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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
