Bette Hagman uses it in addition to eggs - to help with the texture/rising. If you can't find it, try mixing 1 tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. baking powder (or any amount in the same ratio) and measuring the amount you need. It's not exactly what the egg replacer is, but it should work in a recipe that also calls for eggs. In a recipe that doesn't use real eggs, you can substitute one egg for every 1-1/2 tsp egg replacer and reduce liquid by 3 Tbs.

here is also something I found somewhere else...I haven't tried all these before

Egg replacers

2 eggs - Use 1/2 cup soft silken tofu.

Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.

2 Tbsp corn starch = 1 egg

2 Tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg

2 Tbsp potato starch = 1 egg

1 heaping Tbsp soy powder + 2 Tbsp water = 1 egg

1 Tbsp soy milk powder + 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsps water = 1 egg.

1 Tbsp flax seeds + 1 cup water = 1 egg. Blend seeds and water for 1 to 2 minutes

until desired consistency.

1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

I have used banana to repalce oil before so their is less fat... but I usually use the ener-g if the recipe calls for 4 eggs I use 2 eggs and ener-g for the other two...but I use egg replacer in almost all my recipes it seems to help make things taste more like wheat products. good luck

went to the ener g site, and they directed me to a local grocer here who carries it. 6 blocks from my house, i'd never heard of it before lol

My favorite egg replacer is 1 1/2T water, 1 1/2T canola oil, 1 tsp baking powder mixed together = 1 egg

It works for up to 2 eggs

I use 1 tbsp ground flax mixed with 3 tbsp hot water for each egg. When I need fluffiness, I also double baking soda and baking powder.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
