    I would acquire another package, perhaps another brand of tapioka starch flour and taste it. If the taste doesn't agree with you, I would try using a combination of potato starch, corn starch, and arrowroot starch. I use a combination of white rice flour, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, bean flour, tapioka starch, potato starch, and corn starch for all...

    Not everyone's cut out to work fast food. It's hot, fast paced and greasy. There's a lot of messy cleaning up, it's really hard work for low pay. Quite often, teenagers want to quit working there for a variety of teenage related reasons. Probably not the best place for Celiac workers anyway, what with all the sandwich buns, biscuits, english muffins, pancakes...

    I'm not giving advise as to what is safe or not safe. But for me personally, I just read the ingredients very carefully, and if it doesn't list wheat, barely, or rye, I try it. It doesn't have to say gluten-free, and I don't exclude products made in shared facilities or even shared lines. Oats are a known source of possible cross contamination. However...

    rd, I've had the cereals you mentioned and haven't had any reactions. Although the Health Valley Corn and Rice Crunch Em's come close to a pretty good cereal, all of the other gluten-free cereals I've tried pretty much sucked. Plus they're expensive. best regards, lm

    I haven't tried the La Choy Teriaki sauce. Doubt if I will since the La Choy Soy sauce was not to my liking. Before Celiac I considered Kikkomans to be the ultimate quality soy sauce, and La Choy to be the very lowest. The MSG wouldn't bother me (if indeed it has MSG in it), but the taste might, if it's anything like the soy sauce. I tried to check the ingredients...

    That's a very odd size package. Most cereals come in at least a 20 oz box unless it's those tiny little individual serving boxes. Plus, I agree with the others, it has malt in it. best regards, lm

    I throw everything but the kitchen sink in mine, but one thing I've noticed with many recipes is to make adjustments as needed to ensure that the batter is neither too thick nor too thin. I just don't think you can always blindly follow the recipes. best regards, lm

    Yes, I agree. Whatever starch one uses, start out with one or two big tsp per cup or

    What are Christmas nuts? best regards, lm

    I can't think of a more accurate description of Woodchucks Dark Amber than Angie's from her post above: "....imagine weak apple cider, mixed with weak white wine with kind of a beer-like sensation". I've also had the Hornsby's. Pretty much the same, they're both good. I have some Peacock's I haven't tried yet. best regards, lm

    Mine is wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, and egg free. But, it has Xylitol. Jarrow Formulas Methyl B-12 1000 mcg. www.jarrow.com best regards, lm

    neesee please don't cry, there's no crying on Celiac Forum . How can we have an argument (I mean a discussion) if somebody's crying? It just takes all the fun out of subtly insulting the other person for their obviously wrong viewpont (ha ha). Especially since it was your husband that got you into this mess in the first place! BTW, thanks for fighting...

    I'm looking at a box of Mac & Cheese Dinner "The Cheesiest" Original Flavor. And a can of Mac & Cheese Cheese Topping "The Cheesiest" Shake On popcorn. Your right Steph, it taste the same 'cause the ingredients are exactly identical ! I didn't realize that fact until your post, so thank you for mentioning it . I use it on popcorn all the time...

    Hi Deb, Your so right. Long ago I use to be a Pest Control Operator (that's the fancy name for Mr. Bug Man). Common rat poisons contain anticoagulants such as Warfarin in small enough concentrations that the victim doesn't immediately get sick, thus being tricked will continue feeding, eventually dying a painless death (or so they say). In olden...

    One of the most universal baking recommendations (gluten-free or not) is for all ingredients to be at room temp. I warm my eggs in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. I let my bread dough rise in a slightly warm oven. I also put a pan of very hot water on the bottom rack during this process. Yes, gluten-free bread tends to deflate, get a bit...

    May I suggest Eden Organic Tamari Soy Sauce, it's quite tasty! I've always been pretty particular about soy sauce, Kikkomans my brand (ex). The few unfortunate times I got cheap and tried something such as Kroger brand, I quickly returned it for a refund. Is the Edens gluten-free? I believe it is. Here's the ingredients: ~ water ~ organic soybeans...

    I love that word "unbeknownst"! How did you even know how to spell that? You must be a teacher or author (a very pretty one I might add). best regards, lm

    Agave nectar is quite delicious. Get it while you can. Mexico is currently experiencing an agave glut, but in 2-3 years there will be an agave shortage. Agave is a succulent, definitely not a cactus. The genus Agave belongs to the agave family of the flowering plant order Liliales. The blue agave normally takes from eight to twelve years to mature. Because...

    Vicky, Thank you for being so gracious. I wish I could write as eloquently as you. Often, my post replys are so poorly composed I end up opening a whole new can of worms instead of getting my point/opinion across. best regards, lm

    No offense taken at all. But in no way was I making the assumption that the chemicals were totally safe. I know that colas are not healthy. I was responding to a posters statement that fake syrups are "really bad for you". Poor comparison perhaps. I read all the links. Interesting stuff. Still, ain't no way I'm giving up my coke! best regards...

    I didn't bother with it and didn't have any problems. I personally think it's overkill except maybe if you happen to be extremely sensitive. Even then, it can't stay there forever. It's bound to get less and less as you cook in it and scrub it each time you use it. Then again, if I was "extremely nervous" about it, I'd throw it away and get a new one....

    ARCHIVED Corn Chips

    larry mac replied to hathor's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Where in the world would you get an idea like that? Corn is good. Corn is our friend. Sure there are a few people intolerant of it, just like any other food. But whole societies have subsisted primarily on corn. Look at Mexico, corn and beans have been staples for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Corn is one of the Celiacs very best friends. We can...

    I'm sure we had a recent discussion on syrups, but I can't find it. I'm curious where it says Aunt Jamima has gluten in it (officially). Their website lists all the ingredients and there is'nt any gluten. Or is it because they don't declare it gluten-free? I think Janet's idea of mixing corn syrup with real maple syrup may be worth considering for weaning...

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and mine is that's an exageration and overgeneralization. Coke, and most soft drinks are just water, corn syrup, and chemicals. Diet soft drinks are just water and chemicals. We drink a whole lot more soft drinks than we eat syrup. If they were "really bad for you", hundreds of millions of us would be dead or sick. I...
