OncoWarrior Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Today is my Legume Reintroduction day. I have not cared much for legumes mostly. Prefer chili without beans; no refried beans for me at the Mexican restaurant, no baked beans at the church social. But I do like garbanzos in a few dishes, so that is my legume of choice. Previously, I have observed that peanuts (which I like), and peanut butter (which I like) and soy nut butter (also like), made me feel rather sluggish after I ate them. I'll call it Legume Lethargy. So today I am only using garbanzos and soy sauce, neither of which ever gave me any trouble. (that I know of) This morning I added about half of one can garbanzos to my breakfast soup. It was delightful! For lunch I had channa masala (an Indian garbanzo dish) with sweet potatoes and poached fish and broccoli. I used to have it on rice but not today. Actually, I think I like it better with sweet potatoes. Thank you, Whole30, for new discoveries! I noticed feeling a little lower level gassiness in the mid-afternoon. This is probably from the breakfast rather than the lunch. Hmmmmmmm, if this is the only problem I could probably eat them once in a while and make sure to take digestive enzymes with the meal. Fortunately, no lethargy. Tonight I am making an oriental style salad using soy sauce in the dressing. Tune in tomorrow, folks, or the next day, for the dramatic results.

OncoWarrior Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Day after Legume re-intro report. Just the gas as I reported yesterday. No noticeable effects from the soy sauce. (unless something happened while I was sleeping! ) I think I may try the garbanzos again on a later date and take digestive enzymes or kim chi with that meal to see if it will be better. Next re-intro is Gluten-Free grains, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncoWarrior Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 It is so easy to stay on Whole30 that I kind of forgot that I was going to reintroduce those beans again! Tried some garbanzos in a different dish and used the digestive enzymes at that meal. Results: PERFECT! Also, I did have another occasion to use soy sauce and there were no noticeable after effects. Since these are the only two legumes that I really care about we have a plan that works. Next stop: Gluten-free grains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
