Buckwheat farinetta help!

gertiegirl · 12-07-2005, 04:11 PM

hi all!

I am trying to find buckwheat farinetta... I know there is the company in the States.. but I am in Canada.. and I'm afraid the shipping will be out of control... and unfortunately I'm not in a position to spend just "any" amount.... so I'm trying to find a substitute... or a way of finding it here...

I did purchase carob at the healthfood store yesterday.. and some buckwheat flour.... hoping it has SOME DCI... I did read somewhere that buckwheat groats have about 1/3 DCI as farinetta... so you'd have to eat 3 times as much... not bad... except the carbs... *sighin*... just can't seem to win here...

I am also going to pick up some soy lecithin ... and I'm going to start baking some of those PCOS muffins I read about... I would LOVE to get DCI in a muffin... or two... I could easily eat these every day!

any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated!

Guys,

I bought mine from Minndak. You can call them and place an order or you can order line. Mine should arrive today. I can't wait to try it. I'll try it as a cereal. You're supposed to have half a cup a day, which provides 1200 - 1300 mg of d-chiro-inositol. I have PCOS, have weight problems, fat around my abdomen, irregular peiods, anxiety (pcos-related), some acne, fatigue, etc.... I want to try natural substances only and exercise. Let's see what happens. Wish me luck. I will try to post my progress regularly on this board.
