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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
