Hello,

I'm wondering how many of you sensitive celiacs can eat the millet bread from Deland Bakery with no problems?? Just curious. Because the bread is really good and doesn't seem to bother me. Is anyone eating it now??

THanks

I wouldn't touch it. They have been shown to have some serious problems with gluten contamination in the past. They would have to show some independent testing to prove they have resolved their past problems before I would trust their products.

Be careful out there.

I've been eating it for over a year at least. I'm pretty sensitive, and I've had no problems whatsoever. It's my favorite bread! I like the millet and flax seed bread a lot!

I was eating the rolls over the summer, was told from the owner of the store they are gluten free, I was having a lot of stomach pain...I called them,[FL, I think] they said they are not Gluten Free, none of the breads are, I was so mad..no wonder they taste great

Well, I just sent an email to Deland. The owner of my local health food store has told me it's gluten free, even though it says it may contain gluten on the packaging. She told me that since the U.S. does not officially recognize millet as a gluten free grain, that is why the statement is on the package. (She said most other countries consider millet to be a gluten free grain.) I know if gluten were an actual ingredient, it would have to be listed on the package. I do not see any variation of wheat, rye, barley or oats or anything close to that on the ingredients list. I'll be interested in what they respond with, and of course, I'll let everyone know what they say!

I was told by the owner of our local health food store that her sister-in-law is a Celiac who is VERY sensitive to gluten and she has been eating the millet bread for a long time with NO symptoms or problems.

So---- who knows what to think ???? :(

I bought some last month at a local health food store in Quakertown Pa. while visiting family. I questioned the owners wife (who is gluten intolerant) about the may contain gluten or yeast label. She said she talked to the company and was told that they put that on their because they have oats in the building and there could be a possibility that the oat flour could be in the air and get in the bread. The ingredients I was told was gluten free. I have eaten several slices with no issues. Sounds like the company has given different people different stories. The store I bought it at said it was their favorite bread for their celiac customers!!!

Hi again. I got on a thread at another site from 2005 that said their bread was tested and showed that it contained 20% gluten!! One woman said her husband ate it for 6 months and then started to get very sick. Seems his guts were being destroyed again. It took him months to recover. At the time the label may contain gluten was not on the bread. I e-mailed the company and am waiting for a response. Now that I think of it, after the first slice I tried I felt kind of light-headed. But have eaten a few more and was ok. I am throwing out the loaf. Not taking any chances. There must be contamination going on of some kind.

I just spoke to someone from Deland Bakery. He told me that there is no wheat, rye, barely or oats in the ingredients. He said they have to put that it "may contain gluten" on the package, as the ingredients they get from outside sources, may be held in an area with gluten. (like gluten could be in the air) He said they test for gluten as well. I think it's just a thing they have to put on the package to cover their butts. I still haven't got a response from the email I sent on their contact us page, but I finally called. He's supposed to email me what he told me too, so we'll see if he does.

Thanks Katie for this info. If Deland Bakery also tests for gluten--- did he happen to mention if their bread passes the gluten free test??? I assume it does. I hope it does. :)

Your welcome CeeCee! I'm going to assume it does pass, as I said something like "So, if you test for gluten, and it tested positive, it would be on the package or something?" And he said "yes". I haven't ever had any problems eating it, so I think it's safe for me anyways! (I still haven't got an actual email from them...although the guy spoke with an accent, hopefully he got my email address right...)

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      I could not find the thread, but I recall at least one user who was drinking regular gluten beer daily but getting celiac blood tests done often (I think it was monthly) and doing a biopsy each year and all celiac disease tests were always negative. Everyone is different, but in general regular beer would be considered low gluten (not gluten-free!). I have...

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      I have same question as trents above. After I mentioned how much I liked Wendy's chili, a neighbor gave me a can b/c I didn't know could buy it in a can. Is gluten free in Wendy's restaurant, but can doesn't say gluten free so afraid to eat it. (Can says provides 50% Daily Value of protein, another plus.) Below are ingredients on can. Would the experts...

      Gluten free nuts

      Azure Standard (https://www.azurestandard.com/) is one of my gluten-free vendors. I've purchased nuts, "grains", flours, and many other products there. If you are not familiar with Azure, you have to set up an account (no cost) and get your purchases either via shipping (expensive) or "drop" (free if you buy a reasonable minimum). Search their website...

      Gluten free nuts

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Azure Standard (https://www.azurestandard.com/) is one of my gluten-free vendors. I've purchased nuts, "grains", flours, and many other products there. If you are not familiar with Azure, you have to set up an account (no cost) and get your purchases either via shipping (expensive) or "drop" (free if you buy a reasonable minimum). Search their website for a drop location in your area. Each drop location has a local volunteer(?) coordinator who coordinates with the local customers. I go to a drop 4-5 miles from my home that delivers every 2 weeks. We seem to range from 8-18 customers at a given delivery. The downside of the drop is that you have to be there when they say. They give you a few days notice of the precise time, though, and they are punctual. Their pricing relative to other vendors for various products ranges from best price to overpriced, so you have to shop and compare. Quality is mostly good but once in a while you get a dud - however they've been very responsive to giving me a credit on the few occasions when I've complained. In my opinion, they are not as transparent about gluten as they could be. Some products are labeled "gluten free" and so far I trust that. Many products are labeled "Azure Market products are re-packaged by Azure for your convenience in a facility that meets Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) standards, including an approved allergen control program." I've corresponded with them over this and they all but say this means gluten free. I've come to trust this, with a little nervousness, but I wish they would be more explicit. They also sell a lot of gluten-containing products. Frankly, I think they are overlooking a business opportunity to become a trusted source for the gluten-free community by not being more clear about gluten. Among Azure products I've purchased are "Walnuts, Baker's Pieces, Raw", "Cashews, Raw, Large White Pieces, Organic" and "Missouri Northern Pecan Grower Pecans Fancy Native, Raw, Halves". The walnuts and cashews were very good and the pecans were fabulous. For almonds, I've been buying Blue Diamond unsalted when they go on sale (mostly from Safeway). The salted ones are probably fine too but the flavored ones I avoid now that I am gluten-free. I also buy products including nuts from CostCo (cashews, shelled pistachios). Their nuts usually contain a "made in a facility that processes wheat" statement, which is scary. I've contacted customer service about various Kirkland products and they will usually give you a response <<for a specific lot>> whether it really was made in a wheat facility (sometimes yes sometimes no). For the "Kirkland Signature Fancy Whole Cashews, Unsalted, 40 oz" and "Kirkland Signature Shelled Pistachios, Roasted & Salted, 1.5 lbs", I got a "safe" answer and I ate them. I got an "unsafe" answer once for "Kirkland Signature Fancy Whole Cashews with Sea Salt, 2.5 lbs" and "Kirkland Signature Dry Roasted Macadamia Nuts, Salted, 1.5 lbs" and I don't look at these anymore. Again, these answers were given for specific lots only. They will accept an unopened return for cash if you find out you don't want it. Costco also sells "Kirkland Signature Super Extra-Large Peanuts, 2.5 lbs" that are labeled gluten free. My celiac kid eats them all the time. I pretty much only eat food that I prepare myself from scratch. My celiac symptoms are not that overt, so I can't say for certain I could identify a glutening. However, my antibody levels dropped 25 fold (into normal range) since my dx earlier this year. Hope this helps.

      Doterra literally has saved my life hands down.Nateral supplements that really are pure grade and does work organically with ones body. I had to stop all my nateral supplements to be a good puppet for medical so I can get the financial help that my body won't allow me to do more days than not these days, every day with menopause.....Not feeling well.Had to switch " medical team" because I was told I wasn't celiac though I am gluten-free since 1994! I am also positive HLA-DQ2. I think doctors down play it because on quest lab work it states " However 39% of the U.S  general population carry these HLA-DQ variants, as a consequence, the presence of HLA-DQ2 or  DQ8 or both variants is not perse diagnostic of celiac disease". Hintz the down playing of celiac disease......This needs to change because doctors seem to down playe it because when I showed the past 2nd and 3rd  doctors that I waisted my time on this year showed my that line and absolutely down played it.4th pcp this year.I live in Patterson California and would love for a few of us to go to mayors office and make this disease heard

      Back home after the scope.  Dr said as soon as he got in there it was clear signs of celiacs.  Must be a decent amount of damage.  I don’t remember the post procedure conversation as the anesthesia was still wearing off but that’s what my wife says anyway.  Still the biopsy results to come back but pretty definitive and now I get to learn to live gluten free
