Has anyone tried any of their buckwheat products? I'm looking for replacement products for my current ones.

Check out the recipes also. There are some really good looking ones!

I am lucky enough to live a few miles from them. They are my choice for buckwheat products. I buy their Pocono line. I even use their buckwheat hulls in pillows and as a mulch around my trees and flower bed. Absolutely no CC risk with them and good products.

Well, I was going to place an order until I saw how much they charged for shipping! :o It doesn't seem to matter if you have a big or small order they charge the same flat shipping of $19.95 and $7.00 handling ($26.95 total), OUCH. I was looking on another site to order organic/gluten free for other flours and I had a total weight of 11+ lbs and over $60.00 worth of items and shipping was $14 and change. I don't mind paying a little more for a better product, and expect reasonable shipping charges, but that seems excessive to me.

You should be able to find it in some of your local stores. It could be in your health or organic food section or in some places in with the cereals. You could try calling around to some places or calling the company directly to see what stores in your area might carry it. If you can't find it locally give me a PM and perhaps I could pick some up and ship it to you. Priority mail flat rate shipping isn't cheap but it should be less than that and a med size box would hold a few boxes of the Kasha or Cream of Buckwheat.

I have found the cream of buckwheat in some stores locally but I don't have any interest it that. I did ask two of the places if they could order the flour and groats and they said no. I'm waiting to hear back from EarthFare to see if they can order. If I don't get anywhere I may take you up on that offer. I'll let you know.

You could grind the cream of buckwheat into flour yourself. You could use an inexpensive coffee grinder for that. That would at least give you the chance to find out if you react and how you like it before spending a lot of money on a mail order. Some really sensitives like me have problems with that, or it could have been an intolerance, but seemed to improve when I washed the stuff. I think that there are some cc issues in the fields.

It never dawned on me to do that with the cream of buckwheat. Thanks for the tip! I bought a small bag of buckwheat groats by Eden Organic that I thought I could grind. I don't know though if my little coffee grinder will tolerate those. I don't know if the other products were a problem for sure or not, but I am trying anything right now.

My grinder, which was the cheapest they had at Walmart, did grind the groats. Hope it works for you.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so...

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and...

      dermatitis herpetiformis with all grains

      Ok thanks Trents. I had the lesions biopsied and confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis, so I guess dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with other grains not typically gluten. I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today...

My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.

I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today. I simply never read anyone explain how grains could worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and I feel that information should be made much more readily available. Hey if someone tries going grain free and there's no improvement, no loss, however it drastically changed my life for the better and could at least be offered as a suggestion to sufferers from dermatitis herpetiformis. The other option is Dapsome and I wouldn't want anyone taking that chemical if there was a more natural solution. thanks again
