Chia Seeds

I am wondering if Chia seeds are ok? I mean if I can find them gluten-free? Just wondering. I have heard mixed messages about them. Mostly bad from Paleo. Evidently not on their list of stuff they can eat so they deem them un safe to eat. I look up alot of Paleo recipes because of my corn intolerance , Soy intolerance and stuff so it is easier to look up Paleo instead of gluten-free. Any thoughts on this?? And I do apologize if this is not in the right spot. It's hard when there are so many threads going on to pick the right one.

Chia seeds are naturally gluten-free.  You do have to make sure you get a brand that is not processed on shared equipment, stuff like that, same as any other foods.

Chia seeds are fine from a celiac standpoint. Just get a brand labelled "gluten free."

 

No need to make life any harder than necessary, by cutting out extra stuff.

We  use  organic  white  chia  seeds....Salba brand .....lately  some  brands  have  been recalled  but  not  this  one.... many use  chia  seeds  in place  of  eggs  in  recipes.....

Yea I have heard of replacing them with eggs in recipes. They are supposed to have alot of good stuff in them. I will try and add them in my meals. Now I know they are ok. 

I had found a recipe on line for some bread I wanted to make. It called for Almond flour , Coconut flour, Chia seeds, Almond oil, and a bit of salt and Baking soda, and ACV , I mixed it all up and thought it doesn't have enuf liquid, so I went to the computer and looked and yup I got it right. So I went ahead and put it in the oven. After it was supposed to be done I took it out LOL looked like roasted nut flour which was what it was because I failed to see "5 EGGS!" lol so I am going to use it again. I will have to go get some eggs LOL. I guess I don't have my brain back as of yet!

I too  have  read  recipes  wrong but  your  combination   of  flours  & such  sound  like  you will get  a healthy  bread..... We  eat  salba  seeds  in  everything because they are tasteless.... but  if  in  throwing  in some  in  a  baking  recipe  be  careful not to add  to much.... I use  them a lot in smoothies, scrambles eggs  & things like  that...

Thank you! I have read they take up some liquid I do like this lil bread I made. It is very good nothing for a sandwich or nothing but it has a nice lil crunch from the Chia seeds and has a nice flavor. I just cut a bit off and have some with my tea in the morning. Better than no breakfast at all ...

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacpartner! Does this happen with all nuts and all fish or just certain kinds? And are we talking about products that are advertised as gluten-free eaten at home or things served in a restaurant?

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Hello. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 30yrs ago. He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used t...

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat...

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      Hello. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 30yrs ago. He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used to get when he eats gluten. After 30yrs of getting it right and knowing what he can and can’t have with essentially no major instances, this has thrown us. Could this be a new intolerance or an allergy and has it happened to anyone else after so many years? thanks

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.
