Possible Legume Intolerance?

Thanks to jerseyangel in the long post about night sweats, I think I may be legume intolerant. I don't eat soy (9which is a legume) and i've been noticing for awhile I don't seem to tolerate peanuts very well. I went through my food journal and it looks like the nights I haave the worst sweats are the days I have eaten peanuts/peanut butter.

Last night was the clincher though- I had aa BumbleBar which has peanuts and I felt a little funky after i ate it but last night I absolutely soaked the bed, today my gas smells and my joints ache.

juliem mentioned it could be the mold in peanuts I am reaacting too as well but I'm wondering if I can tolerate soy or peanuts, should I cut out ALL legumes. I'd hate to give up chickpeas, hummus, beans in my chili, but if I have to I will.

What are other legumes? Peanuts, soy, lentils, kidney beans. Are there any beans that aren't legumes? What tastes as good or almost as good as peanut butter (almond butter?). I've never tried any of the other nut butters.

Thanks ! Beverly

As to almond butter - it tastes very good on sandwiches and the like; not so good as peanut butter right from the jar. One idea is to get it raw instead of roasted. It is very gooey, but is healthier. The taste, though, might be better in the roasted kind, I've not had it.

Beverly - do you have MS, by any chance?

Cashew butter and macadamia butter are very good, too.

I use cashew butter (raw) instead of peanut butter.

One of my intolerances, I think it is yeast but not totally sure, causes joint pain for me.

Personally, I avoid all beans and peanut butter. I still eat green beans and peas with few problems but the rest, I won't even add them to the chili. I make a very hearty chili and beans would be nice added back in, but really, nobody misses them. Also, my hubby and oldest cannot have beans either.

No- I don't have MS. fibromyaalgia though. Curious why you asked. Is there a connection?

it is not really recommended for people with MS to consume a lot of legumes, that is why I asked.

oh phew! i thought there was some connection between being legume intolerant and having MS. I do have Fibromyalgia and it definitely makes me achier. Thanks for clarifying that. :)

Berneses,

I agree with Bully4You that almond butter is gooey. Its not as thick and easy to work with like peanut butter, it's more runny. I usually get raw almond butter from Maranatha at the health food store. When you first open the jar the oil is all separated from it and you have to stir it up to mix the oil back in, but then I keep it in the fridge and the cold temp 'sets' it up a little bit. It's a good idea to start with small amounts to see how you do.

Thank you- I bought some Maranatha today (because I loved their pb) and it's in the fridge but it will be there for awhile before I try it out- I start a week-long exam for my degree on Friday and cannot be careful enough right now! Thanks for all your advice! B

to everyone,

almond butter is pricey (well, it canada it is), and i get a huge thing of it from costco (marantha brand) fora fraction of the cost from any grocer/health food store.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome, @Morgan Tiernan, The best thing to clear my dermatitis herpetiformis is to take Niacin, Vitamin B 3, the form called nicotine acid, the kind that causes flushing of the skin.  Flushing Niacin clears my skin quickly.   Yes, the flushing might seem really strange, but it opens the tiny capillaries in the surface of the skin which helps remove the antibodies that gather in those pustules.  The flushing lessens the longer Niacin is taken, but still works at keeping the blisters away.   Be sure to take a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamin , Vitamin B 1.  Covid, shingles and other infections like strep throat deplete our Thiamine quickly.  Having frequent infections can indicate low Thiamine.  We have a higher metabolic demand during infections, physical trauma or surgery, emotional and mental stress, and while physically active like dancing.    Thiamine has anti-virus and antibacterial properties.  The eight essential B vitamins work together.  Taking Benfotiamine in addition to the B Complex is safe and nontoxic.  Excess B vitamins are easily excreted because they are water soluble.  New Celiacs are often low in vitamins and minerals due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D can help calm the immune system.  Following a low histamine Paleo diet , like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sara Ballantyne, a Celiac herself, is also very helpful.  Steroids lower histamine, but the low histamine AIP diet is safer.   This research may be old, but Flushing Niacin does work!!! Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/ P.S. Wearing natural fibers helps my dermatitis herpetiformis.  Synthetic fibers keep sweat next to the skin, causing further irritation.  Natural fibers wick moisture away, keeping skin dry and exfoliated.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hey @Rogol72! thanks for your very helpful response. Those videos are great and super educating! I’ve forwarded them to my family members too as often it can be very difficult to explain to those around you just what you’re going through. Though, I’m fortunate that they’re super supportive and keen to help me get to the bottom of the problem. Interesting how you mentioned soaps and shower gels irritating too! Is it better to rinse off the sweat straight after exercising just with some cool water? Additionally, is minimising soap in those areas during showering helpful too? Or is there a particular soap that may be helpful! I have some more questions about dapsone too, if you don’t mind me asking. As mentioned in my response to Trents, I take prednisolone for when I am glutened or when my symptoms become too unbearable. With oral steroids it’s usually a 4 week dose as I have to reduce my dose to slowly come off them. How long can you take dapsone for? Can it impact your immune system in the same way as oral steroids (I have to be super careful I don’t pick up any infections whilst on my steroids as my immune system is compromised.) Yes, I’m from South Wales in the UK. Though my grandfather is Irish, explaining my surname (very well spotted!)

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      Hi Trents, thank you so much for your help and support. Yes it’s not ideal from my surgery practice. This is just one of the many problems I have experienced with them, we’ve had to pay to go to a private consultant now instead (I’m from South Wales in the UK, spot on about the spelling of “coeliac”! I completely forgot there was another way of spelling it around the world!) The dermatologist I have been seeing over the last few months has been amazing. And thank goodness for places like google and forums like these, I don’t think I would’ve ever thought it could be gluten! Interesting about the iodine. I’ll definitely start to limit this out of my diet. It makes sense as the places of irritation are places I sweat or pressure points (wrists, waist etc.) Dapsone was mentioned in my last appointment also. He’s reluctant to put me on it just yet, probably just until this biopsy is done so we can confirm for definite. At the moment I’m being put on prednisolone (oral steroids) every time I either become glutened or my symptoms reach an ultimate. I think he’s said if I need to be in them for any more than 3 times a year, dapsone will be more considered. I’m keen to go on it as every time I come off the prednisolone I can see the blisters creeping back. I’ve got loads that have burst on my hairline. I also start to get flaky/peeling skin as well which I’m not sure is related?    As well as limiting iodine, is there anything else that might help irritation with sweat? Is it better to wear more loose fitted clothing? Can I apply something to stop the irritation of sweat whilst i’m exercising?    Thanks for all your help so far! I will keep you all updated on my journey!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you - that makes perfect sense and I understand. celiac disease is an autoimmune disease which will cause further damage while gluten sensitivity is different. Based on my symptoms and bloodwork, I am almost certain I have celiac disease.  I kind of hate to hope for a positive biopsy but a negative one would be frustrating for sure. Regardless, I have done a lot of research on gluten-free diet and am prepared to begin a new lifestyle journey - with a lot of questions along the way.  I appreciate your information and advice!
