Hey. I eat barley sometimes. No problems for me, but I have not had any problems with grains...so maybe the fact it doesn't bother me doesn't mean too much...

Tried it on list 2. I wasn't okay with the flour until I was eating list 3.I have tried it, but I personally just don't really like the texture of the grain. I did fine with it, but didn't eat it frequently. I have used the flour more often though, mixed in with rice flour and such. It bothered me the first time  (just slight increase in discomfort) so I took it out and then put it back in later and have done fine since. But if you are having a lot of trouble with grains it might just be worth a try because what if it's okay for you? That would be fantastic!!! I really hope it works for you, I can't imagine not being able to have rice.

I didn't buy the flour I bought the whole grains hulled and unhulled this is a Alton Brown recipe
Ingredients

  • 1 cup hulled barley
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups boiling water

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the barley into a 1 1/2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish (with a lid) and add the butter, salt and boiling water. Stir to combine. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place the lid on top of the foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the cover, fluff with a fork and serve immediately.

Just saw this post.... like Murphy, I occasionally eat barley ... was fine when I tried it the first time on List 2, no problems since, but I also haven't had grains issues.   I use it in soup.  Mix chic broth w/ water (so not as much salt), add barley and veggies, salt, pepper and bay leaf and good to go. Just made it this weekend in fact.  I actually really like the grain.
