That comment was for Sarah on Feb 8, 2010… somehow it didn’t post to hers… my mistake!

Sarah,

Great info! Thanks! I just started a very strict diet to eliminate a Candida yeast overgrowth and my oldest daughter just started a dairy/gluten free diet to see if it is causing her recurring ear infections. This is helpful!

God Bless,
Anne

Lucy, Thank you! But…I just clicked on it, and it went through. I think Keeper of the Home’s site was having tech difficulties earlier today, so I bet you hit it at the wrong time. Katie

FYI, the hyperlink to “Organizing Your Space: Notes from a Small Kitchen” appears to be broken.

Just in case anyone is subscribed to this old soaking grains post, I wanted to let you know that I’ve reopened the issue with the goal of closing it at KS this Friday. There’s also a little Nutrimill grain mill giveaway going on.

Last fall we tested our grains, I did a recap post on soaking grains, measured pH, and have a soaked recipe ebook coming out for free in about a month.

If you’ve been away, come on back to the party! Katie

I think WAPF feels that for a perfectly healthy person grains can be fine. But we are not all healthy so some go grain-free for a while or forever I guess. I don’t know about the grain/seed difference. Maybe grains are seeds that grow grasses (rye, wheat, oat, barley-all grasses) and seeds grow plants (sunflowers, trees)? But the GAPS diet allows seeds and nuts but not grains or potatoes. And that is a good diet to look at if you want to find some grain- free ideas like for example mix one banana with one egg and pour into a pan with coconut oil or lard etc. and make a banana pancake. Top it with nut butter and/or raw honey. Delicious! Also from what I understand wheat grass is not digestible for us because we do not have rumens like a cow or goat. So I’m sure there may be a few vitamins or minerals in it but basically it is pointless. Someone correct me if I’m wrong on that.

I can say that when I stopped eating breakfast cereal and began soaking my grains and only eating sourdough bread all bloating went away. I had always thought that was just normal but now I realize I don’t have to live with that pain! Go to WAPF website or do an internet search “Soaking Grains” and you can read all kinds of info about how the nutrient content is increased by preparing this way.

Ice cream, you have been vindicated! We’ve had some rough years, but we’re still going strong. Nothing will ever tear us apart.

Thanks, Katie, for the suggestions. It’s hard to think in a different framework.

Tracy,
Don’t despair! This series continues – definitely check out the latest post here: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/02/16/food-for-thought-is-soaking-grains-traditional/ and keep up for lots more research.

I don’t think they’re bad, just a tangled web.
