I think applesauce would work particularly well with the flavor--I was thinking of trying that next time too since I really like to stay away from sugar. I was surprised at how fluffy the seeds got when I ground them up--very workable as a "flour".

Can nae believe all the snaugh up north!! Both me kids don't have work today--I'm so relieved they don't have to be driving....we're having a cold but sunny morning here B)

I looked at the old oat bran muffin recipe and a couple flax muffin recipes and this is what I came up wif:

Flaxseed Muffins

1 1/2 cups ground flax seed

1/2 cup brown sugar (next time, I'm trying 1/4 cup--these were plenty sweet)

1 tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 tbsp. vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients until well combined. Grease muffin pan or use paper liners (I used liners). Fill about 2/3 full (I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill). Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

They would be good with raisins and/or nuts mixed in, too.

DEAR LORD PATTEEE!!!!! Have you even left the bathroom yet?!?! I'd be flat out dead if I ate two of those.

Oh, and don't you think they would be good with 1/4 cup honey, 1/8 cup agave? Mmmmmm.... Even moister. I find honey and flax bake very well together.

Believe it or not, I ate a total of 3 yesterday and 2 this morning for breakfast and things could have not gone better in the bathroom! :P Flax is supposed to be good for "IBS"--and so far it's living up to it's word. (and I am prone to D--never C) ;) I think the idea is that the soluble fiber absorbs excess fluid in the digestive tract and that people with C should drink a ton of water when they consume flax. I'm just drinking normally.

That would taste delicious, but they don't really need any additional moisture. Even the second day, they're pretty moist inside. I may try it wiht a little honey sometime, though.

I'm just thinking that honey and agave are much lower on the glycemic index than sugar. I've been trying to bake with only honey, agave, and maple syrup.

Bunnie . . . get thee a job at Whole Foods toot sweet!!! . . . I need your 20% discount!! I just spent $16 on "natural" food dye. :o Three tiny little bottles of beet, cabbage, and something else yellow. It did include directions on how to make green, purple and orange :lol: Really? :lol:

I think (fake) blue dye was a major contributor in the recent Skeeter episode. I can't tell for sure without testing it out and I really don't want to do that . . . she's on a medication now that I want her off of as soon as possible and I don't want to be the cause of any delay.

I hope you've hit the nail on the head--those fake dyes can wreak havoc <_<

I love Whole Foods, although many's the time I go in there for a few Lara bars or sumphin and come out with 2 bags totaling $75! :rolleyes::lol:

Makes no difference here, unfortunately. . ...... . . honey is a HUGE no-no for me -- haven't had it in ages, as it is just like table sugar and causes a big spike. :( Maple and corn syrup are the same - - in fact, I use both of these for my low blood-sugar reactions, and consequential eye-turning hairstyles......... ... ..<_<

Sugar is a curious and sometimes dangerous thing.....since I've all but cut it out, things like those muffins taste very (actually too) sweet to me now. I already halved the amount in the original, and still.....I also have to keep track of my blood pressure, per my internist, and find that it greatly affects the numbers. I'm not clear on exactly why, but there's most definitely a correlation with me, anyway, and not just a few points either. It was running 160/95 on 2 meds, and now it's right around 120/72 or so with half of one of the meds.

For that alone, I will continue to eschew it :)

When you use maple syrup: Do you sub evenly for sugar? Do you have to make allowance for the extra liquid? UGH OH! Speaking of allowance - I owe the teens.

It really depends on the recipe. Pattie's recipe would probably be very forgiving, not all are.

Emmel, how do you do with agave?

I have never tried it. I have had good luck with Stevia. It doesn't seem to affect my blood sugar levels, and it seems to do okay when heated....

Agave nectar definitely has some sugar in it, it's just supposed to process 'slower'. I guess if stevia works, stick with it, right? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Took the computer to the Geek Squad today. It has one of those viruses where it says "you have a virus. You must buy our program." Geeks said the computer is too old & not worth fixing. I'm now stuck fighting the teenagers to use the computer in the dungeon.

I'm just having an identity crisis, that's why I haven't been around. I guess I feel like I never accomplish anything important and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Isn't this supposed to happen to middleaged men?

I know how you feel. I've been a stay home mom for 14 years & done the job too well, maybe. They really don't need me too much. They can fix food, grocery shop, do laundry & clean if they have to. The oldest can drive. I've been trying to think of what to do with the rest of my life. It seemed pretty hard a few months ago when I was always exhausted & couldn't go far without huffing & puffing. I got diagnosed with extreme anemia & Celiacs. The massive doses of iron & B12 have given me more energy & now I think I must figure out what to do with myself. I'm thinking 20 year old Sports Illustrated swim suit model.

Hope that wasn't too depressing for this forum.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
