In the past, since eliminating my sensitive foods, loose BMs or D were triggered by eating too much fruit and veggies or eating fruit and veggies that were not well cooked.

Note that half the millet samples contained hazardous amounts of gluten. Interestingly, only the flour showed the problem, suggesting to me that the problem is due to cross-contamination during milling, rather than a problem that is associated with growing, harvesting, transporting, storage, or other handling of the grain. Stone mills are notoriously difficult to clean thoroughly. It's virtually impossible to clean out all the nooks and crannies without totally disassembling the mill. And disassembling a stone mill is typically a major project, and not one that would be attempted simply because of a product change. For one thing, in addition to all the work (and introducing a risk of improper disassembly/assembly that could cause damage to an expensive machine), few business could justify the additional downtime. IOW, I would assume that most operators simply flush the mill with the "new" grain, when switching from one grain to another. But I'm just speaking from experience here, and I can't speak for everyone, of course.The following products contained above the limit of quantification for gluten:
Product/Mean ppm
Millet flour/305
Millet flour/327
Millet grain/14
Millet grain/25
White rice flour/8.5
Buckwheat flour/65
Sorghum flour/234
Soy flour/2,925
Soy flour/92
Ditto to what Donna and Leah said — you've been doing well because you've been taking Entocort. Virtually everyone who weans off Entocort finds that they have to clean up their act, because they no longer have a shield against minor transgressions.DJ wrote:I've been doing well with my millet bread from Sami's Bakery in Florida for quite a while even though it says it contains traces of gluten, wheat, or yeast.

I think you may be on the right track with that thought. Your cough may be due to some sort of mast cell activity that results in congestion, or tingling, or whatever is initiating/driving your cough. And of course, the mast cell activity may well be due to something in your diet.DJ wrote:I need to address my upper GI symptoms in relation to what I eat. After all, it's where this whole story started for me.
