:lol: Wow that sounds great.

I wonder if you could add candied ginger to Pamela's yellow cake mix Pound Cake. (yeah, I know...I'm a slacker). I've added Heath Candy Chips, Macadamians and Coconut.

MMM HEATH BARS! I used to keep the toffee chips in my freezer before I knew I was lac-tarded :lol:B)

Try the baking mix! Psh that is how I did it until I lost my mind and bought more than one gluten free ingredient at a time! ;) hahaha

I like keeping muffins around to munch on when I am not shoveling cookies in my mouth HAHAHA

God wait til I break out the pumpkin again... it's almost time!

Patti can you use a mix and omit the coconut stuff?

Collette--

I've actually been meaning to ask you.....would a flour mix or just straight rice flour be an ok sub for coconut flour? I'd love to be able to use coconut, since it's so healthy, but I'm sensitive to pretty much all plant proteins <_<

Thanks :D

Patti, would the 'plant proteins' include almond flour too?

Yeah, I think fiber is another thing needed to replace coconut flour, so maybe rice bran?

I'm good with almonds--the rice bran is a good idea, too. I've never tried that.

With sensitivities to soy tapioca and coconut, baking is a juggling substitution act :lol:

Thanks ladies :D

I'd say one cup of coconut flour would be replaced by one cup of potato/corn starch with two tbsps taken out of it and replaced with rice bran. Also, you'll need to reduce the amount of liquid or egg in the recipe since coconut flour uses up so much eggs and fluid.

Rice bran sounds good...might have to pick some of that up! :)

I am actually kind of getting a kick out of flour-swapping! LOL!!! B):lol:

It makes us think outside the box and get creative

For spicy stuff, try using 1/4 of the recipe with teff flour. It gives a very moist crumb, and a nice earthy flavor. Don't go over a quarter unless what you're doing is chocolate though, starts to taste kinda funny (to me).

Isn't teff a darker flour too? :)

These sound wonderful!

Here's another challenge, I can't have bananas or vanilla. Do you think mango puree would work in place of the bananas?? I know coconut and mango go well together (I have coconut mango smoothies :D ) but I am just not sure if mango jives with all of these wonderful spices.

And what would leaving the vanilla out do to the finished product?

YES!!! Pineapple even...OHOH or pear puree LOL :lol:

You can use ginger with any tropical fruit! B)

DAM! I would be sad if I couldn't have vanilla.

yes, which is one reason I recommend it for heavier, spicy/ or chocolate stuff. The taste blends well with peanut butter flavor too.

Thanks, Doll. I am going to see if I can't find a bag of that and a bag of Rice Bran when I am @ health food store this afternoon! B)

Yeah, rice bran is good when you don't want the gamy flavor of flax. Don't use as much rice bran as you would flax, either, it makes things mealy if you use too much, it doesn't gel like flax does. Ex: two Tbps flax seed: one Tbsp rice bran.

It's funny how flax's composition is so much like psyllium... the way it gels! LOL ;):lol:

Well, he discovered after moving in with me and eating gluten-free all the time that when he does have pizza or whatever somewhere he has some rather 'unfriendly' side effects (whew) so he usually doesn't eat any. I think my boyfriend may be the most understanding guy on the planet. When it comes to Celiac, I mean. He won't even let anyone in the house without washing their hands.

He sounds like a keeper :D

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
