Hi Dilettantsteph -- thanks for your reply.  I should clarify that I'm not posting here on this for me.  I'm posting this because a lot of folks online are suggesting just washing the beans to magically remove the gluten, while Jane Anderson is saying that trace amounts may remain.  I just want to point that out in case there are other sensitive folks like me out there wondering why they are sick.  I have a separate post (the one I linked to) on my own problems.  No one responded there and I suspect the sensitive folks don't check that forum too often.  But it's OK.  (You know, I actually did email Ms. Anderson on this a few weeks ago, but so far no reply.  Oh well. It's OK.)

 

Anyway, I think Jane Anderson meant that testing would still find the gluten:

 

However, informal experiments using home gluten testing kits show it's not that easy to get rid of the contamination — some seems to remain behind, despite your best scrubbing efforts.

The problem is, Open Original Shared Link is a very sticky molecule, and it's just not very responsive to washing. Friends who also happen to be scientists have experimented with this, and have found you can lessen — although not eliminate — the gluten cross-contamination in beans by washing them repeatedly in water with dish soap, and then rinsing.

Open Original Shared Link

Sounds like her scientist friends are actually doing the ELISA test here to confirm results. I ordered some of those tests and some certified gluten-free Eden Food canned beans, and I suggest anyone eating beans from any source other than one where they know how it was harvested (their own garden or a small farmers' they have spoken to) do the same, and not rely on just washing.

edison grainery uses a dedicated facility, and test their legumes to <5 ppm. their other products are also tested.

I know this is an extremely old topic, but I can attest that rinsing your beans many times isn't good enough, and no I can digest all kinds of beans fine even a huge quantity. I recently got cross-contaminated via dried black beans I ate. I search high and low for an alternative; since, i discovered that beans and greens peas are frequently cross-contaminated, and I found nothing except Edison Grainery which tests their products to 5 ppm. I am extremely sensitive though, so maybe some people can get away with rinsing their stuff. I know 20 ppm definitely wouldn't cut it.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      @Zuma888,  I'm so happy you're feeling better!   Thanks for letting us know of your improvement!

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
    • trents
      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
