How Do You Get Your Whole Grains In?

So any whole grain bread is out for me if it contains yeast. Any kind of quick bread would be good. I have tried a few muffin recipes that turned out terrible.

I use whole grain rice pasta and tried millett tortillas (gross) but better than rice. I cooked quinoa once and liked the tasted and texture but I can't find too many good recipes to use it.

Any ideas?

I make quinoa for breakfast and coook with some chopped apple and cinnamon and stir in halved red grapes and Earthbalance spread when it's finished cooking. You could add milk. Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal is another good one. I recently tried buckwheat groats(kasha) in a pilaf and it was very good! I followed the recipe on the box adding mushrooms, onion, carrot and red bell pepper to the pot. Brown rice is good too.

We eat Quinoa pasta. We also eat quinoa cooked in chicken broth then add sauteed mushrooms and fresh grated parmesan cheese. It's OK. It's more of "eat because you need to and it's not bad" kind of thing. We added gluten-free oatmeal to the diet over Christmas and now eat that 3 times per week. Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal is another good one.

Some really good gluten-free grains (besides rice and corn) include amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and teff. They're really yummy in all sorts of casseroles, stews, soups, etc. All can make a good hot cereal too, if you're into that. The roasted buckwheat, usually called Kasha, is marvelous stuff. These grains also go well with lentils, beans, and all sorts of veggies. I don't eat meat, but I'm sure they'll go with that too.

Kasha or buckwheat cooks in about 10-15 minutes. The others generally take 20-30 minutes, though you can combine them too.

I use the flours of these grains to make all sorts of breads, muffins, cookies, etc. They turn out good IMO. The brown teff goes good with chocolate, though I usually use the ivory teff, because it's more versatile.

Looking at the nutrient values, quinoa doesn't seem to stack up to the others for either protein or fiber. I tried the flour, and it's just too bitter for me to even use.

I'm not sure about Fiber, but Quinoa is the only grain that provides a complete protein. It's very good for you. I use it in as the grain and in my cooking too and really enjoy it.

Here's a quick flatbread recipe that uses whole grain flour.

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...p;p=359956&

Originally I posted it with only brown rice flour (in addition to the flax), but after someone's suggestion later on the post, I use 1/2 cup sweet sorghum flour and 1/2 cup brown rice flour. Both the brown rice and sorghum flours are whole grain, and so is the flax. So it actually has a decent amount of dietary fiber, and of course, no yeast.

We also have Bob's Red Mill gluten free hot cereal in the morning, I add flax seed in almost everything I bake (including almost all cookies and quick breads and pancakes/waffles), and as much as possible have us all eat a ton of fruits and vegetables.

I use all my old favorite muffin, pancake, & other quickbread recipes w/a combination of 3 parts whole sorghum flour to one part starch (usually half & half tapioca & potato.) They come out great, but you do have to freeze leftovers or they go kinda funny.

Just a thought... but grains of any kind are not necessary for a healthy diet. If you're looking for sources of fiber, here are some good ones:

- dried fruit (prunes)

- oranges

- tree fruits with skin (apples, pears)

- berries (especially raspberries)

- nuts

- seeds

- avocado

- artichokes, broccoli

- BEANS and peas

Hmm interesting thought. I really honestly don't know why all of the nutritian people say eat whole grains. I am assuming that it is the fiber.

What about popcorn? It's whole grain, and if made on the stove with a little oil it's a very healthy snack as long as corn isn't a problem.

I saw the new Honey Kix (gluten-free) this weekend at safeway and it has 3 g of fiber per serving. That is 12% of your daily req and is more than most cereals. Might be a nice snack.

Yes, 1/4 cup of the kernels, about 4 cups of popcorn, has approximately 7 grams of fiber.

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.
