    <br /><br /><br /> Have you tried the internet? Bob's Red Mill could probably help you locate where it is sold near you or you could order some by mail. Another great internet site for locating gluten-free products is the gluten free mall, located here from this site. Otherwise, I know there are lots of ingredients on labels that...

    Our family has lots and lots of gluten-free recipes, but we love to make cut out cookies with the kids most of all.....also helps the kids (and us big kids) feel we are not missing out on anything.....of course we always say "all we are missing out on is a stomach ache!) gluten-free Cut Out Sugar Cookies 1 1/2 cups Potatoe Starch Flour 2/3 cup Corn...

    yes I am nearly 50yrs old and only started getting the rash at all in the last couple of years...and wouldn't you know, it is on my bumb at the crack. I don't have any kind of herpes or anything at all, and at first I thought I had touched some poison oak or ivy while peeing in the woods....but then it returned a couple more times, and I realized maybe...

    <br /><br /><br /> My grown daughter had rashes as a baby, but we didn't know that myself, she, my mother, and my older daughter all had celiac disease until she was about 8 or 9 years old. She had a rash pretty badly too, and all those years no doctor ever once suggested she could have celiac disease. I also had Rosacea on my face and...

    The doctor my daughter used for both my grand kids doesn't take any chances. He tells her to keep them away from gluten and then when they are at least one year old you can try it if you want, but he says it doesn't hurt anything to just keep them off it anyway. Now my oldest grandaughter is 5 and youngest is 2. No tests have ever had to be run because...

    Also, from what I've seen, many people with allergies often stop being allergic after a few years of staying completely away from the gluten. Remember celiac disease is not an allergy, but it effects the immune system so severely that it can bring on any health issues that that person has a tendency toward. To me, it stands to reason that if you clear up...

    I am no expert, but have raised my own daughters, and 4 foster teens, and was raised in a home that took literally hundreds of kids in foster care..... First, let him or her know that if they keep eating gluten the results won't be pretty. They will soon develop uncontrolable gas (this means farting in public, around peers), and soon the gas will seem...

    <br /><br /><br /> Yes! These are great cookies My family has been using this recipe for many years I do housekeeping in other people's homes, and once in a while I bake up a batch in someone elses kitchen, and they always love them....it is easy to remember the recipe because it is so simple ......you can just make up a batch anywhere...

    I have news from a good source that a new gluten-free Bakery is going into Corvallis! Soon we all hope!

    gluten-free Cut Out Sugar Cookies (all these various starch flours are sometimes called starch and sometimes called flour, but they all seem to be the same thing, just as with all ground things, some are finer than others, you have to experiment a bit) 1 1/2 cups Potatoe Starch Flour 2/3 cup Corn Starch 2/3 cup Tapioca Starch Flour 2 tsp Baking...

    My 76 year old Celiac mother lives in LaGrande Oregon and has a very hard time finding resources. Anyone out there who could help? and she does not own a computer, but LaGrande is only about 25k so it shouldn't be too difficult to find each other.

    Hi, I replied but am new at this forum business, so not sure if you get it the way I did it....so doing both ways..... I am in Albany Oregon, would love to get to know some other people gluten-free here.
  13. Granny Garbonzo
    I live in Albany! Would be nice to go to dinner with someone in my area....maybe start a little social group of gluten free people..... I'm almost 50yrs and been gluten-free for nearly 20yrs, much family gluten-free too Two grand girls 2 and 5 gluten free, would like to swap a tiny bit of babysitting in a gluten free home....I do housekeeping for a living...

    When the language barrier is there, I've started going inside and asking other customers if they can interpret for me. It works much of the time. And I've found that many of the people waiting on you speak better english than I do, but it is convenient to act as theough they are not able to understand. And some just like to play with us who are not multi...

    You wouldn't believe how many times I've said "I can't eat wheat" and the waiter/waitress says "Oh that's ok, we don't have wheat bread, we have white bread." Even what is obvious to most of us has sometimes never occurred to others.

    I live in Albany Oregon, work at my own little me-only housekeeping biz with most my jobs in Corvallis area, and my daughter with my two grand girls 2 and 5yrs (all celiac disease) live in Philomath. I've been celiac disease for nearly 20 years, my daughter too, and my grand girls have never known anything else. My daughter and the girls have had good doctors...

    I'm in Albany Oregon, and would like to eat and shop in Portland now and then, but don't know my way around and am nervous in the traffic....not a nervous type person normally, but come from La Grande Oregon most my life and just learned to be a slow country hick driver. I am almost 50 years and would like to contact the celiac disease group in portland...

    Flax comes in all sorts of forms, normally as a flax seed oil, as a meal, or as the whole seed. If a recipe says to reduce the oil, it is probably referring to the oil form. Bob's Red Mill products are usually easy to find in a Fred Meyer store or most Rays or Roths and sometimes even in Albertsons or Safeway or IGA or other regular grocery stores,...

    Ok, I made the infamous bread by laura, and it was good, but, the recipe I got with my bread machine is just as good, in my and my family's opinion, and it is done in just 1 hour! I have a Betty Crocker Bake-it-easy Breadmaker. This is the recipe it gives: Glutten -Free White Bread 2 cups white rice flour (I use the finest textured I can find...

    Help! The original recipe evidently expired off the visible posts. Can someone put it in here again, I got the flour discussion and measures, but nothing about the yeast or wet ingredients or instructions. Iwant to bake with my grand girls tomorrow and this bread sounds lovely to make. I'm going to try the toll house cookie recipe too! Wow, what a find...

    Some medical communities just seem reluctant to diagnose celiac disease....tests are not a good way to find out if you have it, they can be interpreted wrong easily. The best thing to do is simply stay away from all gluten for at least three months and see if you feel better. The medical community wants to make money. Other than endless tests, they can...

    Every tomato based item seems to have tomato paste in it as an ingredient. Be nice if they told us what they use to thicken the paste...but they usually don't. I'd like to find out which do and don't so I can at least make my own tomato based stuff using tomato paste.
  23. Granny Garbonzo
    Thank you....it's comforting somehow to know I'm not having some freak rash I should get paranoid about. I've always been a very easy-going person who doesn't make a big deal out of things, and this has been my approach to avoiding gluten also, but as I age (turning 50 in April) and have been away from gluten longer (since I was about 32) it seems like I...

    Since my grown daughter and others I know with celiac disease get rashes in different places on their bodies, I'm guessing mine has decided to show up on my bottom. I have been checked for everything else I can come up with. Does anyone know if a rash on the bottom can be from skin irritations associated with celiac disease?
