Seeds/Grains and Food Combining

I just got finished sprouting a bunch of grains(?) for several different recipes. I’m confused about the difference between grains and seeds, though. I try to follow food combining principles, since I feel better when I do. So, is buckwheat a grain or a seed? How about millet? Can I make Essene Bread out of kamut and eat it with Sunflower seed pate?

    i think buckwheat and millet are seeds, and kamut is a grain, but i’m not sure at all. but i kind of think they all have grain like properties, which is what matters when you’re food combining. try the combo you want, then see how it makes you feel, i would think…

    Okay, but I have a recipe for a cookie that calls for millet and flax and I have no trouble digesting them at all (and I usually eat plenty of them at once). Then again, some food combining charts mix grains/seeds. I also just made some crackers with sprouted chickpeas and flax, but I’ve been scared to eat them (boy they smelled good!) because I don’t want to deal with the indegestion! I’m so confused…what exactly, is the definition of a grain vs seed vs legume? And does anyone really know what combines with what? I’ve seen so many different theories and charts. I can’t make sense…I guess I should just experiment with myself.
