Kamut Flour

Hi I made a recipe and used Kamut because it wasn't listed as one of the celiac flours to avoid. However, I read in a book that it contains gluten. Has anyone tried it? Is there anything I can do to help minimize the reaction?

Thanks!

Kamut IS wheat :o

make sure you drink LOTS of water to flush out your system... that's about the only thing I can think of to help.

Thanks so much for the confirmation. I was hoping I was wrong about the Kamut. I just feel overwhelmed with cooking most everything from scratch and starting out. As I was eating the pancakes I said, "I can't tell the difference between it and wheat." I suspect I'm gluten intolerant but I know my daughter is. What a father's day breakfast...I've spent the moring crying about the mistake. My stomach hurts but I'm not sure if it's the worry or the gluten! :D

Thanks again and thanks for the water tip! :)

We really like the "Sylvan Border Farm gluten-free products Wheat free Pancake and wafflle mix. It's a 12 oz bag. www.sylvanborderfarm.com

You don't HAVE to bake and create from scratch just because you're gluten free. I don't. The idea that it's cheaper to cook with mixes doesn't apply to me because I'm not much of a cook. I burn everything. And others end up throwing out more product than they use. Kinnikinnick has great products. Gluten free donuts that are perfectly fine. We add an extra layer of Pillsbury frosting *read containers for gluten-free ones* to give the donuts some more sugar power. And this Cebe bread mix I just got is awesome. SIMPLE recipe. Add a little oil, eggs and cheese...presto. I made garlic bread sticks to go with the Tinkyada spahetti we had and you couldn't tell it wasn't food straight from olive garden.

Take a look at the Celiac.com list of Forbidden Ingredients. It'll list all the other names of wheat or wheat-related grains. Kamut, spelt, semolina, bulgar, einkorn, farina, graham flour, and emmer are all right out. :-)

While pancakes are pretty much just as easy to cook from scratch (there's little difference in measuring out four dry ingredients as opposed to one (the mix)), you don't have to if you don't want to. There are LOTS of pancake mixes available; you just have to find one that you like.

(Of course, I don't mean to imply that other baked goods are just as easily made from scratch - there's a reason there's SO much discussion about bread recipes on this site. ;-) )

Excuse me, but for those who are cooking intolerant, increasing the number of items you have to measure in a recipe increases the chances of excruciating disappointment. For those in whom this cooking intolerance exists, it is best to avoid extreme measuring, multiple ingredients and cooking, if at all possible. ;)

No Kamut as said by many people before me but there are other gluten-free pancake mixes out there.

Sorry, I don't see it. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying I don't see it. Filling one round plastic container from a bag, and dumping it into a bowl doesn't seem extreme in any way to me. I maintain that cooking is a skill that anyone can learn, but I accept that some people don't want to. The thing is, in the case of pancakes, you're talking about either measuring out pancake mix, eggs, and liquid, or measure out flour 1, flour 2, leavening agend, eggs, and liquid. If you're talking about a whole loaf of bread, where the mix has *everything* but the liquid in a "single use" size, saving you from measuring out four flours, two sugars, one or two leavening agents, two liquids, a fat, and any spices, then you're talking about a pretty big difference. Pancakes generally aren't that way.

I guess I just don't understand the force of the words you use: excrutiating and extreme. A mistake in cooking is just a mistake in cooking. I've made some rather horrible things in my time (mmm... straight from the oven to the trash) and it can be disappointing, but if you're trying something you haven't done before, it's important not to set your expectations so high that disappointment is likely.

... ah, I get off topic into a more philosophical realm.

Suffice it to say I don't intened any rudeness, don't understand the line that you've drawn there, and accept that any of the choices along the spectrum of "won't cook to save my life" to "grows everything from the ground up and won't touch a packaged product with a 10 foot pole" may be the right one for any particular individual at any particular stage in their life.

Tarnalberry,

You didn't get it because I was kidding and you took me seriously. :huh:

You're right in that cooking is a learnable skill for everyone, though lack of interest, inability to pay attention to detail and numb taste buds may affect positive outcomes. I think riding a bike is easy enough and learnable to all, though a woman I know just can't do it.....or should I say, doesn't want to learn, won't try and has no interest, just to be clinical about it all?

Tarnalberry,

Sorry, I logged off and was thinking about your passive aggressive post to me and I hopped back on to check if you're the one who was having that passive aggressive back and forth with Eloisa...and it WAS you. (I was lingering on the outskirts of that one, posting about the fact that I'd COOKED rice crispy treats with fruity pebbles.) No surprise, really. Listen, I'm not interested in your clever brand of nastiness. Yes, you're very smart with the cleverly phrased word jabs. Probably never make a spelling, punctuation or grammar mistake. Yes, you probably don't quit til you feel you've soundly beaten down your opponent. Good. You win this one too. My joke sucked. If it had been any good, a smart person like you would have gotten it and laughed a hearty approval. Now leave me alone.

Thanks for the information. I don't know why I didn't see the Kamut on the list. My child is eating so much rice and corn I was looking for some other sustitutes. I must have system overload not to have seen it! I've always enjoyed cooking but now I'm learning to cook in a different way. We've just found out about some food allergies that make things a little more challenging. It's great to know that there are mixes and products for all types of baking etc. I just need to take the stress off for a while instead of trying to be SUPER MOM. :lol:

Thanks again!

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      On my Celiac journey and discovered I was also reacting to other types of gluten. The FDA in it's finite wisdom only classifies 'wheat, barley and rye' as the gluten's to be considered when a company tests for and stamps their products as gluten free. I am curious as to how many of you are aware of the other types of glutens? And another question to those on a 'traditional' gluten free diet , who are also still sick and struggling, are you also reacting to these other types of gluten as listed below? NOTE:  The new movement if you want to call it that, is now called 'grain free' and that is the true definition of gluten free. I no longer suffer with ataxia, confusion, anxiety, depression, OCD, Insomnia, ADD, acid reflux, dermatitis herpetiformis, migraines, headaches, and weight issues all due to going 'grain free'. I hope to reach as many of you out there that are still struggling and unaware of what might be setting you off such as my most recent glutening was from a vegan supplement that contained 'magnesium sterate' and 'glucose syrup' both of which are from Zien (zane) gluten at 55%. I was covered in sores that were bleeding, I was seeing squigly lines when I was trying to drive, had acid reflux, insomnia, and nightmares all from the gluten in Corn. Here are the other types of glutens that Celiacs and Gluten Intolerant people also react to: Wheat -Alpha Gliadin Gluten- 69% Rye - Secalinin gluten-30-50% Oats-Avenin gluten -16% Barley-Hordein Gluten -46-52% Millet-Panicin Gluten-40% Corn-Zien Gluten -55% Rice-Orzenin Gluten-5% Sorghum-Kafirin gluten-52% and Teff-Penniseiten Gluten 11%.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention again that IF thimerosal is used in a flu vaccine the amount of ethylmercury in a single vaccine dose would be extremely small, typically around 25 micrograms (µg) or less. For context, this is much lower than the levels of methylmercury found in some seafood. Ethylmercury is metabolized and excreted from the body much faster than methylmercury. Its half-life in the blood is about 7 days, compared to methylmercury, which can persist for months. The dose of ethylmercury in vaccines is far below the threshold known to cause toxicity so would not require chelation.

      Vaccines

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If you have poor reactions to vaccines, preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals, you may be deficient in Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine is needed in the immune response and production of antibodies.  Thiamine can be depleted by vaccines if you are already low to begin with due to the Malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  Thiamine can be destroyed by sulfide preservatives in vaccines, which can result in the body's poor response to vaccines.  Thiamine also chelates metals which allows those metals to be removed in the feces.  Chelation removes thiamine from the body, resulting in a state of thiamine deficiency.  Sugar alcohols need to be processed through the liver using thiamine.  Again, if you're low in thiamine as many Celiac are because of the Malabsorption of celiac disease, vaccines can be a tipping point, resulting in a thiamine deficient state. High doses of Thiamine required to correct thiamine deficiency states are safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine has no toxicity level.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins need to be taken together because they interact together to sustain health.   References: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25542071/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Pasballard, Keep in mind those gluten free processed snacks are not required to have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace vitamins lost in processing like gluten containing products.   We need the eight essential B vitamins to turn those carbs into energy to fuel our bodies and make enzymes that sustain life.  Sudden weight gain (or weight loss) can be symptomatic of Thiamine Vitamin B1 deficiency.  Thiamine is the B vitamin with the shortest storage time, and so  thiamine deficiency shows up first with vague symptoms like weight gain or loss, fatigue, not sleeping well, achy or cramping muscles, digestive issues and headaches.   Taking vitamin and mineral supplements helps boost your body's ability to absorb these nutrients which keeps our bodies healthy.  B Complex vitamins and Vitamin D (which regulates inflammation) are usually low in people with Celiac disease.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @WildFlower1, Here's an article that explains about the updated gluten challenge guidelines.  Be sure to read the comments below the article. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Low iron can affect antibody production, causing false negatives on antibody testing.  Do you currently struggle with low iron?   Low Vitamin D can cause amenorrhea, cessation of menstrual periods.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is a big part of Celiac disease.  We don't absorb well the eight essential B vitamins and other vitamins and minerals like calcium, resulting in osteopenia, hair loss, infertility, and neurological symptoms.  Unfortunately, doctors are not given much training in nutritional deficiencies and don't recognize the connection with the malabsorption of Celiac disease. We get very frustrated here with doctors ordering us to put a harmful substance in our bodies in order for them to say "that makes you sick".   Duh, we know that already. Do try to increase your consumption of gluten for at least two weeks before retesting.  Eat the chewy kinds of breads.  Cookies and cakes don't have as much gluten in them as those chewy artisan breads and thick pizza crusts. I admire your tenacity at continuing the gluten challenge.  Do keep us posted on your progress.  We'll continue to support you on your journey to diagnosis and recovery.
