Possible Legume Intolerance?

Thanks to jerseyangel in the long post about night sweats, I think I may be legume intolerant. I don't eat soy (9which is a legume) and i've been noticing for awhile I don't seem to tolerate peanuts very well. I went through my food journal and it looks like the nights I haave the worst sweats are the days I have eaten peanuts/peanut butter.

Last night was the clincher though- I had aa BumbleBar which has peanuts and I felt a little funky after i ate it but last night I absolutely soaked the bed, today my gas smells and my joints ache.

juliem mentioned it could be the mold in peanuts I am reaacting too as well but I'm wondering if I can tolerate soy or peanuts, should I cut out ALL legumes. I'd hate to give up chickpeas, hummus, beans in my chili, but if I have to I will.

What are other legumes? Peanuts, soy, lentils, kidney beans. Are there any beans that aren't legumes? What tastes as good or almost as good as peanut butter (almond butter?). I've never tried any of the other nut butters.

Thanks ! Beverly

As to almond butter - it tastes very good on sandwiches and the like; not so good as peanut butter right from the jar. One idea is to get it raw instead of roasted. It is very gooey, but is healthier. The taste, though, might be better in the roasted kind, I've not had it.

Beverly - do you have MS, by any chance?

Cashew butter and macadamia butter are very good, too.

I use cashew butter (raw) instead of peanut butter.

One of my intolerances, I think it is yeast but not totally sure, causes joint pain for me.

Personally, I avoid all beans and peanut butter. I still eat green beans and peas with few problems but the rest, I won't even add them to the chili. I make a very hearty chili and beans would be nice added back in, but really, nobody misses them. Also, my hubby and oldest cannot have beans either.

No- I don't have MS. fibromyaalgia though. Curious why you asked. Is there a connection?

it is not really recommended for people with MS to consume a lot of legumes, that is why I asked.

oh phew! i thought there was some connection between being legume intolerant and having MS. I do have Fibromyalgia and it definitely makes me achier. Thanks for clarifying that. :)

Berneses,

I agree with Bully4You that almond butter is gooey. Its not as thick and easy to work with like peanut butter, it's more runny. I usually get raw almond butter from Maranatha at the health food store. When you first open the jar the oil is all separated from it and you have to stir it up to mix the oil back in, but then I keep it in the fridge and the cold temp 'sets' it up a little bit. It's a good idea to start with small amounts to see how you do.

Thank you- I bought some Maranatha today (because I loved their pb) and it's in the fridge but it will be there for awhile before I try it out- I start a week-long exam for my degree on Friday and cannot be careful enough right now! Thanks for all your advice! B

to everyone,

almond butter is pricey (well, it canada it is), and i get a huge thing of it from costco (marantha brand) fora fraction of the cost from any grocer/health food store.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
