    Yikes, that's bold! How do you prepare it? Do you just put the crumbles on the toast or what? I love blue cheese dressing and consider it safe to eat, assuming wheat is not listed in the ingredients. But, I never thought of it as something outside of a salad. Interesting. best regards, lm

    This is not a comment on your situation. But, for Celiac Disease, all regular bread is wheat bread. There are just more whole grains in "wheat" bread. Not more gluten per se. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, there is no difference between the two. White bread and wheat bread are basically the same, gluten wise. Now for allergies it might be...

    I suspect the most important elements of Udi's formulation are in the following ingredients: "Cultured Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid (Ascorbic Acid, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Corn Starch), Enzymes" This is what we are overlooking and aren't likely to easily duplicate. They are the smallest by weight, yet perhaps what makes Udi's better. They are dough conditioners...

    After seeing some homeopathic products at the health food store last year, I read up on it. I googled it and found lots of interesting info on it's history. I can see how this might have sounded like a good idea in the late 1700's when medical science was not understood. But I'm sorry folks, we now know better. Here's my take. Basically, you find herbs...

    Based on the medical articles on this site and others I have read since being diagnosed over three years ago, no. One would have to transfer the wheat product into their mouths and ingest it. I handle bakery goods often and have never had a reaction. I transport large amounts of bakery goods in my personal vehicle. The aroma of bread is very strong. I...

    With all due respect, why should anyone be worried about dryer sheets? They are not eaten or ingested, so I don't see how they could be a problem. Please enlighten me. best regards, lm

    I just met some friends of my parents. This couple has 4 boys. One was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (via endoscopy) when he was just 6 years old. He is now 28, healthy, and married. For some reason that information just really blew my mind. I've only gone through this for 3 years now. I have had all the advantages of current medical knowledge and advances...

    Thank you Lisa. best regards, lm

    I noticed yesterday that my very long list of personal interests are showing up under my avatar in my posts. What's up with that? best regards, lm

    I used to eat Rice Chex every morning (successfully gluten-free), but since they made Corn Chex gluten-free, I now eat it every morning. I like it better, it's crispier, and have never had a problem with it. For some strange reason, I suspect Honey Nut Chex may not sit well with my stomach. I don't suspect a gluten issue, it's something else. They are...

    I may have jinxed myself with the miracle talk. Bought my second loaf of white yesterday. Sprouts instead of Whole Foods, and it was frozen. I noticed it was a normal loaf shape, albiet very small and very short. When it thawed out, I found it to be somewhat hard, dry, and not near as tasty as my first loaf. It was very (I hate to even say it) gluten...

    It's a big world out there. Where is this Rosa's? best regards, lm

    Amen sister. Tonight I made sugar toast. best regards, lm

    An update on my Udi's white loaf (what's left of it). I bought it Saturday morning. It was not frozen. I don't know how old it was when I got it, or if it had been frozen before. Today at lunch I had a slice right out of the bag, with butter on it. It was just as delicsious as it was 3 days ago. I tell you it's a gluten-free miracle! best regards, lm

    I would suggest Corn Chex with a little agave nectar on it. It's very crunchy, a good crunch too. I eat it every morning. Sometimes with blueberries instead of agave nectar. best regards, lm

    Fully acknowledging there are individuals who have a myriad of health ailments, intolerances, extreme insensitivities, etc., which is very unfortunate, I would still like to balance this post with the info that there are Celiacs that have no problems with Frito Lay products that do not contain wheat. That is, those where there are no wheat ingredients listed...

    I did something today I haven't done in over three years. I went to the store (Whole Foods), bought a loaf of bread (not frozen), came home, took two slices out, spead some Hellmans on each piece, spooned on some tuna salad, sat down and had a regular, normal, deliscious sandwich. Soft, moist, good tasting real bread. It is a small, very irregularly...

    A few comments. I grew up in Dallas, Texas from Southern parents. We always ate biscuits with butter and jelly, jam, syrup, honey, or molasses. Biscuits and white gravy (milk, flour & grease drippings, usually sausage), sometimes with sausage bits in it, are huge down here. My take on Southern, or buttermilk biscuits (same thing basically...

    I've eaten several boxes of these uneventfully. They are very tasty. I consider them to be a somewhat lighter alternative to a Snickers type candy bar. They are sweet and somewhat messy (crumbly). best regards, lm

    ARCHIVED Egg Foam

    larry mac replied to kenlove's topic in Publications & Publicity

    Very interesting. Couple years ago I tried to convert a friendship starter (which is just a sweeter sourdough starter) someone gave me into a gluten-free starter. I simply replaced some volume with my gluten-free blend similarly as one would if using it to make bread. I didn't actually make any bread however. The starter did not seem to thrive or...

    Hey IDB, "Gluten-free all purpose flour" is a pretty broad term. What's your recipe? Thanks. best regards, lm

    Hate to be a kiljoy, but I'm not a fan of this look/color scheme. Not at all. Do not like the white, blue, and green combination as it is now. Please, please, please try to recreate the old forum look, request suggestions from forum members for ideas to improve this skin, or provide a choice of skins. Thanks. best regards, lm

    I agree. That's the way I like them however. Light and crispy. I also put lots of pecans in them. I've really got to hand it to Betty Crocker. They did a great job of giving us a super quality product. I made quite a few batches of gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from scratch last year. It can be tricky. My first batch was one huge cookie. My gluten...

    I think it's been at least a year now. Maybe I should give it another shot. best regards, lm
