ARCHIVED Coffee
kenlove replied to WhimsiKay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
your right -- all unflavored coffee is gluten-free and all flavored coffee may contain gluten. in any case they sure need better labeling. -
ARCHIVED Coffee
kenlove replied to WhimsiKay's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think they should have said all coffee beans with any added flavoring is gluten free. whole bean unflavored roasted coffee is gluten-free. I use natural flavorings like cinnemon stick or dry orange peal ground with the beans. ken -
SO true! Just the differentces between mozzarellas here is mind boggling!

No relatives from PA but I used to stay in Sonnestown 35+ years ago. Great area near Eagles mere Try writing to Antonio Rotunno at Bio Alimenta and see if he has a US or Canada distribution yet. I know they were wroking on it. They do make some fantastic pasta. take care

ARCHIVED Dull Ache / Burning / Pain In Testicles Associated With Celiac?
kenlove replied to bfrange's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
make sure you get your male hormone levels checked. Makes a big difference in energy and testicular pain. Even after 2 years of being gluten-free you still need to monitor levels of testosterone. ken -
So far so good in Milano, with one exception it was my own fault that I walked into a pizza place when my wife could no longer hold back the urge to try a slice. I came to my senses quickly and turned around and walked out after seeing behind the counter with flour spread from one end to the other. That brief exposure caused a fair amount of discomfort...

day 2 Last night we found da Gaspare Ristorante on via Ravizza 19 Again no gluten-free menu but they are very aware of CC issues and took care to check everything I ordered to make sure there was no trouble. They would not even carry my wifes pasta at the same time as my grilled mixed seafood . The service was great and waiter a lot of fun. This is a...

kenlove replied to kenlove's topic in Publications & Publicity
Dont know about the transglutaminase enzyme other than whats in the story I found. Guess I'm naturally leary of altering these compounds or compiling them but know nothing about it. Hope someone can give you an answer ken -

Finally made it to Milan -- finally found a place more expensive than Tokyo and Hawaii too. It costs US$50 A day to access from the Mariott here so i wont be adding as many messages as I thought I would! the flights from hawaii to here were pretty good. American did have all the gluten-free meals and they were not bad. grilled salmon on rice with...

I do bring a mask with me if I want to buy wine in costco. The dept. is next to the bakery and previously i've picked a bottle and been sick by the time I get to check out. TThe masks work but I usually dont go near the area now and get my wine elsewhere now. wont walk into a bakery at all. Breathing in flour gives me serious cramps and pain where...

ARCHIVED Food That Touches A Wheat Product
kenlove replied to matezsn's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Some of us can be affected on a molecular level. I can't even go into a bakery and if I cant to buy wine at costco I wear a mask like you would use for painting. Others are not as extreme but for the most part cross contamination is a major problem. Good luck -
ARCHIVED Buckwheat Pasta
kenlove replied to Gentleheart's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Making 100% buckwheat noodles, called juwari soba, in Japan can be a challenge. It's much more sticky than other flours but usually worth the effort. Use very cold water or ice water when you mix the dough. I use a rolling pin and knife to cut them but will often mix the dough in a food processor slowly pouring in the water. You have to coat the rolling pin...
