Hi Everyone! This Is My First Christmas being gluten-free and i was wondering if any of you out there have great christmas cookie recipes?? Is there a replacement for using all purpose flour in a "normal" recipe? Do I have to modify a "normal" recipe in order for it to turn out right?? HELP!!!! I have to be the one to bring the christmas goodies this year to the office. :huh:

I was thinking about this too! I know one thing we will be making is the gluten-free pantry mix for Old Fashioned Cookies. Mix them up and roll them in colored sugar (red/green) to look festive, they are great cookies and NOBODY will know they are gluten-free. (We are egg-free too, so I make them with silken tofu!) Another thing could be melted white chocolate bark, with candied red/green maraschino cherries (cut up tiny) mixed in for a holiday look. Cheese is gluten-free, put it on toothpicks with those little cellophane decorative tops..... fruit is always good too, on skewers. Danielle's chocolate cake, or the Gluten-Free Kitchen cookbook (by Roben Ryberg) has a recipe for peanut butter cookies and if you were realllll careful you might be able to get a hershey kiss pressed in the center....

I just try our "old" recipes with gluten-free flour mixes. The best one so far has been Bob's Red Mill, but I also use Pamela's pancake mix as flour and it has been okay for some things.

I went to a gluten-free cooking class @ Market Street Supermarkets in Collyville, Texas and Ann Brown was the chef. She does the following to translate gluten-free flour for regular flour and her stuff looks identical and her bread is the first I have tasted that had the texture of what I remember wheat bread tasting like.

Ann Browns Flour Mixture:

6c Rice Flour (regular)

2c Potato Starch

1c Tapioca Starch

Take out 1 T per cup and sift 3 times. If she is making some cakes or biscuits she will mix her flour mix with eqaul parts of Bette Hagmans Featherweight Flour Mix. I think you just have to experiment with the recipe you have to see which mixture works best.

I plan on using these when I bake for the holidays.

Hope this helps.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as...

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
