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!!!!!

Oh Thanks much! -- They  have this wonderful red millet in INdia too.  My chef buddy always makes me a care pack of  this roti to  eat on the plane home.

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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
