Sprouted Bread

Hi everyone,

A friend sent me this link:

Open Original Shared Link

She had just noticed the bread at Costco and emailed me about it. My first reaction was to say that if it's wheat, whether it is sprouted or not, it is off limits. I still feel that way... but can't get past the paragraph on that page that talks about gluten. They are not actually saying that gluten intolerant people can eat it, but they are insinuating it. What do you all think?

Thanks,

Nancy

Nope, you can't have it! It's confusing, but most of the sprouted breads do not claim that celiacs can eat it, only that it's easier to digest. Some even add unsprouted wheat to them.

I went to the link, go to their "wheat sensitive" page ... it says it's not intended for those with celiac.

Thanks, Carla. Exactly what I thought. They were tricky with their gluten statement. argggh.

On their link to "Wheat Sensitive?" they put this:

Note: We advise those with Celiac disease not to consider our current product line.

Wheat sensitive and Celiac are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT beasts.

No one that has Celiac should try "SPROUTED WHEAT" - it has enough gluten to make us really sick (or itchy) but some "wheat sensitive" folks may be able to tolerate.

The owner of my health food store almost sold me sprouted grain bread shortly after I went gluten-free, claiming that I could eat it. I was confused, and almost bought it, but put it back, because it just didn't seem right. I keep forgetting about going to set her straight. I have to go there tomorrow, and your post reminded me to let her know her error, thanks.

I hate this. It is so misleading. Sprouted bread and Ezekiel bread are products for which it is really true that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". People who know nothing about wheat sensitivity/gluten intolerance read the labels on these products and then think they are informed enough to inform others.

Wheat probably is hard to digest for everyone, so it's a good product. They just need better labeling.

Much as labelling is what they need I also think that they have obviously chosen to mislead.

My sister thought this would be okay for me too. I knew it wasn't, luckily.

It got me thinking, though, I wonder if those of us who are grain-sensitive in general could tolerate sprouted gluten-free grains? Does anyone know which grains will sprout easily? Quinoa maybe?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
