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-

:)

I can't have potato but I can have tapioca & cornstarch!

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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
