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!

It's been raining straight for the last 12 hours or so.....infinitely thankful that it's not snaugh. Me sons got well over 3 feet between last weekend and Wednesday--Matt's work was closed yesterday, he went in today at noon for what he was told was a delayed opening and when he arrived, no one else was there. All that driving on icy roads with traffic lights that are not working for naught :angry:

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.

      Wow, the system is crazy isn’t it? Maybe switch Doctors if you can. It’s surprising from what you’ve written it seems obvious it’s celiac disease. The “potential” diagnosis means celiac is developing and it basically just hasn’t done enough gut damage to be captured on the biopsy yet, and meet that “criteria” to satisfy the current system! Given the overwhelming evidence already - family history, positive ttg and ema. And your own experience and intuition which counts far more. And the labs being reproduced after gluten elimination and reintroduction- elimination and reintroduction diet is the gold standard too. Shame on the Doc and the system. What was the Marsh score? I’m guessing not 0 if it’s potential celiac. Meaning the autoimmune process has been triggered and started. Your daughter is obviously very healthy and her immune system is putting up a good fight. It can take years for the gut damage to build to a point where there’s overt symptoms and then a conclusive diagnosis, hence why many celiacs receive diagnosis later in life. You can prevent it. See the positive and the gift in that. Hopefully the gluten challenge confirms it, but if it doesn’t maybe get a second opinion?

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.
