Are Sprouted Breads Ok?

[Froger850]

I've recently come across "sprouted" breads and of course not being too familiar and new to Celiac's I asked the lady at the health food store if spruted bread would be OK for me. She said because the grains are new they have not yet developed the gluten and are therefore safe to eat. She really doesn't have me sold based on her vague explanation and unconfident tone. Does anyone know if these "sprouted" grains are OK for me to eat?

Here is a list of Food For Life's gluten-free products. The sprouted grain breads are not gluten-free, though they are easier for those who are not celiac to digest because of the form of the grain. They are not gluten-free, however.

Be wary of the things that you hear from health food store employees. The people working there often have little knowledge on what has gluten and what doesn't and are apt to give you bogus information. Not saying that there aren't some knowledgeable people, but many of them are not.

Gluten grains contain gluten, even if they are sprouted. If the sprouted grains are wheat, barley, rye or oats, the bread is not safe. Hope this helps.

That's right, those breads have gluten. And in case somebody else tells you that Spelt and Kamut are not wheat and are safe (as a health food store employee once told me), that wouldn't be true, either.
