No problem. There's always been a controversy, as I understand from my reading, about regular oats and Celiac. So when I found gf oats, I thought "they" must have figured out how to make them safe for us. But, I just bought a big box of gf Cheerios to try and then read an article that they made...

I didn't know that. Actually I've never eaten the gf oats. I hate oatmeal but thought I'd buy them and bake some oatmeal raisin cookies someday. I don't feel my gluten intolerance is terribly out of hand even though I am Celiac as of 2009. My GI dr just said never cheat bc even if we have no...

I've finally settled on my gf grains for the chickens. I mix whole black sunflower seeds, brown rice, split peas (yellow or green), millet, gf oats, chia seeds and brown flaxmeal seeds. Originally I was also putting in gf cornmeal, but only bc we had bought a small bag of very finely ground to...

From my understanding wheat middlings is still wheat.

Well see, there you go. I was so skeptical about what that UC Davis vet/biologist said to me that the eggs were safe. How is it that your doctor friend knows it's gluten? Is it possible she's just allergic to eggs period? This entire gf thing is hauntingly scary. I just can't imagine a...

I don't know the brand names but I'm pretty sure there are non corn feeds available. I'm sure others here will know. I feel for you. Bad enough with Celiac bc it's so limiting but that leaves rice and corn as the 2 big grains for us-not that either are good for anyone though. And I'm lucky not...

I have Celiac Disease so it's not my choice if I want to stay healthy to be gluten free. I just didn't know how far we need to take this to stay safe and healthy . However now after speaking with the UC Davis Vet/Biologist I am thinking it all over in a new light:) Thank you for your information...

Updating regarding questions about gluten free feeds. We recently just lost a favorite Delaware chicken and we had a necropsy done through UC Davis, California. While we were there I spoke to a vet/Scientist about feeding my flock and mealworms gluten free grains. He told me this: Whatever a...

Thanks so much for the links. I requested a catalog from Azure but WOW are their feeds expensive! Don't think we could afford them. However I like the sound and prices of their heirloom garden seeds. Have you tried them? How's your rash today? I'm sitting in Urgent Care right now waiting to be...

Hello again potagergirl.What is Azure Standard? Where can I find it, bc I've never heard of it? I'm in South Central California. Also, how do you ferment the grains, and what is the benefit of doing that? I'm sorry about your rash. I usually break out on my chest, but in the last few months I've...

Interesting.Thanks.

I actually didn't say GMO's are unhealthy. My statement was an either/or one-GMO's or unhealthy. I'm sorry you misconstrued what I said. Truthfully, I don't really know if GMO foods are healthy or not, but the words, genetically modified, sounds a bit creepy to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm...

I changed to a combination of flax seed meal and gluten free oats. So far, so good. They are devouring it.

I, for one, am aware of the various levels of sensitivity to gluten. However, with Celiac Disease, I was told by my GI dr and other doctors to never use gluten in any foods, skin products (soaps,lotions, shampoos, conditioners, perfumes, etc.), or toothpaste, mouthwash etc. Even medicine,so I...

"Beginnergirl"-You are very welcome. I'm glad my meal worm post & photos helped you.I must say that growing meal worms is about the easiest thing anyone can do, along with the fact that it's interesting to watch these tiny creatures go through their growth cycles.And I didn't know that most...

I'll post 3 pix of our meal worm farm for you if I can. We started with only about 50-75 meal worms. We didn't do any calculations. Wed buy a container of 25 for fishing and bring home what we didn't use and put them in the box. As you will see, we have tiny babies and much bigger ones that...

Thanks for your response and the link.so now I think we might need to change our entire mealworm diet so they and I can thrive in a healthier manner. My set up isn't at all elaborate. We keep them in a Sterilite drawer under a few layers of newspaper. I just threw in a paper towel roll the...
