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.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
