I recently ate home-prepared lentils and was glutened.  I'm sure it was cross-contaminated because I got my characteristic stomach pain and then diarrhea.  I buy my quinoa and millet from Bob's Red Mill, but they don't produce legumes that are certified gluten free.  Is there a place to buy dry lentils, chickpeas, etc that are batch tested for gluten?

I buy Arrowhead Mills certified gluten-free red lentils from Vitacost.com.  I see they also have certified gluten-free dry chickpeas.

Thanks for the tip! It probably makes sense to look for "gluten-free" on many alternative grains, flours, beans, legumes, seeds, etc., due to the risk of cross-contamination during transportation, or in various packing areas.

      I’ve had on and off swelling of a salivary gland below my jaw - sialoadenitis.  It was very visible when it swelled though.

      Thanks for getting back to us Geordie. From time to time we do get reports of what seems like remission from those who have been diagnosed with celiac disease but it doesn't always last. I don't recall you saying you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, but just having various food intolerances and also implying in your last post that these intolerances are autoimmune related. So, I don't know where you are with celiac disease which is an autoimmune disorder.

      Update: Just realised i never updated this post with a major development. since May 2023 i can now eat whatever i want 7 days a week. I accidentally ate the same type of food two days in a row and suffered no reaction so immediately realised my body had recovered. And of all places to discover it i was in a 5 star resort in Greece where there was all you can eat breakfast lunch and dinner buffets so yeah you can maybe imagine i tucked in nicely after so many years of not being able to. Been about 18 months now with zero reactions so even though the modern medical way of thinking is that auto immune disease cant be cured....my stomach says different.

      Thanks.  So something has come up on his blood tests and I have an appointment to discuss the findings on Monday. My son has been soya free and dairy free for a while as we did York food testing to check for allergies intolerances.

      Hi @sh00148 I am so glad that your son is going to have a blood test next week.    If the blood test is that soon, and he has been consuming normal levels of gluten up until now, he should have had enough exposure to gluten to test positive should you decide to stop the gluten immediately, as Scott suggest.  However, one thing you may wish to change in the short term instead/as well is to stop him consuming dairy products.  If he is a coeliac, he may have become temporarily dairy intolerant.  The tips of the villi, which line the gut and are damaged in coeliacs, produce lactase, an enzyme essential for the digestion of dairy.  If they are damaged it can contribute to diarrhea and gas.  I had this some months after my own coeliac diagnosis, and it improved no end when I gave up dairy for a while.  Once on a gluten free diet they heal, and most coeliacs can return to consuming dairy. I would have thought that with those bowel issues in a young child what is happening to him is entirely normal.
