The Lentil Cross Contimination Problem

Hi everyone,

If you aren't aware of the cross contamination problem with dry lentils (even packaged), check out this link/video here: Open Original Shared Link

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?

      glutenfreedrugs.com

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
