That was an interesting article. I tried both Atkins plan and protein

power, wasn't able to stick with it, too much soy. Sometimes I think

it's hard enough being celiac with out adding anything extra. This issue

of Sulleys Living Without Magazine had some interesting alternative

grains, like Teff, and Montina, and Mesquite. I have to admit, I haven't

heard of these flours before, except for Teff. as anyone ever done any

baking with any of these? If so how did it work. I am trying to get more

whole grains in my diet. I seem to have a problem with Millet, even

though it's supposed to be gluten free. What do you do to get more grain

in your diet? Judy

Judy-

 

I have to admit other then teff I have not heard of these other grains

either. We eat a lot of brown rice, millet, and corn for grains. I was

going to add all the different flours, but they are not all grains. We

eat a lot of seeds too. Hope this helps.

I use a variety of different flours too. I use Betty Hagmans books alot,

but substitute either emes or agar for gelatin, and I have taken to

using almond milk instead of soy. It seems lately I have been having a

reaction to soy anyway. I use her flour mixes though, and I have one

vegan gluten free cookbook that I use. I also use Mary McDougalls

cookbooks alot, just not the baked goods. Thankyou both Brenda Lee and

Amy for your input on the different grains. I wonder if soaking the

grains and really rinsing them off would help.Where do you buy your

Irish Oatmeal Brenda Lee, I don't think they sell that here. Thanks

again for your ideas, Judy

[Guest guest]

My local groceries are becoming much more educated and open to options. Irish

oats are now carried at Save-On Foods. I am not sure where you could get it

locally Judy, but msroben's does carry them, and, I am told so does Trader Joes,

if that's of any help.

 

McCann's is one brand name, so maybe they have a site themselves you could look

at to find a distributor.

 

Does anyone know if Bob's Red Mills has irish oats or if they are processing

oats in their separate GF facility?

 

Rinsing some whole grains may help, but you should also be able to pick out

wheat berries among the other whole grains. Each grain is pretty distinctive.

Are you rinsing your rice before using? Some rice, especially that which is

imported and marked " enriched " , may be sprayed with barley protein enzymes.

Unless it's sticky rice, it should always be rinsed anyway.

Hi back, I was able to find Scottish Oatmeal, but not Irish. I wonder if

that is safe? I haven't been rinsing my grain, maybe I ought to start

doing it. Bob Mills was the one that carried Scottish Oatmeal. I'm not

sure about his milling process. Trader Joes is about 40 miles from here,

so I guess I'll do without the oatmeal before I travel that far. I

usually have a raw breakfast anyway, I do alot of juicing, sometimes I

mix cream of buckwheat or cream of brown rice cereal in the mix. Judy

Bob's Red Mill has a dedicated GF section, but I doubt they are doing their

oatmeal in there. Oatmeal is still generally thought to be too closely related

to gluten for most who require a GF diet. You could check their site to see

where it's processed.

Here is what I can find on Montina:

 

http://www.montina.com/story.html

 

It's an Indian grass which is gf and has been adapted to grow in Montana. It

appears to be a genetically modified product and has currently, limited

availability. Previous to the product which started in the 90s, Montina was used

only for reclamation of grasslands.

 

MSU has been running the pilot project and continues to do so, but the plan is

for the project to go out on it's own in the future. A Co-op has been developed

for that reason. It currently has about 40 members/growers. The largest

percentage of growers in the co-op are from Montana (hence the name) but others

in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Colorado are also trying their hand at

growing it.

 

The person who heads the project, Dr. Stanislao has had 30 years of experience

in developing recipes for gf and otherwise restricted diets.

Brenda Lee, Oatmeal has been on my taboo list for so long, even if I

got some that was " SAFE " I " m not sure I'd feel right about eating it.

After awhile you set an eating pattern and it is hard to break it. I

Have been vegan for so long I " m not sure I could digest meat if given

the opportunity. 2 summers ago, I accidentally had a couple bites of a

hamburger and was sick for 2 days. It was on a non gluten bun, so that

wasn't it. I only told you that because I'm not sure I " d be able to

digest oatmeal anyway. You figure the last I had was in 1996. So I'll

probably stick with what I am doing. My shake is pretty thick and

satisfying. Today though, I had a pancake and a Banana. Thanks for the

info, ((BLESSINGS)) Judy
