I use millet, sorghum, teff, quinoa and amaranth about in a ration of 1/3 to 2/3 of wheat or other grain in my breads. I favor kamut or spelt since it is easier to digest.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-38973976863384870972010-05-24T19:48:45.548-07:002010-05-24T19:48:45.548-07:00Hi Shari,

I do a lot of millet, kamut, buckwheat, etc. Do you have a good yeast free bread recipe with sprouted grains?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Tosha, Hannah's sisterToshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653316824942876084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-53190324234237800512010-05-16T13:31:05.419-07:002010-05-16T13:31:05.419-07:00Shari, Thanks for posting for all of us!

I hope to someday have time to post what I'm learning and what I can do for my family's health, because it is so helpful to know what other's are going through and what they are finding helps. I have never been into food the way I am now. It has been a change over the last couple of months because of allergies to milk, dairy and wheat in my house. I do believe a lot has to do with the way we prepare our food and maybe not just the food itself. I am totally starting to srpout! My goal is to start this week, so this post motivates me! My sister-in-law and I are reading a grains book by Peter Reinhart. He tells of his methods of bread making. It takes longer, but you don't force the gluten to form. I'm hoping to start his methods soon to see if they are more easily digestable. Anyway, thanks!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448416914094633412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-38424258623335703112010-05-14T23:29:43.438-07:002010-05-14T23:29:43.438-07:00Once you dry the grains, keep them in the fridge u...Once you dry the grains, keep them in the fridge until you are ready to grind them. They will keep for several months but the goal is to use them as soon as possible for best nutrient content. Once the flour is ground, also keep it in the fridge. It will last for several months but once again, it is best to use right away. I just grind as I need it or use the left overs in a couple days at least.<br /><br />For lunches; my kids do eat a lot of PB and J but also peanut butter and apples, eggs, hummus and veggies or crackers and other protein laden items. They do have lunch meat sometimes to break up the monotamy, maybe once a week but only organic,non nitrate kind. I only eat meat once a week but they do eat it once for lunch a week as well. In the summer, we won't eat it but options are limited in packing lunches. Always my hardest thing since they can't reheat. We eat tuna as well but I try to limit that as it may have mercury.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-61738699132677731152010-05-14T22:45:05.941-07:002010-05-14T22:45:05.941-07:00How long can you store the sprouted grains until y...How long can you store the sprouted grains until you grind them? Do you keep them in the refrigerator? How long do you store the sprouted flour once you grind it if you don't use it all? Also, what do you send in yoru kids lunches since you don't do meat anymore? pb&j everyday? I need some ideas.

I have a tiny dehydrator, so I am hoping to be successful using the oven (at 170 degrees) to dry the grains back out. Wish me luck!!RPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404824939304875517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-33837534587347152752010-05-14T17:59:31.151-07:002010-05-14T17:59:31.151-07:00You can get spelt here at Preparing Wisely, if you...You can get spelt here at Preparing Wisely, if you live here, Grains plus on line or Azure Standard; to name a few. It tastes pretty much like wheat and looks like wheat but has more protein and makes really fluffy pancakes and breads. It is easier to digest than wheat and great to substitute in any recipe.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-8514393960712964332010-05-14T16:33:34.535-07:002010-05-14T16:33:34.535-07:00What is spelt and where can I get it?

My son has been gluten free for 3 years and I am not at all ready to go back on gluten for him. It is no big deal now and he still has yeast issues so I know we are not there yet. Sprouting does make a difference so he may be able to tolerate that. I would wait at least 6 months to 1 year off gluten then see how it goes. The gut is hard to fix and needs a good time period. Some aren't so bad so it is a trial and error thing. My opinion is that 6 months would be an absolute minimum time period, a year would be better.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-62281494191054742402010-05-14T09:10:55.392-07:002010-05-14T09:10:55.392-07:00loved this shari.
i am wondering how long do you ...loved this shari.<br /><br />i am wondering how long do you think it would take the gut to heal? in my son's case, he has been without gluten for a month and a half. i know he can tolerate soaked grains, because just before he went gluten free, i began soaking his grains and noticed an immediate difference in his bowel movements. i am anxious to get soaking and sprouting again and am wondering how long you think it would be wise to keep him off of gluten - in your opinion. i'm still cleansing him of yeast and it's going well...he definitely had an issue, i can tell by the die-off reactions we've been experiencing!kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036681846580798894noreply@blogger.com
