I have a wheat allergy and just recently discovered Kamut. it is so good tasting and doesn't effect me at all in a negative way. Here is some info on this grain:0 Maybe this is something you all might want to look into. Kamut brand wheat was named one of the ten best foods by whole foods author David Goldbeck. Physicians Recommend Kamut Brand Products To Wheat Sensitive Patients For those suffering wheat sensitivities, kamut brand products also play a unique role. Research studies concluded " For most wheat sensitive people, kamut grain can be an excellent substitute for common wheat. " Scientists and physicians tested two different wheat sensitive populations - those with delayed immune responses and those who have immediate immune responses. In the delayed immune response group, a remarkable 70% showed greater sensitivity to common wheat than kamut brand grain. In the immediate immune response group (the severely allergic)70% had no, or only minor, reaction to kamut brand wheat. However, those with allergies should always seek the advice of a physician. No research has been done with those suffering from gluten intolerance so no recommendations can be made at this time. For many wheat sensitive people, however, kamut brand grain has become " the wheat you can eat. " \ Only Organically Grown Perhaps the most significant aspect of the introduction and cultivation of kamut brand wheat is that it is an important new crop for sustainable agriculture. This grain's ability to produce high quality without artificial fertilizers and pesticides makes it an excellent crop for organic farming Pearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
