Garbanzo & Fava Flour

I bought Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo & Fava Flour to make grain free honey grahams and something else that called for it.

I made the grahams last weekend and they turned out really good. But I had stomach problems during the week not like a glutening but just upset stomach.

Has anyone else reacted to this flour?

The only other thing new I had this week was Regular Velveeta (which I have had in the past with no problem) and David Sunflower Kernels (not shelled).

The Sunflower Seed Ingredients: Sunflower Kernels, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil and Salt (made by ConAgra Foods).

I have been eating yellow apples lately and am normally fine but I think maybe I had one that bothered me for some reason. I guess I am wanting to blame the apple but in the back of my head I am thinking it was the Garbanzo/Fava Flour.

Any thoughts???

Thank you

My mom has a classic allergy response to the Bob's Red Mill bread, which is made with the garbonzo/fava combo. We're guessing it's the fava beans, but for fear of a more severe reaction we haven't tried to narrow it down for sure.

I've heard that there's some kind of fava intolerance people can have that's genetic, but I don't know much about it.

Sorry that's not a lot of help. It does seem like Celiacs tend to have problems with more foods than just gluten.

i made a gluten free bread from bob's red mill that contained these bean flours and it upset my stomach too...and made me naseous! i think those bean flours just dont agree with some of us... not like a glutening like you pointed out, but just an upset feeling like something isnt quite right

doesnt help much either, sorry. my only advice is to try to find a sub or try a different brand of bean flour, though they are pricey to buy and use only a small amount of

Thank you very much for both of your replies. I thought it was the flour but wasn't sure if it was one of the new things I ate as well so I cut the other stuff out and am re-trying the graham crackers I made (had half of the dough in the freezer). I thought I started to react to it but wasn't sure will see. At least it isn't a complete waste if I am b/c hubby likes the crackers/cookies so could just make them for him. The recipe did have a replacement for the flour -- said to use brown rice so at least I have that, that I can try next time b/c they are really good.

Thanks again.

We use small to moderate amounts of their fava bean flour all the time and have never had any problems. However, I think the garbanzo bean flour is horrible! :o

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
