Do you know if I can find some milk cereal other than those puffed rice, and puffed millets that it completely sugar free? There are other gluten-free cereals, but they are loaded with sugar. I hate sugar cereals, and wouldn't like them if science decided tomorrow that they were better for you than the sugar free type. But on the other hand I...

That could be a sign that somebody is allergic to sulfties. They used to spray sulfites on strawberries and grapes but stopped in about '89. It could be dangerous not to know about it! I'm finally "out of the closet" about this diet to my family. My mother knows about it. My brother is dismissive, and my father just doesn't get it. But I manage when...

Try Kaili's Kitchen. If you are going to be in the area, and want to try a gluten-free restaurant, you just shouldn't miss it. It's a 100% gluten free restaurant, where you can have bacon cheese burger with fries, pizzas, egg roles and tofu appetizers, onion rings, fried chicken, pancakes, salad with croutons, old fashioned bread baskets, and all kinds...

OK, part of what I said is a half truth. Rationally, gluten-free was the last thing I was willing to consider. But I had some bad hunches about wheat bread, pasta, and other gluten filled stuff for years. I didn't want to face them because of the following false assumptions: 1) That a gluten-free diet was in effect an Atkins diet with nothing but meat...

I have "milleranth mix": 4 cups of millet flour 2 cups of amaranth flour 2 cups of tapioca or potato starch 1.5 Tbs of xanthan gum. And it will pretty much transfer cup for cup with wheat flour in most recipes, and is much more forgiving then most of the mixes listed in the cookbooks.

One common idea is to bake them until they are a little bit crunchy and add heated canned black turtle beans, shredded cheese, and salsa or tomatoes and onions.

Unresponsive celiac is a pretty harsh diagnosis no question. I'm sorry. But you don't know what exactly might be the case for the people at the health food store or what the future may hold for them. I think it's extremely likely that these people actually do sense something profoundly wrong with the way they are eating. I might be just driven...

Truth be told, I initially got into gluten-free by accident. Long story really. But I had no idea that it was a "fad" diet, in some circles. That was certainly not my intent. No what initially happened, was that I ended using advice from celiac oriented books, to deal with some more obvious problems I had with food additives-basically I was adapting the advice...

I don't see the fair as a place to eat, so much as go on rides and look at things. Think of it this way. Fair food stinks! And it tends to be so unhygenic that probably no-one should eat there! (Same for most movie food save the candy bars.) You probably didn't like the food at the fair anyway before diagnosis. If this fair is like most, (which...

I don't know about the idea that Europeans are more genetically vulnerable. Could it just be that you are talking about populatoins that eat a lot of wheat? I understand that it is really common in a lot of North African populations. And I mean around 5%, of all people in some parts of North Africa have it. One suggested reason is another gene that is...

This is the Arizona State Fair? Even for a celiac, I wouldn't consider gluten even the main reason for not eating at that place Having grown up in Arizona, I remember histories of Hepatitis outbreaks, people finding hair in their food, shriveled bits of moldly old hotdog at the bottom of their drinks, a remarkably high frequency of people throwing...

I'd go on the trip if I were you!!! If push comes to shove, you could just put tons of your own bread, crackers and such in a food saver pack. Then you could just fruit, eggs, milk (unless you have trouble with lactose), potatoes, and other dishes that look pretty safe. Also don't forget the chocolate and peanut butter and other goodies, where you don...

I've found that switching virtually all dairy products from cow's milk to goat's milk (or sheep's milk) makes me feel hugely better. Anyone else experience this? It obviously isn't total casein intolerance, or else it wouldn't have made a difference. Also I'm excitotoxin free, which meshes pretty well with a gluten free lifestyle, but not with...

I'm pretty much a millet flour cook myself. I prefer millet not only because of the price but for other reasons: 1) Sorghum gives me horrible gas, diarrhea, and "brain fog" for days, of the kind that many of the "normal celiacs" here described from being glutened. (I know that's ironic given my situation but true.) It happens even with the tiniest bit...

You see at the stores I see, a Bob's Red Mill Package of rice flour is $3.99, while the same size (Bob's again) package of sorghum or millet costs $2.79 and $2.29 respectively. Amaranth, quinoa and teff are more expensive, I think due to their non-commodity status. But I see no reason why rice should costs more than sorghum or millet. I truly suspect...
