People are always giving bags of them to me and trying to get me on the chia band wagon-- They are ok and good with yogurt or mixed with almond butter & raisins etc. but I would never buy them. Generally the cost is high since they are network marketed. once did them for 3 weeks in a row since I had some other problems and was going through a number of blood tests so I could check nutrition levels before and after -- No change at all from the chia.. I did get my grand daughter a chia pet though...

Anyone try Chia Seed?

I've been eating them for about two months. I have found that they help keep me 'regular'. They have

the benefits of psyllium without the harshness. I heard about them from a lady who has colon cancer and has had a good portion of her bowel removed. She was unable to have regular bowel movements until she started taking chia seeds on a daily basis (2 tbls. of chia soaked in a cup of water overnight). She eats the gel every morning.

I have also found that the gel is a great egg replacer when baking. I make a 'chocolate macaroon' cookie

using the chia gel instead of meringue. Also I made teff pancakes using the chia gel instead of eggs and they are great! Anything I bake is gluten/dairy/soy/egg free so can be a bit of a challenge.

Yes! I just gel them and eat them like that.

I love Chia seeds. The only problem is they get really stuck in your teeth. Nice crunchy little treat added to yogurt:)

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By TexasCeliacNewbie · Posted

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
