Legumes and MC?

Post by Ellen2 »

Got my entero lab tests back and a whole lot of foods are on the don't eat list. I have eliminated all of them and my system seems to be pleased. 7 days of almost normal. My question is, "what about legumes?" Do any of you eat them? How do you cook them? What are the normal reaction for MC peeps to them?

Soy is a member of the legume family, so most people who are sensitive to soy are sensitive to most legumes, but not necessarily all legumes.

I found out that I was sensitive to soy one day when I developed ileus (my digestive system completely stopped working after eating some peanuts, but that's not a typical symptom). While waiting in the ER for the test results to come back, it started working again. It scared me enough that I won't touch any legumes with a 10-ft. pole anymore.

Normally, I believe your reaction pattern would be similar to your reations to any soy product, whatever that is.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
