  1. COUld be, but we'll never know. Your right when you said" it doesn't mean that people who suffered from agoraphobia were not celiac " but it also doesn't mean that they were. It would be interesting if you could find some correlation but I bet this isn't it. I bet the incidence of celiac in the old world was very small too.
  2. There were 2000 years between hunter gathers turning to agriculture and the first flour breads. Prior to that was occasional flat bread made from grains that today, do not contain gluten. The first breads were made from Eikorn and farro which have low gluten content when compared to the modified wheats we eat today. I think it would be a stretch...
  3. It took my wife a few months to get used to it but honestly, after a few times of me being so sick and leaving a trail around the house that I was too sick to clean up, she got the message about not having flour or things hidden from me that I could see but were still in the air -- also about using my colendar once and having a piece of her pasta stuck...
  4. I can read Japanese and not Hangul so its hard to say. The Japanese are especially strict with imports, even more than the US so those labels have to be identifed and if processed with soy sauce it has to say what was in the soy sauce. Usually I just stay away from anything that has anything other than plain dried seaweed.
  5. You also have to be careful with dry seaweed which is often processed with wheat based soy sauce. sometimes it takes time to get used to and you might get sick a few times in the process. good luck
  6. well with some of my classes I can really understand death by pickles! ( they are so good and I eat too much!)
  7. baby food? Mush? Its over cooked no matter what you call it. Still edible but mush
  8. When I taught in Guam, we had to use they little iawatani gas table top burners. It took two cans of gas to get up to 11 lbs of pressure and it took a long time but it worked. Usually you can find them in Oriental markets
  9. been using dried figs form greece, turkey, croatia and a few other places and have never had any problem nor have I ever heard of them being dusted with anything. What appears like dust is actually the natural sugar. Nuts are another story. Check the McD's walnuts in their salads. -- coated with wheat starch.
  10. most of the high end places will prepare incredibly good gluten-free meals especially given advance warning. The hotel chefs will do so too. I usually go to 12th Ave Grill. Kevin Haney is the chef. Town is very good with Ed Kenny. Cactus in Kailua town with chef John and Chef Mavros which is excellent but expensive. Alan Wong and Roy...
  11. shop-rite can can is a new one for me -- we didnt have that quality music in Hawaii <G>. we used to stuff the monster Zucchini with pizza stuff and took it to my friends pizza place. These days I use a spiralizer to make noodles form the large ones. just google spiralizer and you'll find a great tool.
  12. somewhere out there I bet we can find a bunch of canning songs.
  13. make them into bread and butter pickles-- just use the brine from the so easy to preserve book for B&B pickles. We pick a lot when they are only 2 inches long so I usually pickle those( no choice since larger and the worm or fruit flies get them) but you can make the slices. with the grape leaves they hold together well.
  14. will look forward to the grape leaves report.. they also work great stuffed in the holes you get after falling while running with scissors
  15. Thanks -- grape leaves are amzing. I learned a lot of this form my great Aunt back in the 50s spending summers on the farm in Indiana. Cant complain about farms on Molokai or mine in Kona but there is something special in the midwest memories and cucumbers is one of it. Grape leaves with my grandmother is another. I can't imagine making a pickle without...
  16. great book! then comes the ball blue book -- check with your local university cooperative extension to see if they have a master food preserver program. If you google the program you can find alot of info and recipes, especially from calif.
  17. Maybe I should let my grand daughter answer this ()-- Not all jars are tempered an can withstand the heat or pressure. In most of the text books we are warned against mayo and sometimes, tomato sauce jars. These are filled on the assembly line at the ungodly rate of like 10,000 jars a minute and there is just no time for checking for flaws. We often cant...
  18. your in good shape then! I love these canners with the gauges!
  19. Thats ok, my wife thinks I'm nuts -- at least for the last 37 years I picked one out of the hot water 2 days ago with no bottom on it -- at least I know why the water was murky.. Your right, sometimes it just happens. Pressure canners are a great investment for meats and beans and veggies where you cant use hot water bath. good luck
  20. I'll try to check it out the next time i get to a whole foods in August. They dont have one here in Kona ut I'm speaking at one in August and try to remember to check the figs. Like Peter said, so many things have this disclaimer now. Even some M&MS. I just don't take chances. I'm not sure where you are but I bet you could grow your own fig tree, they...
  21. My doc said to take the supplement alpha liphoic acid which I get at the vitamin shoppe. It helps. You dont notice at first but when I run out of them I notice the increase in pain. Spent 5 hours in the ER sunday with new leg pain too. Just glad its not a clot. I also take magnesium which seems to help too.
  22. Whats with the figs? Are these dried and packaged with wheat starch or something? I grow and dry my own which is safe but also buy the dried wheels of figs from GReece and Turkey which are ok too.
  23. Try to find SO Easy to Preserve from the Univ. of Georgia. Thats the "Bible" of safe canning recipes. Does your cooker/canner have a gauge or just the numbered weight?
  24. I developed and administer the Master Food Preserver Program in Hawaii and have been teaching canning for many years among my other jobs. Feel free to ask questions if needed. I use 1 little chili pepper with beans when i can them and also kosher, canning or Hawaiian salt. Have also sliced some onions in the jars. Did you use 5% vinegar? Why do you think...
  25. Open Original Shared Link is original link Is Gluten Making You Depressed? The Link between Celiac Disease and Depression Published on May 24, 2011 by Open Original Shared Linkin Open Original Shared Link I recently consulted with a 24 year-old patient diagnosed with Open Original Shared Link, anxiety, and Open Original Shared Link. He was prescribed...
