Re: Gluten-free sprouted bread? (was Nut Butters and Soaking)

Yeah, but when you're going through the withdrawls while trying to

quit it's sorely missed!

Got a question for you your Glutenatorness . I've been meaning to

ask after reading all your posts about gluten, (which is what promted

me to try a gf/cf diet)does the Ezekiel sprouted bread from Food for

Life have gluten? I've read a claim that celiacs are able to tolerate

ezekiel bread because the gluten has been pre-digested by the

sprouting process. I dont have any gut symptoms from wheat so i cant

really test this idea without ruining my abstinence. So have you tried

the Food for Life Brand and if so did you get any reaction? Also, if

anybody else has had success or failure with this bread I would

appreciate your feedback.

I cant handle the non-wheat versions as they are too expensive and

ruin my blood sugar control with their simple starches. The sprouted

bread is so slowly digested that it's great for diabetics (as long as

the gluten isnt an issue). I have type 1 diabetes and hashi's and my

mother is saddled with 4 autoimmune diseases along with IBS so that's

why I am trying a wheat and casein free diet as an experiment.

It's one of those debatable issues. I'd guess it is a lot lower

in gluten, but the only way to tell if a person reacts

or not is with biopsies etc. It is true that gluten can be

" deactivated " in various ways, so maybe it is. But no, I haven't

tried it. I don't like bread that much anyway.

I DO wonder about the " predigested " bit though. I mean, gluten

is what makes bread rise. If the gluten were truly predigested,

then the bread wouldn't look like wheat bread. Also, the thing

that causes the allergy is just one small peptide sequence out

of the whole protein ... so it isn't just that the protein is digested,

THAT ONE PART has to be digested. And like I said, if it was really

digested it wouldn't have that great texture. What could happen

maybe is that it gets hydrolyzed, or encoated in something so it

doesn't come into contact with the gut walls so much.

I agree that slower digesting stuff is better. You can sprout other

grains though to make bread. The Montina bread seems to be

lower glycemic too.

With those other diseases, I'd get a blood test (or better, the

stool test) to know for sure, you have a lot more at stake

than average. Going GF/CF doesn't always solve problems

right away (even when that IS the problem).

I have a package in my fridge of Ezekiel 4:9 and gluten is not listed, but yes

on the Alvarado St. Bakery Multi-Grain Sprouted bread.
