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 did notice in videos that the millet is a different color. Does the red one taste different? Maybe I need to internet shop... <_<

Hi Ken

Thanks  I'll check that out... I'm in  small town USA  ... Glad  you are still out & about.

happy holidays

 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.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
