Seed Malt

I'm looking for a gluten-free gochujang paste, a korean pepper paste sold in tubs. They all have wheat listed except for one brand. It lists seed malt as an ingredient. What the heck is seed malt? Naturally the word malt scares me but the allergen list just says soy. I know the translation of asian product ingredients sometimes gets mixed up. Does anyone know what seed malt is?

This is the most useful information I could find. It sounds like they're specifying it isn't barley malt? Not a whole lot of particularly useful, fast and easy to find info on seed malt. I did see one company post on facebook about it that they made it from rice. I doubt every company does though, I imagine it could be from plenty of types of seeds. http://criticalmas.com/2013/11/commercial-gluten-free-gochujang-now-available/

Seed malt is apparently an umbrella term and it includes some seeds like barley which will be a gluten problem. That MAY be broken down in the fermentation, depending on the cultures they use. But without testing and certification? You are rolling the dice.

I was having to find gluten free gochujang sauce awhile back and found this https://www.amazon.com/Gochujang-Korean-Chili-Sauce-7-5Oz/dp/B00OQGC20U/ref=asc_df_B00OQGC20U/?

      I just got the results from my upper endoscopy/biopsies. Would you be able to click on my recent post from tonight and let me know what you think? I really appreciate it. I want to make note that I do have Lymphocytic Colitis. Thanks for your time.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, that's the one. IGA Quantitative. What is the reference range given for that one? If no reference range was given, is there another notation associated with it indicating it was either low or high or neither? If not, I would assume your score does not indicate IGA deficiency.

      The IGA tests 5 years ago were: Transglutaminase IGA (EMY IGA) (CENT-tTG), <2 Immunoglobulin A (CENT-IGA), 246 IgA Quantitative was done last month, that was 261. Is that the one you mean?

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.
