Pharoah's Phlour

[Guest guest]

I used the Pharoah's Phlour yesterday to make a peach

cobbler. It was great! The Phlour does smell a

little strong, so I added 1/3 C more sugar to the

batter, and it tasted really good. It does taste

different, more like a whole grain taste, but it was

still good. The best part is that didn't

have any reaction! He gobbled down a good sized

portion, and acted fine. No meltdowns, No screaming

with a bellyache in the night. I usually have diahrea

after eating wheat myself, and in fact, I just had my

first normal movement in months! (Sorry, didn't mean

to gross anyone out!) I am very pleased. By far the

best wheat sub that I've used. I also didn't add any

xanthan gum, and for my recipe it was fine. You might

have to experiment to see if you need it, if you

choose to try this flour. I've been doing a lot of

reading about Kamut and whether it is safe for our

kids, and the info is just so conflicting. Some say

no, because it is an ancient ancestor of wheat, some

say yes for the same reason. I won't give you

figures, because I don't have the articles to back

them up, but there have been clinical studies with

celiacs that showed great tolerance to Kamut. I kept

coming across the fact that there just hasn't been

sufficient studies on this grain to know anything for

sure, so I assume that's why it's on some forbidden

lists and some okay lists. So, I think it's one of

those things where you have to try it, if you want,

and see if your child has a reaction. This flour is

opening up huge possibilities in our family's diet.

Anyone know where I can buy it in bulk?

FYI..there are no celiac organizations in North America (and I believe the

world) who have any question about Kamut. They consider it to be 100% off

limits. So does the Canadian government.

7.15.7 Gluten-Free Foods [FDR, B.24.018, B.24.019] (Amended 31/01/97) A

food is not permitted to be labelled, packaged, sold or advertised in a

manner likely to create an impression that it is " gluten-free " unless it

does not contain wheat, including spelt and kamut, or oats, barley, rye,

triticale or any part thereof

The only literature I have ever seen that recommends kamut is in regards to

people with wheat allergies and not people with celiac.

Kamut contains all the gluten that regular wheat does, but some people who

are allergic to wheat can sometimes use it successfully. Celiacs should

never eat kamut as it does damage the villi.
