Are the stems of green beans gluten free?

I bought some trimmed green beans from Kroger. Haven’t had a problem with them in the past as far as I know and I know green beans are gluten free. I know that you’re supposed to trim the stem off.

 

I ate one of the stems on accident. Is there anyway that the stem could be not gluten-free? Or am I overthinking it and green beans are gluten free? Thank you.

Hi Stronger than Celiac, in my opinion and this is just that green beans are gluten-free and the stem is as well! They are not from what I understand part of the plant/vegetable that should be eaten but if you do there is not gluten in it as if there were it would be in the green bean as well! All vegetables are gluten-free although normally we don’t eat the stems because the nutritional value is in the vegetable itself not the stems, branches and such! There may be some in there but not enough to warrant eating them opposed to the vegetable! All fruits are gluten-free as well and stems are to! I could maybe see if they were both grown right next to wheat, barley or rye in which cross contamination during growth or harvest may occur but washing them should remove and dust particles from both but that I’m not quit sure of!

The stems are gluten-free, so no worries there!

      Testing for celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility
