Be careful if you have oral food sensitivities when thinking about trying sprouted bread! Apparently the enzymes in the sprouts are not killed through drying and then baking temps. I have allergies to alfalfa sprouts, stone fruits, hazelnuts and honey, among a few other foods. If honey is baked at high enough temps in the oven like with baklava, it must kill the enzymes and the honey isn't a problem. But raw, no go.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656035618616599013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-90033589917326424382016-11-24T16:36:25.112-08:002016-11-24T16:36:25.112-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656035618616599013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-6890121743129114142016-11-24T16:35:39.042-08:002016-11-24T16:35:39.042-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656035618616599013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-30635540362231486802016-11-24T16:29:53.513-08:002016-11-24T16:29:53.513-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656035618616599013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-27066253265082848072013-01-19T12:05:46.418-08:002013-01-19T12:05:46.418-08:00Thanks for sharing your experience!

I'm not talking about a multiple vitamin but separate vitamins. I know I do not have a B vitamin deficiency. The doctor even checked for me with a blood test. I think that the sprouted grains are maybe too raw. I also cannot eat seeds such as sesame, etc. They cause digestive difficulties.

Any ideas about what...That's very interesting. Any ideas about what specifically may have made the difference? Perleche can also be caused by a vitamin deficiency, so is it possible the bread you're eating now has more Vitamin B or something else than the sprouted bread, or do you think that something in the sprouted grain itself caused the perleche?

Originally, the doctor told me that the perliche at the corners of my mouth was due to "sagging flesh around my mouth," a problem I do not have. I felt terribly discouraged. I was slathering on vaseline all day and night for about 3 years without any let up in my problem except now and then. Finally, the vaseline did not work at all, and I decided to try eliminating the sprouted-wheat bread I was eating as I had to stop eating the Ezekiel brand a few years before due to difficulty digesting it. I ate corn tortillas for a while and the "cracks" around my lips disappeared. I decided to try a bread made with wheat flour. Now I eat a whole-wheat flour brand called Tuscan Pane from TJ's without any problems in my digestive tract or around my lips. What a relief! Cracks in the corners of my mouth were painful, but now they are gone. I also do not have to keep my lips constantly moisturized with petroleum jelly, nor do I have to wash my lips after eating to eliminate bacteria that cause perliche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835821377773395716.post-31896065767619770212012-11-25T11:24:52.960-08:002012-11-25T11:24:52.960-08:00Aprille, thanks so much for sharing!

I know that some people have had good luck with gluten and wheat after going off it for a period of time to heal, then adding small amounts back in. As far as I know it doesn't seem to work for everyone, but I'm glad it's worked for you! <br /><br />I know all about the feeling hungry all the time ;) I'm working on some warm winter smoothies right now to keep my belly full!

I also suffer from OAS with things like fruits and vegetables and I was told I was "allergic" to things like cantaloupe, carrots, and a few other fruits and vegetables.<br /><br />I tested negative for Celiac<br /><br />I have eliminated wheat for a year now, and was basically on a gluten-free diet as a result. The IBS symptoms cleared up but I still had a lot of abdominal pain, just no diarrhea. In June (six months ago), I went completely grain-free and maintained that without any cheats for 4 months. I lost a few pounds and felt better than I had in years. However when the weather turned colder, I had a harder time making myself eat fruits and vegetables. I just can't make myself drink a cold smoothie or salad in November... I was so hungry and feeling lightheaded/weak. So my doctor told me that sprouted grain breads would probably be okay.<br /><br />I now eat Ezekial 4:9 bread a few times a week...mostly just one slice toasted with butter. I've seen no adverse affects (no diarrhea or OAS symptoms) and even lost another pound or two. I'm feeling more full. <br /><br />So I think it's working for me. I plan on staying grain-free (other than the sprouted grains) indefinitely for optimum gut healing and better overall health. And hopefully once spring and summer comes, I won't desire the grains as much at all.

I find that souring reduces far more of the gluten and the antinutrients than the other two options. And I just feel better after eating it. ;)Jenhttp://www.realfoodfreaks.comnoreply@blogger.com
