I recently ate home-prepared lentils and was glutened.  I'm sure it was cross-contaminated because I got my characteristic stomach pain and then diarrhea.  I buy my quinoa and millet from Bob's Red Mill, but they don't produce legumes that are certified gluten free.  Is there a place to buy dry lentils, chickpeas, etc that are batch tested for gluten?

I buy Arrowhead Mills certified gluten-free red lentils from Vitacost.com.  I see they also have certified gluten-free dry chickpeas.

Thanks for the tip! It probably makes sense to look for "gluten-free" on many alternative grains, flours, beans, legumes, seeds, etc., due to the risk of cross-contamination during transportation, or in various packing areas.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      The early days are often tricky for the newly diagnosed.   There were times I thought I'd never feel better, but it just takes some people longer than others.   Hang on in there, and keep posting with any questions as they occur or if you need any encouragement.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      Thank you, Scott, for sharing the article. I’ve been puzzled by products with gluten-free certifications that also include allergen disclosures stating the product is processed in facilities that also process wheat. It appears industry has moved on. I have little, if any, trust left in the certifications and labeling.

      Yea ... you're probably right.  I think I have been in a sort of denial about how bad this condition is. I thought it would be easier to deal with it.  It is clearly NOT.  Reading different posts on this forum over the past few weeks has helped me come to terms with that a bit, that this is a tough disease to live with and it takes some very serious steps to manage.  Several people mention AIP and it is helping me to think of myself as a person with an autoimmune disease, rather than a person who can't eat gluten.  That's making me take it more seriously and I think I need to do that if I'm going to get out of this loop I'm in where I just eat / drink foods that make me sick and I just battle through it week after week.  Its easier for my husband to see its damage than for me to see it in myself.  He reminded me the other day when I told him that I thought I ate something again that caused me to have a bad day the next day, and he says "you've been having a lot of bad days lately."  I've got to do something to break out of this pattern and so anyway yea I appreciate the suggestion to heal the gut first.  That makes total sense.

      I really recommend you go on AIP to heal your gut first, and then reintroduce foods one by one...

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      Hey @annamarie6655, I think we've all glutened ourselves during the learning process of what it takes to be truly gluten free. Don't be hard on yourself. You're not glutening yourself purposefully ... it takes time to figure it all out. You should stand up for yourself and advocate for yourself at all times. The family dynamic can be very difficult for us Coeliacs. It may be worth mentioning that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. And any of them could develop Coeliac Disease in the future ... though that may be a difficult conversation to have. It was for me, but at least my conscience is clear! It's ok to be grateful but not overly so. I would tell them that it's a steep learning curve and I'm trying to figure out a major lifestyle adjustment to preserve my health now and into the future. If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table is their own personal buffet and dips into the food of whoever is sitting opposite or adjacent without asking for permission ... which is extremely rude. No regard for cross contamination or poisoning my food with gluten. Despite my diplomatic efforts in asking that sibling stop it and explaining the consequences of a crumb of gluten getting into my body, it keeps happening. At family dinners and at restaurants, I now sit at the opposite end of the table well out of arms reach of that sibling. At another siblings 60th BBQ birthday recently, I was trying to assess a safe place to cook my homemade burger having brought my own food .... I was attacked by an in-law who said "there's no place safe to cook just use the BBQ". I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger on the cooker. If you live in a city, you might be able to find a support group or make a new Coeliac buddy in a gluten-free Cafe of Breakfast Bar. There's lots of people on Instagram and Tiktok who are Coeliacs that arrange meet-ups. And there's several Coeliacs running podcasts on Spotify.
