Quoted from BTD FAQ -What is Ezekiel Bread?
http://www.dadamo.com/faq/smartfaq.cgi?answer=988814053&id=988813483

Ezekiel, Essene and Manna breads are made from 100% sprouted grains, as opposed to all other commercially available sprouted grain breads which also have regular flour included in the recipe. The lectins in many grains are contained in the seed coat. The seed coat is actually metabolized by the seed/grain when it is germinated, thereby eliminating the lectin and rendering the food useable. New brand names of sprouted grain bread are continually coming to market. Always check the ingredient label for the presense of unsprouted flour or grain.

Quoted from ironwood55

It (Ezekiel bread) is currently rated a type O neutral, because it was determined that the manufacturer was not fully sprouting the grains in the bread.

Quoted from jsshort

Thanks, as always, unless I make it, read the label!

Quoted from typebdiet

It doesn't have any wheat flour or any other kind of flour, but has wheat berries and wheat gluten listed.  Are these alright to eat?

Quoted from luluboy

I'm new to this diet, as well as the forum.  I am an O+.  I've been on the diet for approximately 2 weeks.  And, I'm looking for a receipe for pizza crust and a substitute for oat meal.  Also, I thought I read some where that we coundn't take any supplements while on this diet.  I currently use Co Q-10, fish oil capsules and kelp?  Does anyone know if this is okay.  

 

Quoted from OzlemW

I saw different type of Ezekiel 4:9 bread ...

Quoted from ironwood55

I don't know if you noticed or not, but on the Food for Life website it shows that the name Ezekiel 4:9® is registered, so the Food for Life Ezekiel bread will be the only "Ezekiel 4:9" bread you will find.

how about wheat, lentils and soybeans, are they okay when they are sprouted?
It also says low Glycemic, what is that?

Quoted from OzlemW

It also says low Glycemic, what is that?

Quoted from Deborah_Sue

Being new to this BTD, where do you buy the bread for type O?  Is Ezekiel 4:9 a brand, store?

Quoted from europa2001

They also say that spelt does contain gluten - so I'm wondering if spelt is still OK for O's?

Our sprouted grain breads are not necessarily a source for "Live" enzymes. What's important to remember is the natural enzymes in the grains are activated during the sprouting process, which releases the vital nutrients. Basically, the enzymes are allowed to do their job before the grains are made into bread. It is this process that makes the difference!

Quoted from Susana

Would sprouted spelt be better for an O than sprouted wheat?

Quoted from Alia_Vo

I believe Ezekiel 4:9 bread is often frozen because it is a live, sproputed food item., keeping it stored frozen will ensure 'shelf life' for consumers--dependent on how fast the turn-around time is where it is sold.

The seed coat of wheat contains a lectin
called Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA).  

They provoke the immune system to manufacture
antibodies against them.

The acids within the stomach do not break down
Wheat Germ Agglutinin and as it begins to be
digested in the small intestine, it begins its mission to destroy O Blood Type Humans!

WGA binds to the cholecystokinin receptors and inhibits their action.  Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a hormone secreted especially by the duodenal mucosa that regulates the emptying of the gallbladder and secretion of enzymes by the pancreas and that has been found in the brain.  The enzymes digest fat, protein, and carbohydrates.  CCK is also present in the brain and may play a part in appetite control.  When CCK is low, appetite control is also low.  Lectins block the CCK receptor and inhibit the secretion of amylase, which is needed to digest carbohydrates.

Then, WGA enhances membrane bound maltase, an enzyme that breaks down complex sugars into simple sugars in the small intestine.  At the same time, WGA inhibits aminopeptidase, and enzyme that breaks down polypeptides into amino acids.

Once WGA has made it into the blood stream
(because it resists digestion), it mimics the
effect of insulin on the insulin receptor of
fat cells.  The actin binds to the fat cells
and signal the cell to stop burning fat and to start storing extra calories as fat.  Since WGL has already acted upon maltase to break down complex sugars into simple sugars, there are plenty of simple sugars to begin storing in the blood stream.

Would you consider sprouted spelt to be a better choice than regular spelt?

Quoted from Kstrong

 N.A.P. just sent out a new "Dr. D'Adamo's Update" on the differences between ezekial (leavened and unleavened) and even mentions a spelt pizza crust receipe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. D'Adamo's supplements may help you make it through the beginning stages and along with the beneficial foods, help encourage the body to cleanse and reset.

Quoted from cybrsheri

what  do you think of the manna bread?  I  just don't eat the Ezekiel bread anymore... too confusing as to whether or not it's ok...

Quoted from rottlady

I don't see mention of the Genesis bread made by the same company that makes Ezekiel. I prefer the Genesis, as it seems to have more substance. Any info?

Quoted from ironwood55

Check the ingredients.
