    This was also happening to me. The doughy bread issue was because there was too much liquid in the dough. I use the gluten free flax bread recipe, but instead of using 1 cup milk, I use 2/3 cup and I still end up adding extra flour while mixing until the dough forms a ball. This usually takes 2-4 TBSP more flour. I need to try the yeast idea myself.

    I've used gluten-free doughs that have been in the refrigerator for a couple days. It was perfectly good. Don't worry about it.

    I use Jhonsonville sausage. All of their flavors are gluten free except those with beer in the name.

    I use my flour mix ( 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup tapioca flour, 1 cup rice flour and 1 TBSP potato flour) and I also like to add in some gluten free cornmeal if I have it. It turns out great.

    This will be my first time making gluten free stuffing, and I read that gluten free dressing cooked outside of the bird has a tendency to get dry. In my local newspaper they had a recipe for gluten free stuffing and they added one egg to the broth (1 egg/1 cup broth) to make the stuffing more moist and to improve the texture. Just though I'd throw it out...

    Lactose is sugar and casein is protein. They should list casein if it is present.

    I buy the Lactaid brand for my son. They are made by the Tylenol company. They do not test the pills for gluten, but they track outside ingredients and there is no gluten-containing ingredients in Lactaid. This is the same principle why when Tylenol sends you their gluten free list only some products are on there. For example, Tylenol grape, Tylenol cold...

    If you have three drinks I really wouldn't worry about it, but if you're not comfortable breastfeeding after drinking dump your milk while drinking and four hours or so after you stop. The peak amount of alcohol is in your milk four hours after drinking. Go out and have a GREAT time!

    It was Century 16, a Cinemark theater. I called Cinemark and the best I could do would leave a message. I could not even talk to a live person. They promise to call you back in an hour, which obviously did not happen. Then I decided to call the theater directly and the message stated to go online for theater times, then hangs up! This process took up...

    So, I plan on taking my son to see his first movie in a theater and I would like to know if the popcorn is gluten free. I called the cinema that owns the theater we are going to and I did not get a call back! (Don't you love that.) Thanks!

    First of all, celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. My son tested positive for tTG (which indicates celiac disease), but tested negative for a wheat allergy. Your daughters are very young. Testing for celiac disease is not reliable until they are AT LEAST 24 months old. If you want an official diagnosis, if they are old enough...

    Every can of condensed cream of mushroom soup that I know of contains gluten. I am also pretty sure that French's fried onions also contain gluten. Progresso and Health Valley cream of mushroom soups are gluten free. Since they are not condensed, you might want to thicken them with cornstarch and water. Some people use Funions (sp?) instead of the French...

    Gluten should be introduced between 4-6 months. Some studies suggest that if you introduce gluten too early or too late it will increase the child's likelihood of developing celiac disease. Blood tests are not supposed to be reliable until children are at least 24 months old.

    I have the same problem! We live near the BRM store and right after my son was diagnosed my mom bought me a 25 pound bag of the BRM gluten free flour mix and some other mixes. The bread, brownie, biscuit mix, cookie mix, pancake mix and flour mix are horrible. The only mix that is tolerable is the cornbread mix. I REALLY dislike garbanzo and soy flours...

    Congratulations!!!

    We eat that kind of food, but we also learn from our experiences. Some manufacturers seem to have a higher CC risk, so after a couple of bad experiences we avoid them, like Frito-Lay.

    Well I'm not sure what exactly her book calls for, but I will list the staples in my house. I have a few books and they are all about the same. I use corn starch, potato starch, and tapioca starch/flour. I use both white and brown rice flour. You should also get a bean flour. There are many to choose from and they seem interchangeable in recipes. I...

    Here's the filling recipe I use. I love it. It's mellow and so creamy. I think it may be a little more work than other recipes, but I think it's well worth it. Pumpkin Pie Filling: 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin 1/2 cup brown sugar 2/3 cup heavy cream 7 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 6 1/2 tablespoons evaporated milk 1/4 teaspoon vanilla...

    I love Christmas too, especially now that I have a child. I love the preparation. I go all out. I usually make a large variety of pies, cookies and candy. I also LOVE black Friday shopping. In fact I was browsing black Friday websites a couple minutes ago. I like to get most of my shopping done that day. I usually start shopping at 5:00am.

    I don't understand why no company makes gluten free cheese crackers...or fruit loops! Those are two things my son misses very much. I tried to make cheese crackers, but I didn't roll the dough thin enough, so they were not crisp.

    A couple Uncle Ben's rices are gluten free. You should call them and they'll give you a list. I buy Lundberg risotto for busy nights. It comes in a box with seasoning. glutenfreeda.com has lots of rice recipes. Walmart brand scalloped and au gratin potatoes say gluten free on the box. If you can tolerate dairy products, but not plain milk, maybe you...

    I second the gluten free pantry pie crust mix. It's great and each mix is big enough for two double crust pies. Most pumpkin filling recipes should be gluten free. Just make sure you read all labels.

    Ore-Ida has a gluten free list, and many fries are gluten free. If you deep fry them, the extra crispy fast food fries by Ora-Ida should come close to the real thing. (You should research McDonald's for yourself. Their fries contain wheat, but when they test they come up as gluten free. Some people eat them, some do not. It's a personal choice....

    Yes, you should use xanthan gum when you bake, 1 tsp for each cup or 1.5 cups of flour. Are you using a flour mix? This happens to me too, and I fix it by adding more flour. I usually end up adding .5-1 cup more flour than the recipe calls for. Add flour until the dough is thick. Test the amount needed by baking a couple cookies at a time until you get...

    Thanks. I was especially curious about turkey.
