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:

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
