Here's A New One For The Books -- Lupin Intolerance


hathor

Recommended Posts

I've been trying out different gluten-free pastas. A few days ago I tried an imported one that among its ingredients has lupin flour & protein. All I knew before that was the flower by that name that was featured in a Monty Python routine ...

Anyway, I start having symptoms just like I do from soy. I finally made the possible connection and researched lupin allergy, thinking I was being some sort of paranoid nut. It turns out that this is a growing concern in Europe and Australia, where lupin is like the new soy, finding its way into all sorts of things. Maybe we don't see the problem here (yet) because we don't have a bunch of lupin farmers.

Lupin is a legume and those who react to other legumes, including soy and especially peanuts, have a greater likelihood of reacting to it.

The European Union has just added lupin to its list of allergens that must be listed, but this isn't in effect yet. Open Original Shared Link

I guess I'm being trendy and continental :lol:

I wonder how long it will be before it's added to foods over here. <_<

There's a genetic tendency - especially in those of Greek, Turkish, and southern Italian decent, to be intolerant to fava beans. It's called favism, and causes red blood cells to pretty much explode when both copies of the genes are had. Turns out it's protective against malaria, especially amongst carriers who - drumroll - eat fava beans. The less than perfect state of the blood is better, genetically, than the effects of malaria, so the trait gets passed on. (I've been reading "Survival of the Sickest"... Interesting book.) Anyway, it was a bit related, so I thought I'd pass it on. :)

That is crazy! I'm intolerant to legumes so I'll have to keep my eye on lupin.

Favism :lol: Sorry but that cracks me up as whenever I hear about Fava beans all I can think about is Anthonthy Hopkins in silence of the lambs when he talks about fav beans and a nice chianti :ph34r:

I MISS chickpeas/hummus and ESPECIALLY falafel so much.

      thank yo, i still eat a bit of dairy and a fair amount of processed foods. I wonder if I have sibo... I will look into that

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
