I heard there was controversy over millet. I just found that my 'milk thistle' contains millet.

Is it safe?

From a gluten standpoint, millet is safe. Here is a list of safe foods, if you click on "millet", there is more information on the various grains--

As far as I know millet is okay. I've had it before with no problems. The only problem I can think of is cross-contamination with the flour - if the millet is ground using the same equipment as wheat.

Millet is in no way related to wheat, and does not contain the offending protein structures. Enjoy! (it's a tasty grain!)

Below quoted about millet. It does not have gluten. However CC could be an issue depending on what food it's in and mfg process.

My milk thistle has millet and I've not had a problem (Vitamin Shoppe brand).

"Millet is highly nutritious, non-glutinous and like buckwheat and quinoa, is not an acid forming food so is soothing and easy to digest. In fact, it is considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available and it is a warming grain so will help to heat the body in cold or rainy seasons and climates"

Thanks so much. I guess I'll go ahead and call the company. Mine is Nature's Way, I think.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
