Thoughts On Canned Chick Peas (garbanzos)

I visited a local Indian/Oriental foods store in hopes of picking up some dried chick peas. Unfortunately, every package had the "produced on shared lines with wheat" warning, and with no softener like "good manufacturing practices were followed to maintain separation." This makes me a little worried about the canned chick peas in stores. I know that foods produced in America have to have the allergen labeling and that all food sold in the US should have the labeling. I'm unclear whether imported food must have the labeling or anyway how trustworthy it might be. Chick pea cans I have seen have no allergen warning. As far as I know, nobody is growing chick peas in the US on a commercial scale, so these would presumably all be imported. I remember the earlier thread to the effect that all lentils must be considered cross-contaminated with wheat because of where they're grown, but don't know if chick peas are in any way similar. Your thoughts?

Allergen labeling applies to ANY food sold in the U.S. no matter where it's made.

As for CC in ALL lentils, never heard of that one.

I eat a lot of Chi-chi's and have never been gotten by them. I use the canned variety as I can't even find the dryed ones. I do use dried split peas and lentils and I rinse them well and pick them over for stones and such. While the packages may say that they are 'produced in......' I haven't actually found any suspicious unidentified grains mixed in or been glutened by them. Not saying it could never happen but it has never happened to me.

One of the lentil threads (it was barley, not wheat): https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...amp;mode=linear

Moot point as far as I'm concerned, as I don't care for lentils.

Thanks for your reply. Found some canned garbanzos at Earth Fare that were labeled "Not gluten." Odd wording, but I think it covers the case.

Because of the shared lines issue, I never use the dried ones (from the Indian grocery). Plus they often have little stones in them that you have to be careful of.

I buy the organic canned ones from the halth food store and have been safe so far. I eat them mixed with rice quite often.

The brand we have here is called "full circle," but there are more brands out there.

Good luck!

I made hummous with the new Walmart white label brand of garbanzo beans. (the new white label looks similiar to the old generic label in the 70's-remember the green line?!) Anyway, I feel fine and these were very cheap!

We eat lentils and I've never had a problem with them. We rinse the dry ones first and soak overnight. I have never had a problem with canned beans of any kind though I haven't had chickpeas in a while.

That's what I wound up getting, the Earth Fare store brand. Much, much better than the Hanover canned garbanzos I got at the regular supermarket, I'm happy to say.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
