No, do tell?
I understand that "modern wheat" is a hybrid of Spelt. And not any near
as healthy...

Spelt has the same gluten (gliadin, etc) molecules as any triticum
species including modern wheat & rye. For people with celiac or true
gluten intolerance, it's all the same poison.

As are Oats and Barley.

The jury is still out on oats since they do not contain gliadin. But it
does contain a different gluten molecule to which some people with
celiac respond. Some say oats not contaminated with wheat are OK but
I'm not willing to take the risk with any oats. I was unsure whether
barley had the same kind of gluten molecules as the triticums. Barley
may have the other kind of gluten called glutenin or something like
that... not sure.

I've never actually reacted to Barley, at least not in the past...

but I tend to stick to rice now. There are so many varieties. :-) I
don't use white rice at all. Just brown and varieties of red and black.

The asian market has never been so fun. g

I have some chicken foot stock I'm planning to make some rice with
probably this weekend, as soon as the 15 bean soup is gone that I made
with ham skin stock. Dad's really enjoying it, and I'm glad! He can use
the fiber load.

Since I cook for him, I keep track of what he eats. Care and feeding of
an elderly parent is a big responsibility and fortunately, he likes my
cooking.

I'm considering deboning some of the chicken feet and pureeing them to
add, but it might make the rice a bit too rubbery when it's cold. g

I'm using chicken foot "meat" right now to help heal degenerative disk
disease and arthritis. That and trotters. The type II collagen they
contain seems to be keeping the pain at bay if I eat enough of it, and
am consistent. It just took awhile at first.

Thank the gods for good chiropractors...
