Sprouted Grain Bread?

A friend at work had a couple slices of this today and let me taste it. Tasted like regular bread to me.

They're touting this stuff as "Wheat Free" sort of. They claim that by sprouting the wheat, it breaks down the Gluten and people are then able to digest it. Anyone heard of this and what do you think.

Oh, yeah, sorry I haven't checked in for a while. I'm doing fine. Jerry

Here's a link to the product, which I meant to insert in the original message.Open Original Shared Link

It's called Ezekiel Bread, and it is not gluten-free!!!! You can read about it at the Ezekiel Bread website. They also make gluten-free bread and do not claim Ezekiel Bread to be gluten-free. Apparently the sprouting of the grains makes the bread healthier and easier to digest for those who can eat gluten.

Hope you get lucky and don't feel bad from it!!

Edit - the brand you posted is a different brand from the one I mentioned. But if it has wheat, barley or rye, the one you had still is not gluten-free.

Actually, sprouting converts starch into sugar. If the gluten were truly broken down, it wouldn't make good bread. It's the gluten that gives wheat bread those nice characteristics.

WHEAT FREE?

Yes and no. We do not use wheat in the conventional manner. We sprout it! Wheat and sprouted wheat are two completely different foods, and that is why hundreds of wheat hypersensitive people are enjoying bread once again! Sprouting the grain turns it from an acid to an alkaline base or more digestible food, and a powerhouse of enzymes and nutrients are released by the malting or sprouting process. We recommend that you first consult with your health professional.

If only it were so easy, alkalinize your diet and gluten problems are gone!

GLUTEN

Gluten, the sticky to digest wheat protein, breaks down during germination. This may be why hundreds of wheat-sensitive customers are enjoying our breads. See Alive Magazine Feb/March '98 issue for an article entitled "Sprout Route"

One article in the past 8 years? One whole article?

Before discovering my gluten issues, I made a naturally leavened sprouted rye bread that was unbelievably good. Sigh.

On the website you posted they said they add back 1% (% of what I do not know) of wheat gluten to get the consistency of the bread. This 1% does not appear to be sprouted, which still would not make it okay.

Pretty misleading and crummy that they would make such a big deal about sprouted grains eradicating natural gluten content in the grains and then add it back in each recipe anyway (look at the ingredients of their products). That's a dirty trick on top of being completely wrong.

Grrrr, there really should be a law against that sort of misinformation! Mind you, I wish it were true... used to love sprouted wheat bread.

I am so in agreement with this skbird. It is so deceptive and quite a tease might I add. Why bend over backwards trying to convince the public how the process eliminates Gluten if they are going to reintroduce it anyway? It's like kid's breakfast cereals that the process has destroyed the vitamins so they spray it back on anyway. :P

I SO hankered for this concept (sprouted=gluten-free) to be true! I was raised hippie-ish and cruncy granola-ish, I used to knead & bake my own breads while dreaming of an Earth Mama lifestyle.

What a fly in the ointment Celiac disease turned out to be.

Now I do bake in my machine often from recipes often from mix (the latter not truly qualifying as homemade in MY crunchy definition)

But I do truly yearn for healthy bread.... NOT just bread that is healthy for me because it doesn't make me ill!

I am tired of all the white starchy flours...and missing whole grains and sprouted grains. All the "whole (gluten-free) Grain" substitutes in the world never seem

"whole grain" enough for me! :(

Love & Light,

Tee

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
