Ezekiel Bread

Recently I heard a discussion on television about eating a gluten free, wheat free diet and this individual said she ate Ezekiel bread. After finding it at the health food store, I noticed the two principle ingredients are "sprouted" wheat and barley. Are these ingredients gluten free and can they be eaten by someone that has celiac? (I've not found anything on the internet about either.) The bread that's available is terrible and I'd love a sandwich or hamburger-- that I've done without for the past three years. If anyone knows about sprouted wheat or barley, I would certainly appreciate a reply. Thank you so much............Judy

Judy,

Have a look at the second question in Open Original Shared Link. The same would apply to barley, as well. I haven't tried Ezekiel bread in a while, but I remember that I used to have some problems with it. I hope this information is useful!

Thanks so much for your reply and the information on that site. I've not seen that one and found it quite interesting. Having been diagnosed three years ago, I've really not investigated things as I should. With this new forum I think I'll be on the computer much more and find more answers. Thanks again..........Judy

You're welcome, Judy! And if you're like me, you'll never get off the computer.... I just found out I have celiac disease not too long ago (self-diagnosed), and now that I've discovered that I'm not alone I'm craving community interaction! I'm sure I'll settle down to a *reasonable* amount of daily time online sometime...soon...maybe! Good luck to you!

Hi, I tried Ezekiel Bread, and I had a horrible Asthma attack after eating it. My Celiac symptoms usually present as wheezing, choking, and gasping for breath, and believe me, I did all those after eating sprouted wheat. I would say that the results were just the same as ingesting wheat or another grain. Welda

Ezekiel bread is NOT gluten free. Sprouting the grains does NOT get rid of the gluten in the grains. As to date there has been no way found to totally remove the gluten form the offending grains. Be cautious when you hear someone say things like "this process makes the grain gluten free or changes it to a form Celiacs can eat" etc. Most of these people are not informed properly about our diets.

I too wondered this when first going gluten free as I heard similar comments. My uncle is very sensitive to gluten, as well as other foods, yet he can eat Ezekiel bread with no symptoms. I had some early on after I went gluten free and had no ill effects. As we know, some people don't have symptoms yet have celiac. So just because you don't have the symptoms doesn't mean it's not creating havoc to your small intestine. I stay away from it now.

Good question. I think most people wonder that as we get so desperate for a good piece of bread... :unsure:

Good luck.

I'm new to the gluten-free world. My question regarding Ezekiel bread is how much gluten does it have compared to typical bread made with wheat flour? Is there a difference in the amount of gluten? Thanks in advance.

THis thread is several years old so product info may have changed.

I don't think there are any Ezekiel breads that claim to be gluten free. I haven't heard of them anyway. For Celiac, it really doesn't matter if the bread has less gluten then another bread. We can't have any gluten.

You could try to write to the company to find out if they know that info.

No. Absolutely not. Wheat, barley--sprouted or otherwise. Nope.

Tastes like cardboard anyway. blech. :P

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
