Feed store sorghum?

Can sorghum, (Milo) from the feed store be used to grind flour for baking. Feed store sorghum is approx. $8.00 for 50lbs as opposed to $10.00 for 2lbs from some on-line sources.

Hi olesoulle,

Interesting question.  There's no way for me to know how safe that would be as far as cross contamination goes.  It seems like you could sort through the grains looking for and removing any wheat, rye or barley that had snuck in.  And then  wash the grain and let it dry.  I think that's what Quaker does with their gluten-free rice products.  But they have machines that do it on a large scale quickly.  Maybe you could look up their procedures and see how it works for them?

Welcome to the forum! :)

As mentioned by GFinDC Could work but you will have to go through it, I almost guarantee there will be other grains in there other then sorghum. Issue is here is about how sensitive you are also. A lot of people still get sick from products made gluten-free by mechanical separation. They are still touching and causing some form of contamination. The feed version is probably also going to have a lot other "Waste" in it from the harvesting as I imagine they keep the price down by using minimal processing from field to bag, so the store bought might be better in the end with less work and safer.

I personally used Authentic Foods for sorghum flour when using it with a bit of millet and guar gum to make banana bread for my family.  I think it was like $11.50 for 3lb bag Open Original Shared Link

GERBS also has bulk sales of whole grains available that are gluten free the sorghum is as low as $3.39/lb for 50lb bulk purchases. Open Original Shared Link

The sorghum used for gluten-free baking is specifically grown and harvested to be gluten-free.  These farmers do not alternate with wheat or use the same harvesting and storage equipment as other grains.  That adds to the cost but make sure it safe for Celiacs.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
