Hard to find grocery items.
Many, if not all of these type items are sold in all the larger supermarkets. Supermercado Nacional has a small but well-stocked section of "health foods"
Those are not popular items not even here in the US. I do get the flax meal at certain supermarkets here in my town, but it is not found everywhere.
You can make your own wheat glutten, it is not that difficult. I once gave a demonstration (in college) about making wheat glutten. It is a good thing to know in case meat is scarse.
Almond flour? As expensive as almonds are, who can afford the flour? Who makes it?
Keep trying and keep us posted.

I've been to the national, they had flax seed, but it was coarse, not what I needed, everything else, I could not find.
Could you clarify a bit.
There should be a database, of all these little places and the concho routes, and with everyone having smart phones, it wouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

The place that sells "natural food" is called Omaha Gourmet, and it's in plaza rosa, and they had nothing of what I was looking for.
Have you checked with the 7th Day Adventists? They are vegetarians - and here in the Capital, they have a cafeteria with lots of soy and gluten products available.. I would assume that they have a presence in Santiago as well.
There's a small store at that location. It's on Sanchez Ramirez across the street from the Haitian Embassy (#55 on the map) and just steps away from the Joaqu?n Balaguer Metro station

Ground flax seeds
Actually, that's the only way to do it. Once the flax seeds or Chia seeds (which are even better) are ground, they start losing their effectiveness. Therefore, they should always be ground just before consuming.

can anyone tell me how to use the flax seeds? I bought once one packet of flax seeds and it still stay in my cupboard as i do not know how to use it.
HH , flax seed has become very common in the USA , we usually grind the seed in a coffee grinder and store in a cool dark place in plastic seal bag or the like, add to almost anything, very popular to put in breakfast cereal. just sprinkle on after grinding. I usually only grind enough for a week as the seed lasts longer than the ground portion I'm told.
