C'mon Carrots?

I just wanted to mention that I have never been able to eat prepared hummus, it always gives me gut problems no matter what new brand I try. However, I have been able to eat home made hummus in the past without a problem. I always used canned garbanzo beans in my home made hummus; they seem to be really well cooked. I think that it is possible that the prepared hummus uses a different cooking method that may not fully cook the beans like the canning process does which could lead to digestion problems. Once I tried to cook dried garbanzo beans and even though I soaked them and cooked them for hours they never got really soft like the canned garbanzos. I think the only way to really get dried beans cooked thoroughly enough for me is with a pressure cooker.

If you think that garbanzos might be harder for you to digest than other beans and you really want humus, you could try making hummus with canned small white beans instead of garbanzos as a possible alternative. I have not tried the white beans in hummus but I believe they would be good.

An idea on something to to eat with fat and nutrients. Have you tried canned coconut milk/cream in a smoothie with fruit you can tolerate? Coconut milk has lots of fat and tastes nice. Most of the fat is saturated fat and some doctors will say to limit saturated fat but I do not fall for the anti-saturated fat hype. You could also add some protein powder to the smoothie. If dairy is OK for you you could add plain whey protein to the smoothie. If eggs are OK but dairy is not, you could add NOW Eggwhite Protein powder to your smoothie for extra protein. The NOW brand does not have any extra ingredients like artificial sweeteners that could add to your problems. I really love fruit smoothies and just recently discovered the NOW eggwhite protein powder.

Good luck!

I can't tolerate legumes anymore, since going gluten free. This includes peanuts. I never had a problem with them before but now get stomach cramps and gas.

Ditto, I seem to be the same where I cannot tolerate legumes anymore since going gluten free. I just had to give peanuts a go the other day, and now I so wish I had not tried them. Is it because legumes are so hard to digest?

I would never have thought carrots would be a problem, I eat them by the bucket full. Still not gone orange yet!

I actually find for some reason raw carrots & brocoli bother my stomach. If they are cooked I'm fine, but if not my stomach gets really irritated.

It just goes to show that we are all different. I come from a family where our stomachs have been described as being as tough as cast iron. I have definately broken that myth, but I think I am the only one who owned up to possibly having something wrong, the rest are still like ostriches with heads in sand. So it has been hard for me to come to grips with the thought of having intolerances, not only to gluten, but possibly some legumes.

But I think, if we go with our gut feelings, excuse the pun, we are usually going down the right track.

I had a doctor tell me that a high percentage of Americans are showing up pretty allergic to sesame seeds (tahini). As a matter of fact I am allergic to them according to an actual ELISA blood test. Just a thought. I realize that legumes are more likely, but it could be sesame seeds. :)

That is interesting about the tahini. Are you allergic to other nuts and seeds as well? If not you could try making your hummus with a different nut butter. I have used peanut butter in the past as a substitute for tahini. I used to make Felafel balls and I often substituted peanut butter for tahini in the lemon tahini sauce used to top the Felafel balls.

Not sure.

We talked about it a little on this thread, with some possible theories:

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.
