Gluten Free Wheat Bread?

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

- 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?

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
