    I am sorry to hear that you are going through a bad spell.... I do think stress could be a factor. My advice would be to back off all the processed foods... bread/pizza/pasta, whether gluten-free or not, are not the most healthy things to eat. Be kind to yourself and your insides: eat fresh veggies (well steamed) and fruits and plain meats and eggs...

    Yes, I get similar pain sometimes when I've been glutened. I assume the pain is from gas trapped somewhere.... burping should help relieve the pain. It sometimes helps me to twist... almost like wringing out your insides. Sit on the floor cross-legged. Reach your right hand to the floor behind you and put your left hand on your right knee, then twist...

    Hi, Glutaronitrile is a chemical and is not related to gluten. Pam

    Hi Michelle, The best advice I can give you is to eat very simply. Stay away from processd foods and anything else you suspect might be giving you troubles (soy, corn, dairy, etc...). When I was first trying to get back on my feet I ate a lot of rice (and cream-of-rice) and bananas (drizzled with honey for a few extra calories), poached chicken (drizzled...

    I love the chocolate munch ones! Nana's makes only three gluten-free cookies, the rest are 'regular' flour/gluten products.... I wonder about contamination (although I have never had a bad reaction to them).... since the gluten-free cookies are probably made in the same facility as the others. ps I don't think the lemon cookies are gluten-free! You...

    I am running for the bathroom about 30-60 min after being accedentally glutened. I am always amazed at the different answers this question always gets! Pam

    Hi all, Has anyone come up with a gluten-free 'chex' mix type snack? Are corn and rice Crunch'Ems officially gluten-free? I bought a packet of the chex mix seasoning and it looks OK, has anyone used it? Thanks, Pam

    Agee, I would go with buckwheat... kasha is buckwheat, right? I think that would be very similar to wheat berries. I'm not sure about a) finding buckwheat/kasha that is not contaminated with wheat and how the cooking times would compare. Good Luck! Pam

    I use all McCormick products with no problem, including the pumpkin pie spice. Happy Baking, Pam

    According to the nutrition facts I found, Coconut flour is very high in fat... 58% calories from fat. Or about 12g fat per cup! In comparison, rice flour is 3% fat which is 2g fat per cup. Might be best to use in combo with other flours.... Pam

    Yes! Sounds like a good plan... Let us know how it turns out. Pam

    Sigh... I was quite the bread baker in my former, pre-gluten-free life! To make a bread with a finer 'crumb' and softer texture you need to add protien and fat to 'coat' the grains (in wheat bread that means the gluten, which gives the bread it's texture and strength). I am assuming the same might hold true with gluten free bread. The best way to...

    Hi all, I will be at a conference at the Fairmont Queen Elization the first week in Oct. Any recomendations for restaurants near-by (downtown area) or in Old Montreal? Thanks, Pam

    Hi, First of all, stay away from the oat flour! I'm not sure about the oats in China, but all the oats available in the US are contaminated with wheat. Some eat scottish or irish oats, but I have heard tales of people 'reacting' to them, also. Secondly, potato flour and tapioca flour are very similar, so I would just use the potato and rice flours...

    I would worry about the 'artificial chicken flavor' and 'carmel'. Best to call the manufacturer....Sometimes there is an 800 number on the label... Pam

    Benzoate of soda is the same as sodium benzoate. It is used as a preservative in many processed foods and, to my knowledge, is gluten free. Pam

    Just off the top of my head... suate a little minced garlic and minced ginger in oil for a few minutes then added diced up chicken breast and stir-fry till done. At the very end of cooking add a few teaspoons of gluten-free soy suace and a few teaspoons of toasted sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice and veggies. You could do this...

    Everything looks OK! What a nice surprize for her... I am assuming you will be using freshly grated parmesan? Some pre-shredded packages or the powdered stuff might be questionable. And be sure that everything... countertop, pans, pasta strainer, etc... is very clean to avoid contamination. Good Luck, Pam

    Hi, Yes, one of my autoimmune issues is Sjogrens.... I have very mild mouth and eye dryness. Vaginal dryness was mostly solved by going on Synthoid for hypothyroidism several years ago. One my worst symptoms of Celiac is mouth sores and I cannot help but think that my mild Sjogrens contributes to that. I just heard about a thoothpaste/mouthwash called...

    Hi all, My husband and I are planning a vacation to Carmel/Monterey California. I would like info on positive or negative restaurant experiences. We are driving from San Fran and hope to have lunch in Santa Cruz (any suggestions?), preferably near the ocean. In the Carmel/Monterey area we'll be interested in fine/upscale dinning for dinner and cute...

    Health Valley Rice Bran crackers are gluten-free and taste like real graham crackers! In my store they are with the regular crackers with all the other Health Valley (non gluten-free) products. Good Luck, Pam

    anyone ever tried almond butter or cashew butter, etc...? Seems you can get lots of fun ''nut butters" these days. My only worry is that the recipe is designed to use creamy 'jif' type peanut butter, not the 'natural' ground stuff that is similar to other nut butters. Pam
