Lame Advertisement Seed

Has anyone else tried adding Lame Advertisement to their baking? I'm loving the stuff... My FIL gave me a bottle, and i have just been throwing it into baked goods. You can also grind it, but we only have one coffee grinder and I don't want to gum it up. The Lame Advertisement makes baked goods really moist and chewy, it acts like xanthan gum, but it's healthy (lots of omega 3) and has fiber. I used it instead of xanthan today in some bread, and it was amazing!

It's really expensive, at least I googled the bottle my FIL gave me and it was really bad. I'll be looking for another source, though...I couldn't believe the difference it makes!

Um, This is absolutely not meant to be an advertisement! I don't know or care what brand the seed is, and I don't even know where my FIL got it. I googled it and saw the price and was looking for a way to buy it in bulk or something because I can't afford to buy more of it myself. I was just really impressed with how it worked in my baking. I am not driving any business to whatever company makes the seeds and by the way, seeds are a natural product and I am quite sure nobody has a patent on them! Well, except maybe God. I like them better than xanthan gum because they worked great and had more nutrition. If THAT is considered adversing....well, forget it! This place has changed since I used to frequent it. I took a break due to computer problems, came back six months later and wow!

I am not trying to advertise. It takes time to come here and share my menus and post recipes, and if people are thinking I'm trying to sell something by giving away meal plans and recipe ideas for free well....I don't get it, and I don't appreciate it. There is a meanspirited feel to this, I am not trying to sell anything and it hurts to be treated this way by a website that is supposed to be helping people! What gives? If you seriously think I am hocking products (I'm not, like I said I don't even know where the product came from and I am not suggesting a particular brand or anything! I certainly don't sell it myself, if that's what you think!) then forget it, I don't need this.

It's sad. I hope that this post doesn't get edited out, because I feel like I deserve an explanation at least!

Nobody is accusing you of advertising. It is likely that the major distributor who sells those seeds has tried to sell them here, maybe even saying they cure celiac disease (I am just guessing, those kinds of things happen here all the time). The moderators usually catch those before most people see them, that is why few people are aware of how much spam is posted here!

My guess is, that you were talking about s.a.l.b.a. seeds, because they are amazing and are outrageously expensive. I wished I could afford to put them into all my baking, but I am not rich enough for that. :huh:

At this point I have seen those only at health food stores, and only one company sells them as far as I know. So, if you have the monopoly on a product, you can charge whatever you want.

The problem was caused by an automatic response that got triggered by the word, the intention was not to shame you, even though I understand that it would feel that way. We ALL know what happened, and that you were just trying to share about a great product.

There is no need to avoid this wonderful seed because of price or the aggressive tactics of a certain company's overzealous marketing team. This company has made special claims for their variety of this particular seed. But foremost experts on the subject disagree with them. The seed is universally wonderful no matter what color it is. I have used the conventional black chia seed ( virtually the same thing as white s.a.l.b.a. according to many experts ) for years. It isn't terribly expensive where I buy it from and indeed does work great in my bread recipes. It supposedly is a great source of protein and fiber. I love it. Enjoy.

I've been touting Chia seeds in here in place of xanthum gum for months. I baked my first gluten-free food and used them. I have never bought xanthum...Heck...I cannot even spell it....... :lol:

RissaRoo . . . not to worry . . . happens all the time. In fact, you may have reached a few more people who are just curious enough to find out what you were trying to say to come in and read this thread. I was going to ask for you to spell it with spaces/dots/dashes so that I would know exactly what you were talking about. I'm assuming that Ursa has "guessed" correctly. If not, let us know.

I dont really consider them expensive. I can get a whole pound in bulk for 7 bucks! And I only use a few tsps per baking. A pound will last me a year!!! To me 7 bucks a year is dirt cheap. :) I think someone on here found them for 5 bucks a pound.......But I already have a bag and wont need any for a VERY LONG time.....

Thanks, guys! I have cooled off a bit, although I still resent being pegged as a spammer even if it was automated. Hey, why not just put symbols or "Product Name Not Allowed Due to Previous Spam" or something? It seems a little mean to have it say "Lame Advertising". I understand the desire to not have spam on the site, but there are a million nicer ways to deal with it. Thanks everyone for your support, I was feeling really down about it!

Anyway, yes I was trying to post about S~A~L~B~A seed. I am excited to see that there's a way to get it in bulk! Thanks for the link, Shay.

It worked so much better than the xanthan, and it did not leave a noticable taste. Plus it has fiber and Omega 3. I didn't even read the package to see what other health claims it made, if it's one of those products that's multi level marketing or something I'm sure the claims are sort of silly...but hey, xanthan gum bugs me because it's so full of empty calories, so if I can achieve the same thing with some seeds and get a little extra fiber and Omega 3, that's great!

Do you sub the chia or s.a.l.b.a. seeds 1:1 for xanthan gum? Do you grind it or use the whole seed? Thank you!

Maybe someone else can help here, I just sort of threw in some seed w/out measuring it...I think you'd need to use more seed than you would xanthan...maybe a tablespoon full for a loaf of bread? That's about what I put in. I didn't grind it...I think you'd need a separate grinder just for seeds, because I couldn't figure out how to grind it in a coffee grinder (which is how they suggest doing it) without either getting coffee in my bread or gummy seeds in my coffee...neither of which sounded good! I bet it would work better if you did grind it though. If anyone here has tried grinding it in a food processor...did it work? I was thinking of trying that but the seeds are so small I didn't know if it would work.

I'm such a newbie. I thought Lame Advertising was the name of some company! I kept trying to find what everyone was talking about and now I get it! haha..

So when using something like chia nuts in baking are you guys doing a 1:1 replacement with xanthan gum in recipes? Or what's the approximate ratio on that?

ShayFL Enthusiast

I roughly do it about 2:1. Twice as much "ground" seeds. You can buy them already ground. And they just came out with a combo of chia and rice flour for baking. Have not tried it though.

This site has a lot of info about chia sees:

I use them in all sorts of things....dressings....smoothies.

I have used my blender for grinding poppy seeds, and it worked fine. Chia seeds aren't smaller than poppy seeds, I imagine. So, why not just use a blender, if you have one?

That, or a coffee grinder (cheaper), or an expensive ($250.00, that's what my oldest daughter has, and its fabolous) food processor. My cheap one won't do it, it only slices veggies dependably. :rolleyes:

Thank you Ursula...the makers of that product have spammed this forum to sell their product to the point where I had to take the ultimate course of action, which is making it so their name gets replaced with "Lame Advertisement" when mentioned here...

Take care,

Scott

Scott, thanks for taking the time to post! I totally understand the need to protect the site from Spam and I appreciate the fact that it is so comfortably free of spam. Thanks for the work you've put into all of this!

It would be great if you could tone down that ad warning, though. I was really taken aback by it and it seems like others have had this experience as well...you wouldn't have to change the fact that it cuts out the brand name, just the words that replace the name. It wouldn't take much to change that and you wouldn't be risking humiliating people who honestly are not spammers!

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

I was wondering what lame advertisement meant and why a company would call something that. It took me a bit to realize what was going on!

LOL

Now you can grow this stuff too, especially if you live in TX, Ar, NM etc.

I tried it in Mi once but failed and I doubt it would grow in the PNW unless I used a greenhouse. I think seeds of change carried it but don't quote me on that one. I found it, Open Original Shared Link carries it still for you to grow.

Looks like I will have to give this stuff a try, thanks for posting about it.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
