Can anybody verify for me that ground flax is gluten free. I am pretty sure it is but would like others' experiences with it.

Apparently, ground flax is gluten free. I eat snacks with ground flax quite often because they are safe foods for us celiacs. My dietitian has confirmed this and also the lady who owns the gluten free store where I shop at also confirmed ground flax or foods with flax seed are safe for us. Most importantly, I haven't experienced an allergic reaction after ingesting ground flax or flax seed. I hope this helps!

PERFECT! THANK SO MUCH. I THOUGHT IT WAS, AND READ THAT IT WAS, BUT I WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTED OTHER CELIACS. YOU REALLY HELPED OUT! I'M TAKING THE PLUNGE. THE LIGNANS ARE SO GOOD FOR US.

Hi,

I just wanted to add that I use flax seed oil because it is great for the gut. You can add it to salad or smoothies or pretty much anything :)

Just make sure never to cook with flax or flax oil, as the Omega-3s break down very easily. It is always best to store flax (or the oil) in the refrigerator or freezer.

I take flax oil and use flax seeds all the time.

I'm vegetarian so I cant have fish oil, and flax is a great

way to get omega 3's. I know they are not the complete

chain of fatty acids, but I feel like my body converts them

without a problem. I really notice the difference when

I take my oils. My nails start growing twice as fast, literally!

Ive actually documented it, by checking how often I cut

them when Im taking the oil over a month or so vs one

time when I ran out for awhile. Twice as fast. This has to

be good for healing the gut, skin and other parts of the

body as well. I think its a really good thing for newly

discovered celiacs to be taking.

If you get the oil in capsules, just make sure to get a good

gluten free brand, I use Country Life.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
