Amaranth Products, Etc...

Hey everyone,

So after reading the article in this forum about how good amaranth is for you, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the amaranth products (such as the amaranth nuggetts and cereal) are any good...I just don't want to spend $5 on something I won't eat. Also has anyone used the Kinnickinnick baking products? I didn't even know they sold those but I saw them at Wild Oats. I would really like to find baking products that are higher in fiber and/or protein...it seems that all the baking mixes aren't all that nutritious...any suggestions? Thanks!

~K

I know alot of people on here use Amaranth, I personally don't like the taste. The only time I can abide it is if its a small amount in a flour mixture. I got the bread crumbs and the crackers and just couldn't do it. I never got to trying the cereal.

At one time Nu-World Amaranth was sending out samples of their cereal. I got some samples and that was the nastiest stuff ever! I wouldn't waste my money on it.........but like with everything it is a matter of taste. Some people like it, others don't. I am just one that doesn't.

I haven't liked most of the amaranth products I've had, though I enjoy the taste of the flour when used appropriately in a mix, but I like the whole grain. The stuff in cereals and crackers... eh... they do something nasty to it.

I also like the whole grain--great in cooking! I bought some of the puffed side dish...not so great. I also had a clerk at Wild Oats stop by b/c she thought I was looking at the cereal (I wasn't though...) and told me "Don't buy it, its henious!" :blink:

Not at all. Whole grain means that the whole of the grain is present, and the germ and bran has not been removed in processing, no matter what the grain. Brown rice, for instance, is a whole grain, the processed version of which is white rice. Corn on the cob is a whole grain. The only grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, and a few celiacs react to oats as well. All the other grains do not contain gluten.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms...

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms got worse. I have a theory about that. I have a stricture in my esophagus that has to be dilated every 6-8 months. When it is tight, I have trouble swallowing. Bread is one of the harder things to swallow, so I avoid it. Had the stricture stretched end of October and started eating bread again. That's about when the diarrhea, bloating, gas, and pain started getting worse. Went in for another upper endoscopy and dilation of stricture last week. (It had been so tight this time, he scheduled a second dilation one month after the first.)  I told him how miserable I'd been, and he did the small intestine biopsy. I know they did the blood test for celiac about a year or more ago trying to find source of my problems,  and it was negative.
