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...)

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
