Seizures and celiac 1 2

Hi everyone,

If you aren't aware of the cross contamination problem with dry lentils (even packaged), check out this link/video here: http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2011/11/lentil-and-kale-dal-video.html

I've been really frustrated lately because my favorite dry black lentils from Timeless Foods used to be safe for me. But recently, I started developing itching in my mouth after eating them and G.I. symptoms 8-12 hours later. So, I dumped out a whole bag of them and guess what I found? 6 grains! I'm not sure what kind of grain kernels they were, but it looks like wheat. Nonetheless, they're contaminated.

Have you all found a brand of lentils that works for you, that you haven't found to be contaminated with grains?

-I have never had a problem with Eden Foods green lentils.

-Obviously, Timeless Foods black lentils are now unsafe for me (I assume their other lentils are too).

How about you?

I've never had a problem, yet. I buy them locally so maybe that's why?

I've gotten sick with lentils. For now I'm just avoiding them but I would LOVE to be able to reintroduce them if anyone knows of a safe brand.

I have found wheat kernels as well as oats in dried lentils, unfortunately.

I've never found any in my Eden Foods dry green lentils. Has anyone had a problem with those?

All other lentils I've tried, especially Timeless Foods, have had wheat berries in them.

Thanks for the link to the video. Finding gluten grains where they don't belong has also been my experience.

I just went through previous threads and read that people have found grains in Bob Redmill's lentils as well.

Has anyone tried Arrowhead Mills lentils?
