How sick are we going to be? Eaten undercooked kidney beans

[Noeffinway]

So, the whole family has eaten undercooked kidney beans. It was only at the end of the meal that the niggling at the back of my brain became a clear memory of reading that uncooked kidney beans are toxic. We've had about a can's worth between three of us. What should we expect?

I'm an idiot, I know!

Oh, great! I'll just drop this here, so that everyone can fret an panic:

When consumed, lectins in their active state can cause negative side effects. The most publicized accounts report severe reactions in people eating even small amounts of raw or undercooked kidney beans. They contain phytohaemagglutinin, a type of lectin that can cause red blood cells to clump together. It can also produce nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, and diarrhea. [2] Milder side effects include bloating and gas.

Glad you are OK OP. I can confirm for the thread that eating soaked but not cooked beans can be awful as my housemate was violently ill. You stewing them must have helped!
