: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?

YUM

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.

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.

He sounds like a keeper :D

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
