Sprouted Bread


NancyKay

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

A friend sent me this link:

Open Original Shared Link

She had just noticed the bread at Costco and emailed me about it. My first reaction was to say that if it's wheat, whether it is sprouted or not, it is off limits. I still feel that way... but can't get past the paragraph on that page that talks about gluten. They are not actually saying that gluten intolerant people can eat it, but they are insinuating it. What do you all think?

Thanks,

Nancy

Nope, you can't have it! It's confusing, but most of the sprouted breads do not claim that celiacs can eat it, only that it's easier to digest. Some even add unsprouted wheat to them.

I went to the link, go to their "wheat sensitive" page ... it says it's not intended for those with celiac.

Thanks, Carla. Exactly what I thought. They were tricky with their gluten statement. argggh.

On their link to "Wheat Sensitive?" they put this:

Note: We advise those with Celiac disease not to consider our current product line.

Wheat sensitive and Celiac are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT beasts.

No one that has Celiac should try "SPROUTED WHEAT" - it has enough gluten to make us really sick (or itchy) but some "wheat sensitive" folks may be able to tolerate.

The owner of my health food store almost sold me sprouted grain bread shortly after I went gluten-free, claiming that I could eat it. I was confused, and almost bought it, but put it back, because it just didn't seem right. I keep forgetting about going to set her straight. I have to go there tomorrow, and your post reminded me to let her know her error, thanks.

I hate this. It is so misleading. Sprouted bread and Ezekiel bread are products for which it is really true that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". People who know nothing about wheat sensitivity/gluten intolerance read the labels on these products and then think they are informed enough to inform others.

Wheat probably is hard to digest for everyone, so it's a good product. They just need better labeling.

Much as labelling is what they need I also think that they have obviously chosen to mislead.

My sister thought this would be okay for me too. I knew it wasn't, luckily.

It got me thinking, though, I wonder if those of us who are grain-sensitive in general could tolerate sprouted gluten-free grains? Does anyone know which grains will sprout easily? Quinoa maybe?

      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.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      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 !

      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:

      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).
