Does anyone on this site subscribe to the "gluten free baking" website? There is a $34.99 membership fee. Just wondering if it is worth the money?

I'm new to posting on this forum, I have been reading quite a bit though.

I've been signed up for the gluten free baking website and I have to say for me it was well worth it. I have found the Tom Sawyer baking flour and also came across the Better Batter flour which I haven't tried yet. The tom sawyer flour so far has been a great substitute for regular flour. I have only tried a choc. chip cookie square so far with it and that turned out really good.

That being said, I still use her recipes. I started with the free cookie recipe before signing up and it was an awesome replacement. I have since learned a few tricks about cooking with gluten free flours. According to her website, she doesn't use a special mix because breads, cookies and cakes, etc. require different flours in different amounts.

She has many categories of recipes including bread, quick bread, cake, cookies, breakfasts, etc. I know if you have a recipe you've tried to recreate gluten free, you can send her the original recipe and she will try to duplicate it. sometimes it may take a while to duplicate recipes, but it could be well worth it if you miss something foodwise. She is a culinary chef-and I think it is her hubby who has celiac-not her, so she can make the recipe using normal wheat ingredients, then makes it gluten free also so she knows it tastes the same.

just my 2 cents worth, but i would definately renew my subscription when it runs out.

Hey Heather, welcome to the site. I have learned so much here. Hope you do also. Thanks for your input. I am still not sure if I want to spend the money. Have you ended up with a lot of spam once you joined her site?

      Fiber Supplement

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
