Lentils? Really?

[Nikki2777]

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.
