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.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
