Cooking From Scratch

Just curious as to how many of you cook from scratch:

A) completely mixing own foods from gluten-free flours

B) cooking from mixes

C) Buy all things premade

If C, where do you buy your products and how expensive are they.

The reason I'm asking is I cook all things from scratch because A) I couldn't find a tasty product at the healthfood store. And B) what I did find on line was expensive.

Hey, this is Pastor Dave's wife. We buy some things premade and make some from scratch! I buy pastas premade because I can't make pasta. (I buy a case at a time to get the discount.) I make any breads, rolls, baked goods type stuff and I even grind most of the grains because the flour is so expensive! We have an Amish food store about 30 min away where I can buy five pounds of tapioca for $3.00 and five pounds of soy for $4.00, etc. So I bought a mill and just run them through! They also have potato starch and rice and buckwheat, and many others for great prices.

Anyway, gluten free stuff doesn't have to be expensive if you have time (but then time can be expensive!) I just think the homemade stuff tastes better.

Enjoy your baking!

Wow, Christina, those are some great prices. I went to the Asian market and found potato starch for about 85 cents a pound, that's better than the health food store. I just got a catalogue in the mail today from Bob's Red Mill. There are local distributors, Bob's claims, that I can order in bulk from.

I would buy stuff at the store if I could get it fresh and it tasted good. I would pay a premium for that, but these products don't seem to exist here in Denver anyway.

Oh well, back to the kitchen :)

I make most things from scratch, but not pasta. I'm a self-proclaimed food nazi, and prefer to make food the way I want it made. I did that before going gluten-free as well, though. :-) Works great for me, and no, I don't spend hours a day cooking. :-D

I make most things from scratch - except for pasta, spaghetti sauce (although that will probably change next summer), and my brown rice bread because I have not been happy with my non-yeast breads at home yet...

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
