The part of the wheat that we are to avoid is the gluten. Most of the gluten

comes from the seed case. When the wheat sprouts, it is picked and the seed

case is left behind so the EZ bread is OK for us to eat. Most sprouting

wheat breads, however, are avoids because they are supplimented with wheat

flour for body and are not just sprouted wheat.

You do need to read the book. It has a lot of other good info as well.

Ezekial Bread is fine. Sprouting gets rid of the germ, which is the part of

the wheat we can't eat. So try it and see if you like it. I eat it most of

the time, unless I have some extra time to make some rye bread with rye and

spelt flour.

Ezekiel bread is listed as neutral on Dr Ds website and in his encyclopedia.

For O Non-Secretors Ezekiel Bread can be more touchy. On the ingredient

list is Srouted Soy. The last I heard Sprouted Soy had not been tested, but

Soy is a big no no for nonnies so for now I avoid Ezekiel Bread.

If anyone has any information different that mine please let me know :-)

For now I only eat Essene (Manna) Bread.

I find this message has several parts. Maybe others agree. First,

Marie says she is looking at gluten free breads. As far as I have seen

type O's do not need to worry about gluten, but rather about

individual grains. Some of those grains also happen to have gluten.

But for the most part gluten or gluten free is not the issue with this

diet.

Marie does not say which book she is referring to but we can assume it

is one of the ER4YT books. It says in all of them, I think, that

Ezekiel bread is fine for type O's because the problem with wheat is

eliminated with the sprouting process. By the way, there is an Ezekiel

pita bread that is NOT sprouted. I bought it thinking it was going to

be fine but it tasted way too good to be true so I read the

ingredients more closely and found out it was regular whole wheat flour.

Then Marie talks about making an O compliant bread. That is a whole

topic in itself, isn't it? There are plenty of recipes out there but

it is more difficult to find a really good one. I recently read about

a way of making bread where you rise it for a day but you don't knead

it at all. Was wondering if anyone ever tried whole spelt flour with

that technique.

peace out,
