So uh... yeah. I seem to have Celiac's disease. But I haven't had it diagnosed. Partially because I have already cut out grains (and seen a huge improvement in health) and everything I have read says that Celiac's is extremely hard to diagnose once wheat has been removed from the diet. But partially because I am too busy to make and go to a doctors appointment. The prospect of waiting 3 months to see a specialist doesn't help.
So no wheat for me. I cut out dairy a loooong time ago. But other foods give me troubles. I haven't noticed a pattern until today!
So I read about chickpeas... which lead me to this:
Grain legumes are cultivated for their seeds, and are also called pulses. The seeds are used for human and animal consumption or for the production of oils for industrial uses. Grain legumes include both herbaceous plants like beans, lentils, lupins, peas and peanuts.[4] and trees such as carob, mesquite and tamarind.
All of the above legumes seem to fuck up my digestion. I didn't know they were all in the same family. Weird. I wonder what the issue is. Maybe they all have the same molecule that messes up my intestines or sends my immune system into insane overreaction.
