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.

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
