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...)

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      heaps of hope!

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.
