Need Advice On Bread.

[scudderkidwell]

We have been using Millet Bread for the last 4 months that my husband's been gluten-free. As far as we can tell, he hasn't had a reaction to it. I became concerned when I found this:

Open Original Shared Link

and it listed Millet as containing Gluten. In the Bette Hagman Cookbook, it listed Millet as being gluten-free. What is everyones opinion on this? I also found out that Millet does come from the corn family, so if your allergic to corn, it's not recommened. Thank heavens he's not allergic to corn. Millet bread is ok, at least it's edible We use a Bamboo steamer all the time to steam the bread when it gets dry. What other bread does everyone like?

Thanks again, Wife of a Celiac, Jean

Not sure where they got their info but millet and amaranth are both gluten-free grains. Be warned, however, if you are eating the Deland millet bread. It's tested out as severely contaminated more than once.

Thanks for the warning. We do get our bread from Whole Foods in Winter Park, FL and it comes from Deland. Wonderful. Do you know any other place in the area where you can get bread, Millet or another kind that would be good. I would order on the internet but it seems crazy to pay postage and have the bread sit on the porch in the weather and bugs until we get home from work. Any sugestions would be great.

Thanks, Wife of a Celiac, Jean

Maybe others can suggest a bread they like. Personally I haven't found one that I think is worth the money so I just don't eat bread any more.

Everybody who ate the Deland bread said it was the best but I kept seeing people who said they got sick from it. Everybody assumed that millet just didn't agree with some people. But then three different people had different loaves tested by chemists. All tests came back with a pretty high level of wheat -- as high as 10 percent in one. Now we know why it tasted so good.

Millet and amaranth were once thought to be a source of gluten, but they have since been given the "all clear" and are now considered safe for celiacs. Perhaps the list you read was using antiquated information.

I switched from the Deland millet bread to a brown rice bread. Then I made a BIG mistake and tried (one slice) of the New Harvest bake shop Millet bread with Cranberry & Walnuts......I'm not allergic to cranberries or walnuts, but the one slice of this bread really messed up my stomach for several days. I therefore assume that there is cross contamination in that bakery also. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences. My stomach doesn't like it when I experiment.
