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.

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 ...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
