Lame Advertisement Seed

Has anyone else tried adding Lame Advertisement to their baking? I'm loving the stuff... My FIL gave me a bottle, and i have just been throwing it into baked goods. You can also grind it, but we only have one coffee grinder and I don't want to gum it up. The Lame Advertisement makes baked goods really moist and chewy, it acts like xanthan gum, but it's healthy (lots of omega 3) and has fiber. I used it instead of xanthan today in some bread, and it was amazing!

It's really expensive, at least I googled the bottle my FIL gave me and it was really bad. I'll be looking for another source, though...I couldn't believe the difference it makes!

Um, This is absolutely not meant to be an advertisement! I don't know or care what brand the seed is, and I don't even know where my FIL got it. I googled it and saw the price and was looking for a way to buy it in bulk or something because I can't afford to buy more of it myself. I was just really impressed with how it worked in my baking. I am not driving any business to whatever company makes the seeds and by the way, seeds are a natural product and I am quite sure nobody has a patent on them! Well, except maybe God. I like them better than xanthan gum because they worked great and had more nutrition. If THAT is considered adversing....well, forget it! This place has changed since I used to frequent it. I took a break due to computer problems, came back six months later and wow!

I am not trying to advertise. It takes time to come here and share my menus and post recipes, and if people are thinking I'm trying to sell something by giving away meal plans and recipe ideas for free well....I don't get it, and I don't appreciate it. There is a meanspirited feel to this, I am not trying to sell anything and it hurts to be treated this way by a website that is supposed to be helping people! What gives? If you seriously think I am hocking products (I'm not, like I said I don't even know where the product came from and I am not suggesting a particular brand or anything! I certainly don't sell it myself, if that's what you think!) then forget it, I don't need this.

It's sad. I hope that this post doesn't get edited out, because I feel like I deserve an explanation at least!

Nobody is accusing you of advertising. It is likely that the major distributor who sells those seeds has tried to sell them here, maybe even saying they cure celiac disease (I am just guessing, those kinds of things happen here all the time). The moderators usually catch those before most people see them, that is why few people are aware of how much spam is posted here!

My guess is, that you were talking about s.a.l.b.a. seeds, because they are amazing and are outrageously expensive. I wished I could afford to put them into all my baking, but I am not rich enough for that. :huh:

At this point I have seen those only at health food stores, and only one company sells them as far as I know. So, if you have the monopoly on a product, you can charge whatever you want.

The problem was caused by an automatic response that got triggered by the word, the intention was not to shame you, even though I understand that it would feel that way. We ALL know what happened, and that you were just trying to share about a great product.

There is no need to avoid this wonderful seed because of price or the aggressive tactics of a certain company's overzealous marketing team. This company has made special claims for their variety of this particular seed. But foremost experts on the subject disagree with them. The seed is universally wonderful no matter what color it is. I have used the conventional black chia seed ( virtually the same thing as white s.a.l.b.a. according to many experts ) for years. It isn't terribly expensive where I buy it from and indeed does work great in my bread recipes. It supposedly is a great source of protein and fiber. I love it. Enjoy.

I've been touting Chia seeds in here in place of xanthum gum for months. I baked my first gluten-free food and used them. I have never bought xanthum...Heck...I cannot even spell it....... :lol:

RissaRoo . . . not to worry . . . happens all the time. In fact, you may have reached a few more people who are just curious enough to find out what you were trying to say to come in and read this thread. I was going to ask for you to spell it with spaces/dots/dashes so that I would know exactly what you were talking about. I'm assuming that Ursa has "guessed" correctly. If not, let us know.

I dont really consider them expensive. I can get a whole pound in bulk for 7 bucks! And I only use a few tsps per baking. A pound will last me a year!!! To me 7 bucks a year is dirt cheap. :) I think someone on here found them for 5 bucks a pound.......But I already have a bag and wont need any for a VERY LONG time.....

Thanks, guys! I have cooled off a bit, although I still resent being pegged as a spammer even if it was automated. Hey, why not just put symbols or "Product Name Not Allowed Due to Previous Spam" or something? It seems a little mean to have it say "Lame Advertising". I understand the desire to not have spam on the site, but there are a million nicer ways to deal with it. Thanks everyone for your support, I was feeling really down about it!

Anyway, yes I was trying to post about S~A~L~B~A seed. I am excited to see that there's a way to get it in bulk! Thanks for the link, Shay.

It worked so much better than the xanthan, and it did not leave a noticable taste. Plus it has fiber and Omega 3. I didn't even read the package to see what other health claims it made, if it's one of those products that's multi level marketing or something I'm sure the claims are sort of silly...but hey, xanthan gum bugs me because it's so full of empty calories, so if I can achieve the same thing with some seeds and get a little extra fiber and Omega 3, that's great!

Do you sub the chia or s.a.l.b.a. seeds 1:1 for xanthan gum? Do you grind it or use the whole seed? Thank you!

Maybe someone else can help here, I just sort of threw in some seed w/out measuring it...I think you'd need to use more seed than you would xanthan...maybe a tablespoon full for a loaf of bread? That's about what I put in. I didn't grind it...I think you'd need a separate grinder just for seeds, because I couldn't figure out how to grind it in a coffee grinder (which is how they suggest doing it) without either getting coffee in my bread or gummy seeds in my coffee...neither of which sounded good! I bet it would work better if you did grind it though. If anyone here has tried grinding it in a food processor...did it work? I was thinking of trying that but the seeds are so small I didn't know if it would work.

I'm such a newbie. I thought Lame Advertising was the name of some company! I kept trying to find what everyone was talking about and now I get it! haha..

So when using something like chia nuts in baking are you guys doing a 1:1 replacement with xanthan gum in recipes? Or what's the approximate ratio on that?

I roughly do it about 2:1. Twice as much "ground" seeds. You can buy them already ground. And they just came out with a combo of chia and rice flour for baking. Have not tried it though.

This site has a lot of info about chia sees:

I use them in all sorts of things....dressings....smoothies.

I have used my blender for grinding poppy seeds, and it worked fine. Chia seeds aren't smaller than poppy seeds, I imagine. So, why not just use a blender, if you have one?

That, or a coffee grinder (cheaper), or an expensive ($250.00, that's what my oldest daughter has, and its fabolous) food processor. My cheap one won't do it, it only slices veggies dependably. :rolleyes:

Thank you Ursula...the makers of that product have spammed this forum to sell their product to the point where I had to take the ultimate course of action, which is making it so their name gets replaced with "Lame Advertisement" when mentioned here...

Take care,

Scott

Scott, thanks for taking the time to post! I totally understand the need to protect the site from Spam and I appreciate the fact that it is so comfortably free of spam. Thanks for the work you've put into all of this!

It would be great if you could tone down that ad warning, though. I was really taken aback by it and it seems like others have had this experience as well...you wouldn't have to change the fact that it cuts out the brand name, just the words that replace the name. It wouldn't take much to change that and you wouldn't be risking humiliating people who honestly are not spammers!

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

I was wondering what lame advertisement meant and why a company would call something that. It took me a bit to realize what was going on!

LOL

Now you can grow this stuff too, especially if you live in TX, Ar, NM etc.

I tried it in Mi once but failed and I doubt it would grow in the PNW unless I used a greenhouse. I think seeds of change carried it but don't quote me on that one. I found it, Open Original Shared Link carries it still for you to grow.

Looks like I will have to give this stuff a try, thanks for posting about it.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
