    Hi, You sound much like me. I have about 8 foods that I am not allergic to. I happened to be looking for a recipe today with soy (one of the few things I can have) and happened upon your post. I can honestly say I know what you are going through. Your sinus problems really struck me, because I have the same thing. I have been trying to figure out...

    I think the equipment we use for gluten free baking makes all the difference in the world. My breads are turning out much better than a few years ago and I think my mixer and bread machine are making a huge difference. I have a Zojoushi bread machine and a Kitchen Aid mixer. Most of the mixes do great and I can bake either in my bread machine or the oven...

    I put my cooled and sliced bread in Ziplock Freezer bags a few pieces together in individual bags. Then, when I got to thaw it I take it out of the bag and let it sit in the air just till any moisture is gone and put it in a new dry bag or I use it all then don't need another bag.

    We have been making gluten free bread for years and in the beginning it was very frustrating. Once companies began making mixes and bread machine settings were geared for gluten free baking things changed. We have several of our family members that eat gluten free and they love the bread we make. We usually use Bob's Red Mill, although there are others that...

    In regard to the temp of the milk or water: On the Bob's Red Mill Bread Mix package it says to warm the milk and then put the yeast into it when baking in the oven. When I use my bread machine the first thing it does after I have put in my liquid, then dry ingredients including the yeast is heat up the machine. I do think the temp for the yeast is very...

    Well, that is interesting, it says its totally gluten free....where does it say 20 parts per 1 million? I use their bread mix and baking mix all the time but haven't ever seen anything about "any" gluten in it at all....sure would like to know where that is....

    I am so sorry you are having such a hard time with your bread. I have made other things that flop and its no fun at all! Especially when one is "hungry"! I use Bob's Red Mill gluten free bread mix with a Kitchen Aide Mixer. I have made the bread both in the oven in pans and in my Zojoushi bread machine. It works well both ways. It comes out tall, done...

    Oh yes, I also like the recipes on Bob's Red Mill page. Open Original Shared Link

    My favorite is Special Diet Solutions by Carol Fenster. It has various food allergy, gluten free choices for each recipe. So if you can't have one of her ingredients she suggests another. Everything we have made from it is just delicious! Enjoy!

    It just dawned on me that it is possible that someone that had a KitchenAid Stand Mixer (if one burned out) very well could have used the wrong mixer tool for the motor. I noticed when I got mine that in the book it said certain tools were for certain things. I would assume that it would be too hard on the tool/blade as well as the motor if something was...

    Hi, I too went looking for a good mixer for our gluten free baking. We too have a family that eat gluten free, husband, children and 10 grandchildren. When I went to look at the ratings there were different KitchenAid machines, plus lots of others. We had a Bosch years ago and that is what I went looking for. After talking to other gluten free people...

    Oh, you poor thing! Go down to the basement and get your wonderful Kitchen Aid!! One of the beauties of Kitchen Aid is the METAL makeup! Just wash it off, everywhere you can wash it off at and it should be fine. I have one myself and its easy to get into all the tough places to get it clean. Bowls, blades, hooks, and attachments easily soak, wipe off...

    Did a Google and found these for you: **Charcoal, Natural Hardwood Gourmet Lump Charcoal, Mali's Product ID: 031436000111 Size: 10lb Burns faster, burns cleaner, uses less than traditional charcoal. Plus, it's not laden with all those chemicals found in traditional charcoal. Natural wood gourmet charcoal sets a new standard of excellence for grilling...

    Hi, My favorite cookbook is Carol Fenster's Special Diet Solutions. Every recipe takes like a normal gluten recipe and there are many variables (dairy, egg, yeast refined sugar free) for each recipe to choose from, depending on what your allergies/sensitivities are. She has great bread recipes in it and you should taste the brownies!!! (just had to throw...

    Hi, We have tried all sorts of bread makers and have found the Zojirushi to be the best. It cooks the bread all the way through without burning it (a problem in some). You just put the ingredients in it and forget about it. We make bread from scratch, plus use prepared mixes such as Bob's Red Mill, Pamela's etc. We also make multiple loaves of bread...

    Hi Kate, I just use rice milk by Pacific in our bread. Also, it is my opinion that anyone with any type of digestive difficulties, especially those with celiac or gluten sensitivities should be on very good digestive enzymes (not those from the natural food stores, they aren't potent enough). They have made a world of different in my life! When I eat...

    I know there are some pre-made pizza crusts but none of them have ever gotten past our 18 year old, but he loves the home made ones. Another tip is that we use a pastry roller to spread the dough around. It gets nice a thin (if you want it that way) and very even. A pastry roller is just a small little rolling pin! I got mine at Kitchen Collection and...

    YES THERE IS! It is my FAVORITE Gluten free cookbook! Its by Carol Fenster called Special Diet Solutions and in my book (sort of old though) on page 42. We have used it several times and its great. You use an egg replacer like Ener-G and you would use rice milk (there are in the choices). Happy Pizza eating!

    Hi, I make great hamburger and hot dog buns by using Bob's Red Mill bread mix pkg (or I mix the dough from scratch) and putting the dough into either little round cookie cutters (4" x1") that I got at Kitchen Collection for about 50c for Hamburger buns, or putting the dough into a square cake pan (you get 3 lg or 4 narrow hot dog buns) or you can put it...

    I only have a second and will try to post again later, but....whenever I get into gluten or have a reaction to something I eat I take digestive enzymes from a company out of Houston called Transformation Enzymes. They work wonderful and decrease my symptoms to nothing! I have a contact of a Dr. that will work with celiacs over the phone if you would like...

    What I do is cool it, slice it (I have a bread slicer frame holder) and freeze it in individual freezer bags with 2 pieces in each. Then I can just take out what I need. gluten-free bread only stays fresh for 1 or 2 days out of the freezer, but does great when you pop it in the freezer and use it when you need it! I too use Bob's Red Mill and it turns out...

    Actually, here is how I understand it. When I was growing up and my mom bought maple syrup it was the Log Cabin kind. She kept it in the pantry, as it wasn't just maple syrup but all sorts of preservatives. Now that we don't buy that kind anymore and buy natural, pure maple syrup it needs to be refrigerated. I don't know what the label says anymore on...

    We have done that often because we have an 18 year old son! Just put it in the frig, no problem!

    Thanks, it sounds great! There are so many new things out there that I thought it would be a great asset. Can anyone tell me what PDA's they have? I sure would appreciate it! I am about to buy either a Palm or a Pocket p.c. and I actually would like to find one that is used, as this is all I will be using it for,....so...does anyone have any suggestions...

    Hi, Celiac is VERY difficult to diagnose. The gold standard at one time was how you did on a gluten free diet. Now Dr's run all sorts of tests that may or may not be accurate and sometimes we are left with bigger problems than if we had just gone gluten free and seen if we felt better. Our son is 18 and when we first began seeing reactions to him eating...
