If you buy Amaranth in the whole grain and not already ground up into flour, you can pop it like pop corn! I found the recipe today and it tells you how to pop it and make it into peanut butter balls! I thought it would be great for those of you who can't tolerate regualr pop corn.

AMARANTH PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

2 tablespoons amaranth

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey

Place 1/2 tablespoon of amaranth in a very hot, heavy

skillet. Amaranth should begin to pop like popcorn almost

immediately. Quickly stir with a flat edged wooden spoon or a pastry

brush until amaranth stops popping. Immediately pour into a

bowl. Pop remaining amaranth 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Allow to

cool slightly. Stir in peanut butter and honey. Mix

thoroughly. Form into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter. Allow to

cool completely. Makes about 15 balls.

Hope these work out for everyone!

I tried popping amaranth once and it didn't work, though I wonder if the pan was hot enough. It just burned. But seeing this recipe makes me want to try it again :)

Nu-World Foods Puffed Amaranth Cereal would solve the problem with popping the amaranth. It has nothing else in it and works great. It is available online through it's own site or here on celiac.com.

      Help needed

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      Welcome to the forum, @max it! By "one celiac marker" do you refer to a genetic marker or a blood antibody test result?
