    We also like to go to Dairy Queen. My son gets ice cream sundays or dilly bars. Here is some information I got from their website: DQ

    I use the featherlight mix for most things including dusting/dredging meat. The cornstarch in it makes it crispy. Featherlight mix: 1 cup white rice flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 cup tapioca starch/flour 1 TBSP potato flour (you can leave this out if you don't have it.) Mind sharing your sauce recipe? I love wings!

    We use the following recipe and LOVE it! The only change I make is to double the flours added to the recipe. 1. separate 4 eggs (yes, 4. I know it's a lot!) 2. set yolks aside 3. whip whites to stiff peaks, set aside 4. melt 4 TBSP "buttery stick" or similar 5. slowly whip melted "butter" into yolks 6. mix in 1 cup soy milk (or whatever...

    This subject bugs me. My son does fine on cows milk, but as a baby I am certain that he got gluten through my breast milk. As a baby he had three BMs a day that could clear a room! He also spit up milk constantly until I switched him to formula at 9 months. After that time his BMs were still bad because he was eating solid gluten foods. I have called...

    It frustrates me when people, including doctors, act like the only way to get diagnosed is to have a positive biopsy. More and more it's becoming widely accepted that positive Ttg tests, along with the celiac panel, and positive dietary response are acceptable means of diagnosis. In theory positive Ttg can be associated with other autoimmune disorders...

    Ttg IgG or IgA are very specific for celiac disease. They indicate an autoimmune disorder. They look for Ttg IgA because it specific to your GI tract, but IgG can also be involved as well. There are a small number of other diseases that can cause elevated Ttg, like acute liver failure, but the diseases should be pretty obvious if they are present. (I...

    I'm no longer a Hershey's customer due to their lack of consideration for people that cannot tolerate gluten, but their plain chocolate is gluten free--as long as it does not list natural flavors as an ingredient. I was recently told their plain chocolate bar, chocolate bar with almonds, chocolate chips, cocoa, and plain Hershey's kisses are gluten free...

    I buy from all my flours from Bob's Red Mill either in bulk from the bins or in 25 lb bags. We have never had a problem. Unlike most stores, BRM keeps their gluten-free flours together on their own wall and they never switch bins. I feel safe buying from bulk there. I go there all the time and have never seen any cc. I am curious if some people react...

    Your Welcome! It's really great, just make sure you bake without toppings for about 30 minutes and spread the dough as thin as possible. Let me know how it turns out if you try the recipe!

    I agree with Rachelle. Here's a link to a local GIG blog. On the right side there's links to gluten-free friendly restaurants. Open Original Shared Link

    After a year, I finally made a GREAT pizza last Friday!!!! I found this recipe on the Washington Post website of all places. Usually when I make pizza it's really doughy, but this crust was crisp and wonderful! I did change the way I cook it. I cooked it on parchment paper on the pizza pan for a few minutes then I slid off the crust directly onto the...

    This situation does admittedly make me nervous. I usually let the pan thing go, but I call ahead and get the menu plan so I know what to bring for my son. I CC seems very likely (for example pancakes, bacon and eggs at Christmas breakfast), then I will bring most if not all of my son's food. Otherwise I have things like chips set aside for him so there...

    I'm a big Sweet Baby Ray's fan, but if you cannot find it, you could always use Kraft. They disclose any gluten in their ingredients. Distilled vinegar is considered gluten free. Unless you have had problems with vinegar before, you might try products that contain vinegar. As for soy sauce, I use La Choy.

    My son gets red ears too! He got them more frequently before he went gluten free, but he still gets them occasionally. He always gets red ears as he is getting sick. I've had him tested for common allergies and he was negative. If he does have an allergy, I have no idea to what! Very interesting!

    I've had chicken marinating all day in Sweet baby Rays barbecue sauce...so It's barbecue chicken, baked potato, fresh green beans and corn bread. If only it would cook fast enough!

    Fruit by the foot is made by Betty Crocker, a General Mills company which will clearly disclose any gluten in the ingredients. All you have to do is read the label. My son has eaten them many times without problems.

    Safeway and Kroger/Fred Meyer brand condensed chicken and rice soups are gluten free. I also like to eat Chebe frozen bread sticks, Health Valley Crunch-ems and animal crackers. I hope you feel better.

    When I eat out with my son I try to order gluten free food as well, so I don't have to worry about it. It just seems much easier.

    Hmm...interesting. I thought all baking powder was the same. I use Clabber Girl, maybe I should try BRM.

    M&Ms are made by Mars, or Master Foods. I have spoke with them multiple times, the last time being a couple weeks ago and they said they will fully disclose any gluten in their ingredients.

    I forgot to add that for the gluten free flour I used 1 cup of featherlight mix and 1/2 cup of sorghum. I'll also experiment and try to use this as a white cake as well.

    R M Palmer makes gluten free peanutbutter eggs. They have a gluten free list on their website. Open Original Shared Link

    After nearly a year I've found "my" cake recipe! It's an easy recipe, and it tastes great. Best of all, it rises and does not fall as it cools!!! It also has a great texture. I thought I was stuck with dense flat top cakes forever. Open Original Shared Link

    I waited about a year before I gave my son BRM gluten-free oats, and he did fine. Anything BRM makes with the gluten-free symbol should not be cross contaminated. Maybe you should try waiting longer before you try them on oats again.
