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.

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
