Garbanzo & Fava Flour


GlutenGalAZ

Recommended Posts

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

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
