    That recipe I gave didn't work out badly at all. I used 1/3 cup each of short-grain brown rice, millet, and quinoa, and added hemp milk, dried cranberries, cashews, maple syrup and vanilla for the last bit of cooking. I don't think the nuts added anything. I did turn out a little soupy for my tastes so I think I will experiment cutting back on the liquid...

    Same here I have a recipe, but I've yet to try it. It calls for 1 cup of grain to 4 cups of water, with 1/2 tsp salt. This is cooked on low overnight. Then you can add 1/2 cup dried fruit, 1/2 cup nondairy milk and any optional ingredients that catch your fancy (1/4 cup seeds or chopped nuts, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 Tbsp maple syrup...

    When I hear stories like this, I'm not sure what to think. I don't know if people become more sensitive over time, start reacting to something new, or just get a cross-contaminated batch sometimes. Something similar has happened with me and Nutty Flax. I was eating it more and having symptoms I couldn't trace to anything. Then I rediscovered a thread...

    Did you try going without the cereal? If so, what was your experience? I got feeling really well off the cereal. I tried it again a three days ago -- yesterday and the day before I was dreadfully brainfogged and suddenly constipated. I wonder if the particular batch from my last box was CCed with gluten or soy? I eat Bob's Red Mill hot cereal...

    ARCHIVED What Is Cc

    hathor replied to k-kitkat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    CC can also happen during the processing of food. Unfortunately, short of dedicated gluten-free facilities, you won't know if this is a problem for any particular food or not. And of course, any ingredients used in such facilities would have to come from gluten-free facilities themselves. The CC of oats starts in the fields themselves.

    There are other soyfree, dairyfree, glutenfree chocolate bars out there. Such as: Green & Black -- Dark 85% Dagoba -- Conacado Art Bar -- Dark; Dark with Coconut Sweet Earth -- many products Rapunzel -- Semisweet varieties I've purchased bars at Trader Joe's too. I can't remember precisely, but I think it was a house brand. I know...

    What I would suggest is to go on an elimination diet. If you eat only the few, rarely a problem foods for a couple weeks and still have problems, this would indicate it isn't an allergy or intolerance. If you get feeling better, then you would know it is some thing or things you've been ingesting and you just ( ) have to slowly figure out what. How...

    The labeling law requires that wheat be clearly identified, either in the list of ingredients or in a "contains" statement. This is not required for barley, rye, or oats. So if any of the latter are in colors, flavors, etc., they don't have to be listed as such. Unless you know you are dealing with a company that will disclose gluten ingredients, any ...

    5'2" -- and married to someone a full foot taller. His whole family is tall, which made for some strange wedding pictures. It took him years to realize why I rarely clean the top of the refrigerator. If he bothers him, I say, he can clean it. I don't see it I guess it could be worse. My high school debate partner was 6'9"

    Here's a website that should be useful: Open Original Shared Link If you search, you can find threads where the UK is discussed. But I don't know that any of the information goes beyond what you can find on the above site. The daughter of someone on a different forum just came back from England and reportedly had no difficulty at all finding gluten...

    I follow the same rule of thumb as j_mommy. More than anything, I keep track of how I feel. If a particular product is associated with symptoms (a food/symptom diary is essential here), I don't eat it. Be sure to realize that those warning statements are voluntary. Items that mention nothing about shared equipment or facilities COULD have them. So...

    You can go with legumes, nongluten grains, fruit, nuts & seeds, right? According to one list I've seen, the veggies least likely to be the source of a food intolerance (when cooked) are: beets beet greens chard summer squash artichokes celery string beans asparagus spinach lettuce sweet potatoes winter squash Do these veggies...

    I third the idea of cutting out dairy and seeing the result. If I have any dairy (back before I knew I was casein-intolerant) and if my 21 and 22 year old children have any, breakouts ensue. Do you "stay away" from soy completely? The slightest bit gets my skin. The last time I had an unexplained breakout I checked with the manufacturer of a supplement...

    Ooops, I missed the "teenagers only" part. I usually look at the titles of new posts instead of looking at particular boards. I can see how Babylon 5 would make no sense in the middle. There is quite a bit of back story. Just knowing who all these people (and assorted aliens) are, how the races have dealt with each other in the past, personal histories...

    The best restaurant I ate at was one we just happened across. You know how they have those little cards for restaurants in hotel lobbies? I saw an Ethiopian one and figured that, like every other Eth. restaurant I call, it will have wheat in the injera. But this one didn't! It has been the first time I've been able to eat at an Eth. restaurant for...

    I know how you all feel. It was kind of nice last weekend to be visiting with relatives with two children with allergies. They actually GOT it. My nephew's wife was forwarding recipes for me to check out, listing ingredients of products she wanted to use, and the like. I'm a Stargate SG-1 fan too. I don't seem to watch Atlantis as much. I think...

    Don't eat any dandelions from your yard unless you don't use any toxic chemicals on your lawn. My understanding is that this stuff gets absorbed into plants; you can't wash it off. Every time I see a dandelion recipe (usually for the greens) there is always this same warning ...

    If you search this forum, you will find information about London. My understanding is that finding gluten-free there is much easier than here. I don't have time to search for it right now since I'm leaving shortly to go out of town. If you can't find this information, I'll look for it when I get back. I've done some research myself because I'm going...

    I made a pumpkin pasta recipe (we're vegetarians) using Tinkyada. One has to cook it first, then bake with the assorted ingredients. I managed not to have the pasta be mushy when initially cooked (something I find it harder to do with Tinkyada than some other pastas -- I like pasta more al dente than lots of you guys I guess ), but it was a pretty nasty...

    Sorry to hear that. The pictures look good anyway I guess I don't need pie. I only ate it very infrequently before my gluten problems made themselves known and then I always bought. I don't know that it is worth it to learn how to make a decent pie. Sigh.

    I can only see three reasons for a formal diagnosis -- you are in a country where you get compensation being an official celiac, you need an accommodation from an institution or company that you won't get without an official diagnosis, or you won't stick with the diet (or will take a lot of flak for doing so) without one. Maybe there are others, but they...

    About salad dressings -- I am low fat too so that limits me. My favorite FF balsamic vinagrette had soy sauce in it and others have seemed kinda strangely flavored. Perhaps chemical-y things now taste that way to me? Anyway, mostly I pick different flavored vinegars and sprinkle a little on. I have quite a collection at this point. Now if I get an oil...

    How interesting. Have you heard of this being available anywhere other than Finland? How common is it in Finland, do you know? I ask because I remember seeing a study recently that the reported incidence of celiac in that country has increased in recent years and no one seems to know why ...

    I don't find it that hard, except at restaurants. But I manage to find ways to eat out. At home, I just use a different type of milk (rice, almond, hemp). I avoid any number of things, but I have more recipes than I can conceivably try. The foods I can eat far outweigh the foods I can't, or don't want to. It probably isn't the soy lecithin, since most...

    For what it is worth, this list says that Celestial Teas are safe: Open Original Shared Link According to this listing, the Tazo Teas that have gluten are: Green Ginger filterbags, Tazo Honeybush filterbags, Lemon Ginger bottled tea, Tea Lemonade bottled tea. Naturally, it was the Green Ginger and the Honeybush I was consuming quite a bit Also...
