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. :D Millet bread is ok, at least it's edible :rolleyes: 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. :rolleyes: 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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
