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?

you're going to make me go buy a blender aren't you?

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.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Yes. I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy. Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm. Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply. Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct. Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two...

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
