Why Do Dried Beans Say, "may Contain Soy & Wheat"?

Are they packaged with them or on the same belt? What do dried beans and wheat have to do with each other? I get these for free with WIC and so we use a lot of dried beans, also because they are very healthy for you so I will be sad to have to stop getting those as well as the tortilla's, wheat bread and dairy products we get for free. Our budget cannot take anymore expenses!

I might be wrong but I would think dried beans would be ok if you rinse them really well.

Just pick them over and rinse them well. They will be fine. I have found an occasional grain of some sort in split peas and lentils. Why can't you get tortillas? I don't know if WIC gives you Mission brand, but their corn tortillas are made on a dedicated line.

It sounds like they may be processed in a facility which also processes soy and wheat. Since dry beans should be sorted and rinsed well anyway, I'd like to think they'd be ok after that. But if you notice problems, then the choice is obvious.

Because I have one child who is anaphylactic to corn. :) Oh good times in our family LOL

It's good to know we can rinse them and be fine, we do have some good things to make with beans!

Oh, wow. Corn is almost harder to avoid than gluten. You must cook a lot! In this state you can get brown rice on the WIC package instead of bread or tortillas. Is that an option where you live?

Ya, I get the brown rice and grind it up for flour to make bread with as we don't particularly like brown rice itself, so it really doesn't go to waste :) We make our own rice tortilla's and they are good when fresh.

Oh, and I do cook a lot! LOL My only real complaint is our tiny, "weekend warrior cook" kitchen, I need a large, gourmet kitchen where I can really spread out and cook! I sometimes will have 3-4 different things cooking/baking at one time and be in there for hours. :)

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
