New article about celiac disease and the possibility of sourdough bread

[Guest guest]

Looks like this isn’t simply regular sourdough bread; the bread is put through a special process and it sounds like it is not made with regular wheat flour. I think we have a long way to go before we consider this the answer to eating gluten-free. This was a very small study, and not the first of its kind. I would like to see the tests used to evaluate the harm of this product be more than just TTG and biopsy. Keep in mind that the authors of the study say this needs further research. Pity the poor folks who were in the group that got the regular full wheat bread. http://www.foodnavigator.com/Science-Nutrition/Fermented-wheat-flour-may-be-safe-for-celiac-patients-suggests-study It is possible to make gluten-free sourdough bread at home from your own starter; if you aren’t that adventurous, I think there are places you can buy GF sourdough bread.

It is still in the early stages but I was wondering if anyone else had any input on this. My sourdough deprived taste buds are going into over drive at the mere possibility of having that flavor again.http://fyiliving.com/diet/special-diets/allergies-food-sensitivities/celiacs-can-say-yes-to-sourdough-bread/
