I've never seen a cookbook by her in my library, but I live a small town.

I generally check cookbooks out from the library before purchasing them to see if they're worthwhile.

It looks like a spendy purchase. I probably wouldn't invest anything more than $30 including shipping. I find it pretty easy to get ideas and recipes online for free.

My sister bought me a gluten-free cookbook and I haven't made one recipe in it, even though I cook every meal we eat, and have for 17 months.

I'd rather spend the money on good things to eat! :D

It's actually an eBook series (no physical books, just PDF's), and there are 14 volumes in the set, plus some bonus recipes. We bought it, and it doesn't seem bad at all. The "book" on flours alone has a lot of good information in it....how each one tastes, what their best purpose is, etc. I tent to just take regular recipes and modify them myself to make them gluten-free, but I always like a good cookbook for new ideas, or for learning new informatoin and techniques so that I can make stuff up or experiement on my own. :)

Was it a worthwhile expenditure? Would you recommend it to friends who can't tolerate gluten?

I haven't read or tried any of the actual recipes yet, but as far as educational content about flours, gluten-free cooking in general, etc...yes, I think it's worth it. You can get the whole series for about $40 I think it was.

      REESE'S PLANT BASED PEANUTBUTTER CUPS

      By R. M. LOMBARDO · Posted

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Abscesses on legs

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
