 

I do share a kitchen so it's a possabity some snuck in but I make sure to pre-rinse everything. 

 

Thanks for your help

Lentil have become more of a CC issue as of late -_- even some gluten-free ones were brought to the attention of GFWD when someone found random grains in their lentils that ended up being a gluten grain.

Extra precautions you can take, dry sort your lentils first, go through dump them out on a paper towel or butcher paper and find anything that doe not belong...find any grains in there play it safe toss the batch. After which you can rinse them well, (make sure you use a dedicated gluten free colander/wire mesh strainer) then cook them.

Ta! 

Gosh darn it! 

Still suffering from a string of cc incidents 4 weeks later...I'm still fairly new at this so am falling into all the obvious traps it seems! 

Thanks for the tips

I'm not sure what your symptoms are when you are cc'd but if you are suffering from pain and D, and you are newly diagnosed, it could just be that your system is still healing and you are finding it hard to deal with this type of fibre.

I was unable to eat lentils for a very long time after my diagnosis - it brought back the same sort of burning pain that affected me when I was still eating gluten.  Now I can eat lentils.

However, I'm still unable to eat pure oats, sad to report, which bring back that burning epigastric pain.  I wish it were the other way round, I miss flapjack and porridge!

Ah ok, the bloating was fairly extreme and immediate.. which is quite unusual for me as normally there is a 24hr delay. Maybe I just overloaded my system.

You can make almond meal, or coconut porridge, there are some instant paleo porridge ready to go grain free ones....you can also use Miracle Rice blended in to give it oatmeal texture. If you miss flap jacks look up coconut flour ones if you want a mix look up Simple Mills Pancakes mix it is grain free and if you need sugar free also look up Julian Bakery Pancake mix. Need Links?

Wow Ennis - that's really helpful.  I do miss flapjacks - these recipes sound great.  Yes please - a link for the flapjack especially.

My homemade recipe is very iffy and I always mix it up and this is a rough estimate. 220g egg whites, 100g nut milk, 2 tbsp coconut flour (not quite level), 2 tbsp ground flax, 1/2tsp baking powder, pinch of stevia/monk fruit. and a bit of extract of choice (I mix this up from egg nog, cheese cake, maple, vanilla, rum...what ever I want) I blend this up with a hand blender and let it set awhile, it gets really thick over night. then you remix up in the morning and use it.
If you want a mix here are some options AND bounus use the top link for a savings on thrive up to 25% your order...they want you to sign up for a sub if you do not have one you can just cancel if you want. This is a list of grain free ones, the bottom one from julian is VERY low carb and no starch so perfect if you have bloating issues/sugar issues like I do.

Thank you so much for this, Ennis.  The receipe sounds great.  Thank you for the links, too.  I'll look out for these in the UK - we do import quite a lot of gluten-free stuff from the States.

There are some that may not agree with me, however, here goes......  Beans (lentils included), oats, quinoa can be difficult to digest.  They can also cause glycemic spikes.  I am not saying not to eat these items, just be aware, especially if you are fairly newly diagnosed.  Eating difficult to digest foods can cause glutened type reactions.  Everyone is different and our reactions are all different.  8 years and I still can't eat oats.  It took me (and I am older......) about 3 years before I could eat beans without the "glutened" feeling.

I think it was the lentils. You said they were pre-cooked. That's where your problem lay. When they were precooked, any gluten grains mixed in with them got cooked into them. If you had gotten dried lentils & carefully sorted & washed them as Ennis instructed then you wouldn't have gotten cross contaminated. In the case of lentils, I would NEVER eat them unless they were dried, not pre-cooked, & I could sort & wash them.

Cool thanks, I will only go for the dry ones in the future. I did find a couple of posts on a different website from someone who had the same issue.

      Gluten migranes at night

      The first symptoms I had of coeliac disease were migraines. I think your doctor needs to test you for coeliac disease. The fact you are having migraines at night is interesting, but I never used to drink enough and my headaches were worse when I woke up in the morning. Dehydration was also a big cause for me.

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      By Debado · Posted

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
