I'm assuming that eggs and chocolate are okay? I made a chocolate cake a few weeks ago using sorghum instead of rice flour and it turned out great. It's the recipe from this website. For the flour mix I make up 3 C Sorghum flour, 1 C Potato starch, 1/2 C Tapioca starch, then measure out from that.

thanks! Do you use that baking mix alot? I mean is it a good substitute for any flour in a recipe? And yes, eggs and chocolate ok so far....My littlest one just turned 1 yesterday and I hav a 2 1/2 year old that I am considering going gluten-free for as well. and i find looking for stuff like bread and just basics like that is a real pain. Especially for picky eaters! i will try the cake, thanks again!

I would try substituting normal gluten free recipes with sorghum or amaranth flour for the rice flour. Rice flour is not that good for you anyway. Both flours have a good taste, but sorghum will be a little lighter in texture.

Teff flour is also a good baking flour, the more different flours you put in a recipe, typically, the better it performs.

I use sorghum flour sometimes for a change. It works well in things like chocolate cake and pancakes, but my kids aren't totally thrilled with it for cookies. I kind of like it because it has a kind of nutty taste that's different than rice. There's a recipe on here somewhere for sorghum bread. We all loved the taste, but it fell in the oven, as does every loaf of bread I've tried lately does.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      @trents I’m pretty sure what I’m left with when separating celiac to other causes is my 10% being a virus. The one I had about 3 weeks before taking this TTG test. Everything I’ve read says type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis and some viruses are what could cause the elevation. The other blood tests I had I can compare things against.  I’m going to give your article a thorough read. My support in my circle is very small at the moment.  @knitty kitty I think before EGD I would like to do the DNA test. I’m going to start keeping a better journal also.  I’ve read a crazy amount of these “articles” - these two I’ve not seen. Some articles spell celiac differently. Thank you for...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @knitty kitty My whole family has migraines and I started getting them at age 19, so I'm not sure mine are related to gluten, although I do feel like obviously the more inflamed my whole system is, the more likely I am to suffer from more of these things.

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.
