Safest Buckwheat Groats (Whole Buckwheat)

Greetings! I'm new here. My husband (who has celiac disease) has become extremely sensitive to cross-contamination. After a bad experience with Bob's Red Mill buckwheat (we found **whole grains of wheat** in a package labeled gluten-free!) he is afraid to eat buckwheat. But we both really miss the yummy breads, pancakes, etc we used to make with it. Can anyone recommend other brands of whole buckwheat that you've found more reliable? Thanks!

I have not yet tried it, but Wolff's brand whole buckwheat groats has been recommended to me by multiple people. It's on my list of foods to try out soon. :-)

I believe this is the particular size/type that people have recommended.

DilettanteSteph, is this the right one? I thought I recalled you were eating this safely, yes?

EDIT: oh, and jeesh, I almost forgot. Welcome to the forums!

That buckwheat is one of the few processed things I can eat. I go through it and I've never found wheat in it yet. I have found what seemed to be lentils and sorghum, though. It's the only "grain" I am eating at present.

Thanks! We'll try it. So I guess we're not the only ones who've had trouble with Bob's? They didn't even reply when we wrote to complain and sent them the actual grains of wheat...

Two in my family do seem to have trouble with BRM. But to be fair, we tend to have trouble with most processed flour mixes, too.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      The Benfotiamine and thiamax need magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes. Yes, go ahead and take the Benfotiamine and Thiamax now and include the magnesium as soon as possible. Yes, take the magnesium at breakfast, too. I take my Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax and B Complex at the beginning of breakfast. I take the magnesium after I finish...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @knitty kitty thank you for replying so quickly! I have not done well at all taking vitamins or supplements, I have such a hard time swallowing even small pills, so I have resorted to crushing them and taking them with Gatorade. Pretty much I eat baked chicken tenders, Fairlife chocolate protein shakes, gluten free crackers. Thank you so much for the advice...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think, I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when...

      The thiamax and benfo I ordered should come tomorrow. I will start Friday ny b complex the benfo and thiamax for breakfast. I haven't ordered magnesium yet. I wanted to start with this first then add magnesium. Should it be fine to take b complex the thia/benfo and eventually magnesium at breakfast together? Thanks

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not bode well for good oral health or good health in general.  It can take two years or more for good healing of the lining of the small bowel after adopting a consistently gluten free diet. In the meantime, adding in good quality supplements can help compensate for poor nutritional absorption efficiency. Common over the counter vitamins and supplements are often optimized for shelf life rather than good assimilation/utilization by the body. We commonly recommend that those struggling with nutritional deficiencies start taking high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of E daily, D3, Zinc and magnesium glycinate. They need to be checked to make sure they are gluten free since wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills and vitamins. Costco Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are often good choices. What is causing your swallowing problems? Is it the thrush?

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think,  I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when I thought I had a sinus infection. So I got a z pack. Then I noticed my tongue was coated and it was white except right down the middle which was more brown and crusty, like the corners of my mouth. I also have dry mouth and I went way too long before I started treating it. So then I had some kind of huge pill and Nystatin mouthwash. My mother in law's new husband ( they live upstairs) started complaining of exactly the same symptoms as me. He went to urgent care, they said it wasn't thrush, it was shingles. We both went to our dentist's for cleanings, I don't have insurance so I really couldn't tell they cleaned my teeth at all. But she said my mouth looked good, all cleared up. I had a day and a half of no pain and then it came right back. So I got more pills and miracle mouthwash. There are times it feels like dry socket and times it feels like it's bleeding but it's not. I don't see any gum or facial swelling, I did see a couple of tiny ulcers on my bottom lip, roof of my mouth is still sore, and my tongue and cheeks are still a little coated. I am just at a loss. My mother in law's husband, they  took swabs and called back a week later and said it was a new herpes variant virus that is going around but not contagious. He was cured after a week! And I'm going on 3 months 😭
