Wheat germ is not as highly processed as wheat flour. As for substitution...

"Flax Seed

Flax seed works well as a substitution for wheat germ not only in baked goods but in recipes like meat loaf, homemade veggie burgers and homemade granola. It's a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and copper, as well as dietary fiber, as noted by NutritionData.com."

I haven't tried it, but I don't bake every often. Hope that helps.

I bake frequently and use flaxmeal and flax seed often - even in smoothies. However, if I use whole flax seed I crush the seeds or grind first as they are better absorbed than leaving them whole.

I bought a coffee grinder for grinding flax seeds and spices 3 months ago with good intentions. I still haven't used it. B) Bad me. :D

You have been a very, very bad girl indeed.

Grinding spices is practically therapeutic as well as making the house smell lovely and exotic. So plug in that grinder and have at 'er! :lol:

My flax seed went beyond the expiration date. I put the expired stuff in my compost bin though. I'm sure that's good for everyone down the chain, ultimately me. :D

I'll crank that grinder out pretty soon.

Store flax in the freezer to keep it fresh.

I use my coffee grinder to make oat flour or quick oats. I only buy rolled oats.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
