Are they any good? I was thinking of trying the Ginger Stir Fry and the Sweet and Sour sauces.

okay, so i went home over lunch and stuck my tongue in the bottle to taste :) (sweet and sour)... let's just say it was "funky." maybe try the other flavors and not the sweet and sour :blink: it just tasted weird, not like the sweet and sour sauce you'd get at a restaurant. here's a homemade recipe for it if you want to try making it from scratch...

2 tb Oil, peanut

2 ts Garlic, minced

2 ts Ginger, minced

1 c Water

1 c Vinegar

1 c Sugar

1 c Ketchup

2 tb Cornstarch

2 tb Water

1/2 ts Salt

Heat the oil in a wok and add garlic, ginger, water, vinegar, sugar and ketchup. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add salt. Add to the mixture in the wok and cook until clear. Serve hot, or cool and refrigerate for later use.

I ordered a whole bunch, unfortunately. We found them awful. Others I'm sure will like them but they just tasted kind of well as another poster put it .. funky.

Thanks guys!! You saved me a few dollars. I'm definately gonna try that recipe for sweet and sour sauce. How long does it stay for if I bottle it?

'His" Tangy Bang is good, in my opinion - I use it to add to stir fry veggies, etc -

BTW, if you order from the Mr. Spice web site, it's cheaper than at other sites, and you get free bottles with larger orders....

I think it's worth trying different gluten-free products like these, seeing which ones you like and then trying to copy the ingredients, if you can produce the same thing for less -

Oh thank G-d you told me that. I would have thought I could make it and keep it for 2 months like a store bought sauce. This link is awesome. You rock!! Thanks.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
