They do show up, just at the very back of the board until a moderator looks at your post, approves it, makes sure it is in the right forum and pins it, which will then bring it to the front of the forum.

You can always find new posts, pinned or not, by clicking on 'View New Posts'.

Hi and welcome

After you post a new topic, a moderator has to read it, determine if it's in the correct forum and then pin it. Since we are not always on line, it may take a little while until it's seen. You can always check the "View New Posts" to see your topic before it's pinned. Here is one of your topics--

Hope that helps

Patti-I just noticed that you are allergic to a lot of other foods as well, including rice. What do you eat?

In my previous answer to you, I almost wrote "I can't eat rice, either"

I'm actually intolerant to those foods. I eat meats, poultry, veggies (except legumes), a few fruits, potatoes, almonds, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dark chocolate, tea, and spring water.

For a thickener, potato starch. For milk (in mashed potatoes, etc.), Vance's Dairy Free--which is a potato-based milk substitute. It makes great cocoa!

For treats, I make grain-free chocolate chip cookies, and once in a while drink Boylan Cane Cola (cola sweetened with sugar, not corn syrup).

It's taken a good year to figure this all out. The gluten-free diet was working fine for me until about the 4th month. That's when the other intolerances began to show up.

How about you?

Oops, I meant to use the word intolerance. Thank you so much for the info! It really helps to hear what other people are eating. I will have to check out Vance's Dairy Free. Most of my interolances seem to have come on after my first pregnancy (my son is 18 months now). However, looking back, I think I had more reactions than I realized (I always assumed it was the wheat before going gluten free) even before my Celiac Diagnosis. I've pretty much been sick since I was a child. Now I think I always had certain intolerances, especially brown rice, but now I have developed so many more including white rice. And what is funny is that sometimes I can eat items with rice flour (such as cookies), but if I eat plain rice or rice noodles, I get horrible stomach reactions. I think what I really need to do is get rid of all rice. But it is difficult because I wish I could have more crunchy snacks besides potato chips! Do you eat peanut butter? Your interolances sound similar to mine so I think I will try to follow what you eat. ~Noelle

Unfortunately, I don't eat peanut butter anymore All legumes bother me, so I avoid them.

Good luck with everything, and keep in touch!

Patti,

How do you make your grain free chocolate chip cookies? I love chocolate chip cookies, but I have been eating ones with rice in them. I need to find an alternative. Thanks!

Hi Noelle,

I was given a recipe for wheat-free chocolate chip cookies that used a lot of sugar. I tweaked it so that it only uses 1/2 cup. This is the one I came up with--if you would like the original also, I will find it and get it to you.

Patti's Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening (or regular shortening if you use it)

1/2 cup Domino Light Brown Sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. McCormacks Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

1 1/4 cup Potato Starch (I use Ener-g brand)

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Foods makes a soy/dairy free one) Nestle is ok

Combine the shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in salt, soda, potato starch and chips. Drop from teaspoon onto baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes at 375. After cooling on rack, store in an airtight container.

These come out like tiny chocolate chip cakes. Lighter than traditional toll house cookies.
