Not sure if any of you have heard of Fructose Malabsorbtion in the US but it seems to be gaining momentum in Australia and I was diagnosed with it about 3yrs ago. I wont go into the scientific side of it but basically it is when your body does not absorb the fructose in such foods as apples and pears ( as well as many other fruits but they are not so fructose filled!) and also in the sugars or the carbohydrates that are in wheat! It is also in corn syrup which is in lots of lollies. There many other things that it also appears in like garlic, onions, asparagus and the list goes on. This means that you can have terrible problems with wheat thinking you have a wheat intolerance but in fact its actually the sugars in the wheat. Symptoms can be constipation or loose stools, severe wind, pains and others...all the things that alert people to coeliacs! It is diagnosed with a breath test where you drink fructose and if your body does not absorb it, you literally blow it back out and it is registered on a breath tester like the ones the police use for testing drink drivers! I have visited a naturopath for my son and we are currently trying an elimination diet and powders and potions so we'll see how we go. Hi all,

I have a son and daughter and myself all with some sort of IBS. We've been tested for celiac repeatedly and we don't have it, but are truly sensitive to wheats and other things. I've ordered both Einkorn and Emmer (Farro medio) to give it a try. I'm excited! Now I just need your good doctor's name. . . Thanks!

I've seen peer reviewed articles advocating both sides of that question. It may be safe for people with gluten or wheat "sensitivities" but celiac patients should be extremely cautious and consult a physician before trying einkorn. Also, there are hundreds of different types of einkorn, each with a unique set of gluten and gliadin proteins. With any luck, one will be found that everyone can eat safely.

I just ordered two pounds of the whole Einkorn to try. I don't know, but I'm guessing that they don't use a dedicated mill for the Einkorn flour, so I opted for the whole Einkorn grain. I'll have to try it whole, cooked like brown rice, and see if I get a CD reaction. If I can eat it I'll possibly grow my own. I'm guessing that I'll get a reaction, but there is always hope.

For the moment, I found the so called "spelt" and it is good, especially bread made of it. For einkorn, maybe later :) Thanks to all.

I found it in a regular Bio Shop. Hope this helps. Einkorn is called Petit Epeautre in France. I found it in a regular Bio Shop. Hope this helps.
