Help! Didn't Cook My Beans Enough

Has anyone ever gotten isck from this? I made chili this afternoon with Goya's small red beans. I followed the directions which were to boil them for 2 minutes and then let them soak in hot water for an hour. But, when I ate the chili the beans were definitely not done. I ate some and then threw the rest out. I noticed I started feeling nauseous a few hours ago, and I though "Hmm... I wonder..." then I found this online:

Several varieties of beans, especially red kidney beans, are poisonous in their raw state. The beans contain phytohaemagglutinin, which is toxic to people and animals. But soaking beans in water for a least five hours and cooking them in fresh water for at least ten minutes will destroy the toxins. I DIDN't DO THIS!!!!!!!

Beware of cooking beans in crockpots that do not get hot enough to boil water. Some beans are actually more toxic if they are heated to about 175-degrees, but not boiled.

Symptoms of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain within one to three hours after eating. Although most people recover within a day, some might need to be hospitalized to replace lost fluids.

Ugh!

I don't think you'll get too sick unless you ate a lot. I've eaten a lot of beans, some of them undercooked and gotten nothing worse than a little stomach ache.

I think the package must not have given the full directions. What you described is called the "quick soak" method for softening the beans to get them ready to cook. You do this instead of soaking them overnight, which is actually more healthy, BTW. Anyway, next time you make chili, cook them for 4-5 hours AFTER either soaking them or quick soaking them. And don't ever put in tomato sauce before they're done or they won't ever finish cooking. I learned this from experience.

I've made chili numerous times but I use the Goya kidney beans in a can. They are already cooked and I add them in the last 5 to 10 mins of the cooking time of the chili. Never had a problem.

That's what I usually do, but this time I decided to be "gourmet" and do it from scratch. Big mistake! I feel like I'm looped on codeine- not a good feeling.

I always soak them over night... Then give them a good rinse, boil for 10 minutes, rinse again, then cook them up. It gets rid of a lot of the gas.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
