Good Sunday Morning everyone :)

So, my mom is lactose and casein intolerant BIG TIME, bless her heart. I started making her homemade biscotti and boy she loves them, they're a real treat for her and I make sure they are safe for her.

the last ones I made were Dark Chocolate with Pecans. I have the the stuff to make her almond ones now, but ... can I make them? Is it safe for me to actually make them with my hands? I figure even wearing gloves wouldn't make it safe if it's not safe ......

ok, excuse that sentence. I need to have my coffee LOL.

My mom loves the biscottis I make and I'd hate to tell her I can't make them anymore.

Connie, Almost didn't recognize you. You changed your picture! :P

Heres what I have decided at my house: Touching flour isn't bad, getting it under your nails and not getting it washed out - bad. Gloves - good idea.

My main concern is the flour in the air. When you mix it, it always flies up and can take a while to land after circulating around (I have had hard wood floor refinishing dust in the air for days.) I haven't made anything with wheat flour since going gluten-free. M wants Dad's rolls but they will mix them out on the porch, in the garage or probably next door at our good friends house. Mixing them next door of course, will cost us some rolls. :)

could you make the biscotti at your moms or have the grand kids help at your daughters?

Another option would be to use a gluten-free flour blend in your recipe. I don't use wheat flour or any non gluten-free baking mixes in my kitchen at all--the flour gets into the air and settles everywhere.

I would think that biscotti would adapt well to gluten-free--I've been meaning to try it.

Yeah, that other piccy of me bothers me, I don't like it cuz it looks all stuffy and prim and proper, that don't look like me at all, I'm a big ol' mess :D

LOL, i got this vision of me at my daughter's house in one of those big white decontamination suits with a big, yellow gas mask on , "ok, add one teaspoon of baking powder...." that just struck me funny for some reason :D

I think I recently saw a recipe for biscotti somewhere...maybe here? Search and see. Also, at our library, you can search and then request gluten-free cookbooks. If they have lots of recipes you like you can buy them or just copy a couple of recipes. Gluten free baking by Rebecca Reilly.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
