Amaranth Products, Etc...

Hey everyone,

So after reading the article in this forum about how good amaranth is for you, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the amaranth products (such as the amaranth nuggetts and cereal) are any good...I just don't want to spend $5 on something I won't eat. Also has anyone used the Kinnickinnick baking products? I didn't even know they sold those but I saw them at Wild Oats. I would really like to find baking products that are higher in fiber and/or protein...it seems that all the baking mixes aren't all that nutritious...any suggestions? Thanks!

I know alot of people on here use Amaranth, I personally don't like the taste. The only time I can abide it is if its a small amount in a flour mixture. I got the bread crumbs and the crackers and just couldn't do it. I never got to trying the cereal.

At one time Nu-World Amaranth was sending out samples of their cereal. I got some samples and that was the nastiest stuff ever! I wouldn't waste my money on it.........but like with everything it is a matter of taste. Some people like it, others don't. I am just one that doesn't.

I haven't liked most of the amaranth products I've had, though I enjoy the taste of the flour when used appropriately in a mix, but I like the whole grain. The stuff in cereals and crackers... eh... they do something nasty to it.

I also like the whole grain--great in cooking! I bought some of the puffed side dish...not so great. I also had a clerk at Wild Oats stop by b/c she thought I was looking at the cereal (I wasn't though...) and told me "Don't buy it, its henious!" :blink:

Not at all. Whole grain means that the whole of the grain is present, and the germ and bran has not been removed in processing, no matter what the grain. Brown rice, for instance, is a whole grain, the processed version of which is white rice. Corn on the cob is a whole grain. The only grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, and a few celiacs react to oats as well. All the other grains do not contain gluten.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this, I am new to the forum though hopeful my research is relevant to someone reading this. I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist currently conducting research on Coeliac Disease at the University of Surrey and my research has been approved by an NHS committee allowing me to advertise online. My research is a doctoral thesis involving a 3-session online cognitive behavioral therapy group intervention, developed by myself and a current patient with Refractory Coeliac Disease, designed to reduce anxiety in those diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac type 1 and 2. This intervention will include evidence based support to reduce anxiety for a form of coeliac which is currently under-researched in regard to wellbeing. Coeliac UK have sponsored this research thus each participant will receive an £8 shop voucher per session they attend (each session will be held on Microsoft Teams at least one week apart with questionnaires on anxiety, quality of life and symptoms taken before the first session of the group, after the second and a month after the third), and findings will be shared with them, Coeliac UK and published. If you are currently diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac Disease and are interested in taking part in this online group or have further questions please feel free to respond to this post, or if you feel more comfortable sending me a private message here, I am happy to send you a link to my study to sign up.
