Gluten Free Wheat Bread?


Guest Viola

Recommended Posts

Guest Viola

I just got this from the Celiac Canada post.

From LifeScript Healthy News Bites:

Gluten Free Bread May be On the Horizon - 04/01/05

Sufferers of celiac disease, the condition that prevents many from consuming wheat and other grains, may finally be able to enjoy toast with their morning coffee. Researchers at the University of Oslo, Norway, recently located the proteins responsible for gluten intolerance and are in the process of identifying gluten-gree wheat strains. One such wheat, known as einkorn, has been used to make breads for centuries in the Middle East and parts of Europe. Though einkorn and other gluten-gree wheats currently remain too difficult to harvest widely, the research teams involved in the celiac study believe that breeding einkorn with more stable wheat strains could result in a "high quality" gluten-free bread in the near future.

Thank's Shirley. I would love a good piece of bread. When I went to the celiac conference at Stanford University in October there was a company named I can eat that. They had the best bread and pizza crust. I guess they don't sell it by mail but there are some stores in the bay area that have it. The following stores are carrying it. (I wish they sold it by me!) I think the web site is Icaneatthat@comcast.net

We are very pleased to announce the introduction of The

- was either of these extracts published on April 1st?

- will it end up utterly gluten-free or only low gluten?

- in any event it won't be any use to considerable numbers of people with celiac disease who, like me, are wheat intolerant per se.

Wheat is one of the gluten containing grains. So don't eat wheat. This craze for manufacturing low gluten wheat or (reportedly) growing it is astounding.

Surely it can't be cheaper - or more money-making - to go through all this jiggery pokery than to grow some rice, millet, tapioca and all the other things - all of which are good for non-celiacs - all of which are good for everybody - they have a 100% market, in every country.

If you are one of that profile of celiac disease which is not intolerant to the fibre, starch etc of wheat - which it is notnatural to isolate - then like everyone you decide what's OK for you. Personally some of you have spent the last month repeatedly telling me on this forum to not consider my position freakish and embrace my proper diet wholeheartedly. On it hinges my economic wellbeing as professional weakness has meant I probably shan't have a suitable medical certificate as a backstop, namely I eat successfully or sink. Some of you told me to consider my old diet out of line and since then when I bungle and eat some, it tastes like a piece of wood.

What disturbs me is the propaganda which is not sincere. Can any of you figure out the motives of the dealings of companies and organisations towards us in this gluten-crazed society? On commercial diversity my long term wellbeing depends. :huh::o<_<:angry::(:unsure::blink:

Clarification: I don't mean don't eat wheat if you're sure it's good for you, I meant before this jiggery pokery.

We are a diverse group and have different profiles - another one is the with/without oats (avenin) - I go without (regardless of the contamination issue).

I can't have wheat at all. It is a grass, and I react badly to grasses, including rice. Instead of spending all that money trying to grow a gluten-free wheat, why don't they just put it into harvesting oats by hand, and avoiding contamination of them, so that celiacs that can tolerate oats can have them? I do miss bread, but not bad enough to pay as much as it will cost, and to risk the cross-contamination!

I agree with the above. I ate a piece of bread a few months ago, I just wanted a good sandwich. Needlesss to say I got very ill and it's not worth that. The other strange thing I noticed is the bread didn't taste as good as it used to? I won't be eating it again!

But actually, wheat isn't good for anyone! It does have some nutritional value, but the human species developed for a long time without eating wheat. Wheat was introduced to our diet in the form of rewards. given by the Romans and the Greeks, who got it from the east, then other places as well. The point, though, is that by the time we were exposed to it, we had developed so much that our digestive symptoms were not supposed to even have it. While rice is fully digested, 10% of some of the other gluten-containing grains can't be digested.

Michael, it is dated the first isn't it :o Makes one wonder, I would have thought the Celiac list should have checked for April fools though.

I'm not too worried about getting wheat back in the diet anyway. One does just fine without it.

The bread didn't taste as good? Is it possible that the longer we go without it, the more we lose our taste for it? I have heard my dad say that is what happened to him with cigarettes. If that is so, how long will it take before I no longer crave Oreos?

I think so...at first I didn't like certain gluten-free products that I now love :D .

I think it might be true, we get used to eating more natural foods then the wheat or gluten ones don't taste so good.

I really don't crave cookies anymore. it might be that or I just figured it's not worth the price I will pay.

I have been craving donuts, but that might be because people have been eating tham at work?

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
