: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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
