Careful. Lectins are the "Compound du jour" of the fad diet crowd.

Lectins are in practically everything that we eat. If it were just lectins, it would be a lot more people than this.

This is likely contamination of some form.

I've heard of food poisoning before, but not too many cases of people losing organs over it. At any rate, lectins (and other antinutrients) are evolutionary defense mechanisms (poison) to prevent insects from devouring plants wholesale. When they become a large percentage of your own diet, you'll probably experience digestion issues and inflammation as well.
