I was reading somewhere about Millet Flour being very good for you.Open Original Shared Link  But isn't that the lil round things in bird seed? I love to run my hands thru it :) Does anyone here cook with Millet Flour? Just curious as to what you can make with it. Do you mix it with other flours? Anyone like it? Dislike it?

I use it. I just buy millet and throw it in my blender as I need flour. I also have a flatbread recipe that uses rice, millet and something else maybe, and I just soak it all together then blend it. One of my waffle recipes uses it. I don't even know how many other things. I love it. I also love that I can buy a bag of BRM millet for three bucks and change so I'm not going bankrupt on flour like some of the others that I use.

When I lived in Kenya my mama used to feed us millet porridge if we were ill = ultimate comfort food! Make it with water (make a paste first, then gradually add hot water until it's the consistency you want) and eat with sugar or lemon or butter :) I also used the flakes to make porridge when I was first diagnosed but thought they had a weird, bitter flavour and a funny texture.

If you have thyroid problems you might want to look into this: Open Original Shared Link

"millets are also a mild Open Original Shared Link inhibitor and probably should not be consumed in great quantities by those with Open Original Shared Link."

I don't like gluten free bread very much- however, I use millet to make flatbreads with my waffle maker- I soak the grains and then blend them, mix and egg into it and kefir yoghourt a pinch of salt and spoon the mixture onto my waffle maker.- just for a change i also do this with mung beans, yellow Dahl lentis, gram flower

millets are very common in INdia  (Ragi) -- Ragi roti ( kind of flat bread) is  very good.  In Japan there are  millets used instead of rice in some  areas and in   ancient recipes.  Awa, Kibi and Hiya are found in Japanese  groceries and also very good. I make them in a  rice  cooker instead of rice or mill them into a flour. If your in a city  that  has an indian grocery you can  usually find  ragi flour. also chana or chick pea flour too.

You always have the most wonderful little nuggets of random information that I find insanely useful! Ragi roti sounds wonderful and I'd never heard of it. Thanks!

I must  be the only one  who  gets an aftertaste  from  bread  loaded  with millet...I do use  little millet  blended  with  other  flours... It  is  a good food  source....so I try to use  a  little.. But  mostly  what  some  find  is  that  much  of the millet  is CC...

I  suggest  looking  for  a  better  brand  of  millet that has less CC.. Cheaper  products  isn't always  the  best  for us....

 

And, yes  millet  is in bird food!!!  Don't use  that one!!!!!

 I think the  red one is a little richer and nuttier type taste. I like them both and have used the red instead of quinoa in other  meals as its much smaller and gives a different  texture - more like a breakfast  cereal

It is a blend it is "365 everyday Value" " Organic Super Grains " A blend of White and red Quinoa Millet and Buckwheat. I cannot believe I actually bought it. What was I thinking? I am just glad I read the labels better when I get home before I cook it!! I don't mind I buy the stuff. I would If I actually ate it!! Ughhh ohhh well! I looked it up and they are more Organic than anything so no I am not going to eat it.

Hey there!

 

Just wanted to point out that "Buchwheat" is not actually "Wheat" and it IS a gluten free grain. :) I wasn't sure if you knew that or not - the name makes it pretty confusing. I'm not sure how safe the "365 everyday value" brand is as far as CC though.

 

Hope you find the right thing soon!!

By law in the US if there is wheat in the mix, it has to say so on the label. Buckwheat is Soba in japan -- juwari soba is 100% but all other which is about 87% of the soba in Japan is mixed with wheat  in different percentages.  There is no guarantee when a company buys a tn of sobako or buckwheat flour that it is 100% -- it could have very well been mixt with anywhere from 10 to 60% wheat.  On consumer items  an ingredient list is required but not always on wholesale.  In this  case it could be cross contamination too.

good luck

What did the label say that concerned you?  Do they actually add wheat to this?  At least they labelled the wheat in the ingredients.

 

 

Looked this up and it looks like the ingredients are :  Organic White Quinoa, organic millet, organic red quinoa, Organic buckwheat

 

I don't see any problem there.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
