    You most certainly can use flax meal as the only "flour". However you can't substitute it in regular recipes. You need to use recipes specially designed for it. There are lots out there for pizza crusts, muffins, bread etc. Google low-carb flax meal and whatever it is that you are looking for, muffins for example. Much easier than the usual gluten-free baking...

    If it makes you fee any better, I am a fainter and when I first started checking my BG, my hubby did it for me, but I am an old pro now I have quite a story about those early days and what it took to get it done-when I had gestational. I am not a morning person either so planning and make ahead and keeping it simple helped. Before I became allergic...

    I edited my post a bit so please go back and read. Mostly for tone but I added a few things and a link I forgot to put in. Well, if doc wants to wait 'till you hit 200 and you are close enough, why wait! I don't want to scare you and I know it's scary. This is my gripe with docs. I was unxd 10yrs! and the docs ignored me and when I finally demanded testing...

    If you already use flax, try these, which will be much friendlier to your BG and easier than the usual gluten-free baking! No 5 flours to mix up! Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link There are some pizza crsut recipes out there too. google low-carb flax and whatever it is you are looking for. I highly recommend this "solution"...

    I will say what your doc might not. I'm sorry but your Gtt results are not normal and not non-diabetic. With a below normal fasting, normal being about 83, anything in the 70's being slightly hypo by some, your doc may be stumped as to what/ if he can give you. They are used to seeing a certain pattern and some of us don't fit the boxes. You need to be...

    Good Girl for your 9 yr old! and Awww, how sweet about your 16yr old's girlfriend and family. Glad for your good news.

    My son and I were both already gluten-free when we learned of his corn allergy. Corn is in everything too. I went corn-free in support of him. He didn't have severe symptoms so it was hard for him to be motivated and I felt it would be so mean to eat corn-chips etc in front of him. I did have canned chicken with cornstarch in it but he has no personal feelings...

    I am really missing pizza, after a few years of no dairy and no tomatoes. I could probably manage to make and allergen-free crust but what to put on it? All the cheese alternatives are out due to other allergens-soy and tapioca. No nightshades so no red pepper sauce. No matter what it would be more of a foccacia than a pizza. I could make an olive an rosemary...

    I think it will be important for various reasons, both short and long-term, to have at least some of her food on the family dinner table for everyone to eat. Sets a good example for her, makes her feel included, makes her food feel more "normal". Even as an adult, I need that and my 13 yr old does too. We have a lot of separate food for one of us or the other...

    There really shouldn't be a dilema of choice. Managing diabetes has a lot to do with carb choices. There are plenty of gluten-free carb options. Just like the main stream population, everyone who is gluten-free or has Diabetes or both, makes different food choices. With diabetes, everyone makes different food and management choices and has different set target...

    Depends on the type of recipe-if it is one where you stir a whole grain in and can see that grain and feel the added texture when it's done or if it's a situation where it is oats that have been processed into a flour and then added. I used to make "whole grain" pancakes with cooked cereals. Stir in a bit of your favorite cooked cereal into the batter...

    vitamin C helps with iron absorption so I often eat a clementine with my prunes

    Your oven mitts are fine, just wash as usual. No need for any special effort.

    My family likes this recipe Open Original Shared Link be sure to get gluten-free ingredients. It is possible to be allergic to beef. It might be the stuff they add to it sometimes to keep bacteria at bay, rather than gluten. Goggle pink slime and ground beef.

    Adhesives can also contain natural rubber aka latex. I have a latex allergy and my fingers can go numb if I touch/handle things with latex like the grips on pens. Do you get "band-aid marks"? if you use standard band-aids? I did but not if I use latex-free band-aids. If you have a substance allergy then an opening in the skin would make the "allergen" get...

    When your kiddo is able to have dairy again, you can send grilled cheese sandwiches. My son never minded that they weren't warm. I sent variations of them regularly- grilled ham and swiss, cheddar, provolone and salami, mixed cheeses etc. I called our school and asked about the salads because of an allergy and they connected me up with the district facility...

    I'm such a nerd. When that huge tome came out a few years back on life in a victorian home, if that wasn't the title itself. I checked it out from the library and read it and enjoyed it. Christopher something or other, the guy on America's Test Kitchen, had a special on recently and had the staff prepare a victorian dinner in a victorian house they...

    Well, I was an English Lit major... I watched it last year so I remeber some of what happens in the end but I won't spoil it for you

    Yeah, I initially tested pos. for legumes and soy. I won't re-introduce soy but after 2 yrs. I did try chickpeas and was ok but I am strict with the rotation of them. Potatoes were just waiting to happen. I depended on them too much, plus the starch in baked goods...and I have not been as careful with their rotation as I should have been. I've just struggled...

    I think I lost potatoes today bound to happen Good thing I get my endo and colonoscopy next week. Anyway, I need another food to rotate in. I am thinking of trying another variety of beans. Chickpeas are already in but I can't decide which bean is up next and what to do with it. Chickpeas are so easy, just dump on a salad. What are some ideas on easy...

    It can be used in pilaf and in rice salads with some dried fruits or fall fruits-cranberries. I need easy meals so I take cooked brown rice and freeze it in portions. Then, I also take kale and cook it like this Open Original Shared Link and freeze that too. I also freeze leftover roasted carrots and parsnips that have been cut small dice after roasting...

    I KNOW! I totally hear ya! I have run into the SAME things that have been shared on this thread with my family and docs. My mom's doc said he'd put her on a gluten-free diet the next time she had uncontrollable Diareah. Actually he won't even do that. He said once he "didn't want to do that to her" meaning put her on a gluten-free diet. Oh, OK so you just...
