Sprouted Bread

Has anyone ever heard of "sprouted bread?" I am checking out all of the foods that are in or cafetieria at work, and one of the workers told me his sister-in-law has celiac disease. He said she is allowed to have "sprouted bread."

I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this before?

Thank you-

Cindy :)

Yes, I'm curious too! My mom just bought Ezekiel (SP?) Bread, and I've heard that it's gluten-free. Is that true?

Ah... the sprouted bread debate. It pops up every once in a while, and at the end of the day, I don't think any of us have yet seen a sprouted grain bread that tests gluten free. _IN THEORY_, grains that have completely sprouted and are no longer relying on the seed (grain) for energy, have converted ALL of the gluten that was there into energy to grow the sprout. The problem is, this isn't a step function, it's asymptotic. That is, you approach "no gluten", but can't ever know when you're close enough. To make the matter worse, since these things are being done in large batches, seeds don't all sprout at the same rate, and it's made in a large factory, cross contamination ends up getting you gluten in those loves anyway.

Shoot! My mom and I both ate a slice, too. :( We should have checked the package before assuming. Well, I'm definately not going to eat it again!

Ack, my mom just looked at the package and it had barley malt in it and it wasn't even 'sprouted'. I'm afraid I'm going to really pay for this one later! :unsure:

Thank you so much for the info! We're just OUT of luck for bread I guess. I did try the Kinnikinnick. Its ok. I make it past the first half of a sandwich (if that) then I end up throwing the rest out. Too dry! :)

This weekend I decided to roll the sandwich meat in lettuce as someone suggested - I liked that better than dry bread!

Thanks again everyone. B)

Cindy, try this with the Kinnikinnick bread, it comes out better this way:

Keep it frozen until you need it. Take as much as you need out of the freezer and put pieces in a single layer on a plate. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until it is soft. It stays more moist this way and doesn't taste so dry. If you just thaw a couple pieces and make a snadwich it will end up tasting dry. I like to toast the peices a little bit, but that is just me, I have eaten it a lot of different ways. Toasting it a little seems to help it stay together, untoasted it starts to fall apart, but not as bad as ofther gluten-free breads. Most are like cardboard, only they crumble when you eat them!

My favorite is the Sunflower Flax Seed bread. The White Sandwich bread is really good too.

God bless,

Mariann

You can also roll stuff in a corn tortilla. I've given up on gluten-free bread for sandwiches.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
