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.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
