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.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
