Lentils? Really?

I’ve adapted pretty well to my diagnosis 5 years ago, all things considered. One thing that helps is that pre-diagnosis, I always loved to eat and cook with a lot of naturally Gluten Free foods, like beans. 

Well I contacted a company last week regarding a delicious looking product I saw at my local specialty store  - a dal, basically a lentil based mash to put over rice.  I saw that several other company products were labeled  gluten-free, but not the dals. They told me that lentils are often stored and processed with wheat so, like oats, the only safe lentils are certified lentils.  Is this true?  I eat a ton of Indian food and cook with lentils all the time.  I’ve never heard this - please tell me it’s not true!  And what about my other beans?

My world is shaken...

According to the Gluten Free Watchdog there can be issues with even certified gluten free lentils:

Like beans, I prefer to wash and sort carefully and cook them from scratch.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      Gluten-Free Picnics--It Seems Like There Should Be More of Them!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By RMJ · Posted

      It took me 5 years to get one of my celiac antibodies down into the normal range.  A few years later it went up to a low positive. I had started baking with a certain gluten free flour. When I switched to a certified gluten free flour the antibody level went back down to normal. Has anything changed in your diet, supplements, kitchen, etc. that might correlate with the increase?
