    The Empress at 2043 W. Broad (just a few blocks east of the science museum). They serve breakfast/lunch from 6:30am till 2pm. The Chef and manager both have Celiac. Amazing, upscale food. I have also seen "Sprouts", but have never been there. They supposedly have a gluten-free menu, too. It is located near the Cathedral on Morris. Good Luck, Pam

    I am also a workout fanatic... I was so sick just before I was diagnosed and lost ~25 lbs (down to about 105) and could not do my usual workout: short of breath, weak, tired. As I started to feel better and wanted to get back to physical activities, I discovered yoga. I started slow and fell in love with it. Now - 6+ years later, I do my cardio workout...

    Here is how I make my husband's favorite sweet potato dish: - boil up, drain, and mash sweet potatoes (about 6-8?) - add a little orange juice (about half a cup?) - add some cinnamon (a few teaspoons), nutmeg (half a teaspoon), any other spices you want - add some brown sugar (half a cup to over a cup, depending on how sweet you want it) - add some...

    I think your best bet would be Bunky's. It is a cute and fun place and they are so nice there. From I-90: exit Rt12/18 west then, exit onto Monoma Dr. then just keep going on Monona... it turns into Atwood(?), I think. You'll pass the bontanic gardens on your right then the road will bend off to the left and you'll be in an older part of town. Look...

    Thanks! Loved the list. A question about Japan: Do you have to worry about soy sauce? Or is the soy sauce mostly wheat-free in Japan? We go for sushi alot and I take my own gluten-free soy sauce, because all they seem to use in the US is kikomen (wheat is the second on the ingredient list after soy!). I can't wait to go to London or Oz/NZ since...

    The type of gluten not allowed for Celiacs is found in: Wheat Spelt Kamut Barley Rye Oats are controversial because there are two possiblilities: 1) a celiac person is reacting to the protiens in the oats, or 2) the oats are contaminated with wheat. I will not risk eating Quacker Oats, but do occasionally eat McCanns and BobsRedMill (the regular...

    I had no idea about mixing / baking times till I tried it. (I tend to 'wing it' when baking which is not always a good thing!) It really turned out great and will be a yummy holiday desert. Here is what I did: mix all dry ingred. (used my generic gluten-free flour mix) including 2 teaspoons of X.gum beat all wet ingred (including brown sugar) with...

    Hi everyone, I would love to make an eggnog cake for a holiday party I am going to. I found this recipe: 2 cups flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 1/3 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 3 eggs 1 cup eggnog 1 teaspoon vanilla - mix and bake at 350 degress. I'll bet I can just sub my gluten-free flour mix (rice flour, sweet...

    Farro is made from a very close relative of wheat. It is NOT gluten free.

    I was definately glutened by the Hodgson's mills buckwheat flour. I added some to Pamela's pancake mix to make buckwheat pancakes and had a definate gluten reaction. P

    I would use Pamela's (pancake) mix. When I make regular cornbread that calls for 1 cup cornmeal and 1 cup flour, I use Pamela's and it comes out great. Sounds like a great recipe! Good Luck, P

    I would definately suspect the buckwheat flour. I was 'glutened' recently by the Hodson's Mill brand.... it must be cross contamination in the processing plant.

    Does your recipe use a lot of butter or shortning? If you use a large amount of a solid fat, the batter seems just right, then when it heats up in the oven the fat 'melts' and the batter becomes quite liquidy and the solid bits (choc chips) sink. I think this is worse for gluten-free recipes because they tend to be a bit looser batter to begin with...

    Unagi is glazed with a teriaki-like sauce that contains soy sauce, so unless they use a wheat-free soy sauce (which is highly unlikely!), it is NOT gluten free.

    I would fly to San Francisco and eat as much sourdough bread as humanly possible!!

    I always add the small glutino pretzels with good results. Can't help with other flavors, since the 'classic' version is my favorite. Pam

    Hi Brandon, Here is the one page info that I send. I usually call and make the reservation and say that I have some 'dietary restrictions' or 'food allergies' and would like to fax them the info. ******************************************** Dear restaurant

    What you are talking about is 'tobiko'. I heard that it may be sometimes processed with wheat starch so I avoid. Don't know for sure, though... When I order a maki roll at a sushi place I always ask for no tobiko and no fake crab (also may be processed with wheat starch), just in case. Pam
