I am not rice intolerant but have been using a 3 way mixture of amaranth, sorghum, and millet flour in a lot of baking experiments, and getting nice results, especially if mixed with some almond meal and another "white" starch such as cornstarch or potato or tapioca. I'm using oil instead of butter. Makes a quick bread that tastes whole-grain like, especially if some honey or agave is added for sweetener. It works perfectly in the small cast iron skillet but the last loaf pan came out ever so slightly crumbly without dairy, so I'm going to try tweaking it just a little more.

I'm not sure what will happen if I add flax meal, as I don't do well with flax oil and have been hesitant to experiment unless I have somebody else to feed the results to.

Can you do eggs, I think, from your signature?

yumm yumm yumm

as soon as I get the blood sugar back down where I can have any carbs -- this is on top of the list.

the 3 japanese milets are all different sizes.. guess I should translate the carbs on the label.

maybe you just have to visit japan or hawaii and pick up some of this stuff!

Not really -- its only been 2 weeks and i'm still unable to get myself balanced to where I can stop passing out and have at least a little energy to accomplish something. Been limiting myself to steamed veggies dipped in mustards. ( really is yummy) and soups I make. no carbs at all.

i am looking forward to trying new things once I can get beyond this current thing. Much harder to deal with than I would have thought.

Thanks much -- and I was serious if you want to email me an address. Some of these things I will not be able to have for a long time

if at all and I'm sure you would like playing with the nuka, awa and konnyaku.. that is if I explain them <G>

Suspect Margy is handling things better than I am. She broke both sides of her ankle early in the year so I had to wait on her -- all in all I prefer that than to have to be waited on!

Do have to take insulin pills now -- they are still playing with types and mg. as well as once or twice a day.

Just cant find the balance so the other symptoms go away.

Did make a great dinner tonight. steamed fresh beet greens & stems, gold beets with a few turnips.

a few chopped pea pods, bok choy and drizzled in a miso garlic sauce.. I can still eat miso and garlic!.

1 gram of carb in the miso and that was it.

need to see how nutso my glucose goes tonight.

take care

------------------------------

OH NO, Ken! I hate passing out! Your poor wife- she must me sick about all this!

Do you have to take insulin? Or just dietary restrictions?

I hope you can eat more substantial food very very soon. B)

Thank you Ken for the offer- you take care of yourself right now-

:)

Hey Sickchick,

Thanks for the great sounding recipe. I too am nightshade intolerant and I sub arrowroot flour in when potato flour is in a recipe. I also sub sorghum for rice flour regularly (I just like the taste better, so far not rice intolerant. I'm gluten, dairy, legume, nightshade and carregeenan intolerant that I know of so far).

I tried this tonight. I did like the flavor of this but was not fond of the consistency. I like the millet less creamy. I like it drier and more firm. I guess I could cut back on the broth.

Try halfing the liquid and cooking it @ shorter time? :)

Thanks for being a trooper though~ :lol:

Wonka carageenan is the devil isn't it? LOL!! :ph34r: it does worse things to my body than dairy! :lol:

Ken....I love beets- I oven roast them on sheet pan w a teeeny bit of olive oil and salt.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
