I am not rice intolerant but have been using a 3 way mixture of amaranth, sorghum, and millet flour in a lot of baking experiments, and getting nice results, especially if mixed with some almond meal and another "white" starch such as cornstarch or potato or tapioca. I'm using oil instead of butter. Makes a quick bread that tastes whole-grain like, especially if some honey or agave is added for sweetener. It works perfectly in the small cast iron skillet but the last loaf pan came out ever so slightly crumbly without dairy, so I'm going to try tweaking it just a little more.

I'm not sure what will happen if I add flax meal, as I don't do well with flax oil and have been hesitant to experiment unless I have somebody else to feed the results to.

Can you do eggs, I think, from your signature?

yumm yumm yumm

as soon as I get the blood sugar back down where I can have any carbs -- this is on top of the list.

the 3 japanese milets are all different sizes.. guess I should translate the carbs on the label.

maybe you just have to visit japan or hawaii and pick up some of this stuff!

Not really -- its only been 2 weeks and i'm still unable to get myself balanced to where I can stop passing out and have at least a little energy to accomplish something. Been limiting myself to steamed veggies dipped in mustards. ( really is yummy) and soups I make. no carbs at all.

i am looking forward to trying new things once I can get beyond this current thing. Much harder to deal with than I would have thought.

Thanks much -- and I was serious if you want to email me an address. Some of these things I will not be able to have for a long time

if at all and I'm sure you would like playing with the nuka, awa and konnyaku.. that is if I explain them <G>

Suspect Margy is handling things better than I am. She broke both sides of her ankle early in the year so I had to wait on her -- all in all I prefer that than to have to be waited on!

Do have to take insulin pills now -- they are still playing with types and mg. as well as once or twice a day.

Just cant find the balance so the other symptoms go away.

Did make a great dinner tonight. steamed fresh beet greens & stems, gold beets with a few turnips.

a few chopped pea pods, bok choy and drizzled in a miso garlic sauce.. I can still eat miso and garlic!.

1 gram of carb in the miso and that was it.

need to see how nutso my glucose goes tonight.

take care

------------------------------

OH NO, Ken! I hate passing out! Your poor wife- she must me sick about all this!

Do you have to take insulin? Or just dietary restrictions?

I hope you can eat more substantial food very very soon. B)

Thank you Ken for the offer- you take care of yourself right now-

:)

I can't have potato but I can have tapioca & cornstarch!

Hey Sickchick,

Thanks for the great sounding recipe. I too am nightshade intolerant and I sub arrowroot flour in when potato flour is in a recipe. I also sub sorghum for rice flour regularly (I just like the taste better, so far not rice intolerant. I'm gluten, dairy, legume, nightshade and carregeenan intolerant that I know of so far).

I tried this tonight. I did like the flavor of this but was not fond of the consistency. I like the millet less creamy. I like it drier and more firm. I guess I could cut back on the broth.

Try halfing the liquid and cooking it @ shorter time? :)

Thanks for being a trooper though~ :lol:

Wonka carageenan is the devil isn't it? LOL!! :ph34r: it does worse things to my body than dairy! :lol:

Ken....I love beets- I oven roast them on sheet pan w a teeeny bit of olive oil and salt.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS.

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
