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. :)

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
