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.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
