    Graham flour does contain gluten. It is on the unsafe ingredient list from this site. The link is below. https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-28107585215.fc

    Bi-Aglut (sp?) pasta is really good. Many people say that it behaves like the real thing. For pizza crusts we like the Kinnikinnick crusts. I usually let them thaw for about 10-15 minutes and then place them in the oven for a few minutes on a pan rubbed with a bit of olive oil. Then I remove the crust, add my toppings and bake for a couple more minutes...

    Try refrigerating the dough before you roll it. Pie crust dough should be as cold as possible to ensure a flaky crust and to prevent shrinkage as it cooks. I would still roll out between parchment paper or plastic wrap while cold. I have not tries gluten free pie crusts yet...I'm kind of scared. I have to practice my technique before Thanksgiving, so...

    Are you sure that it does not expire 7/2015? Just kidding, but that stuff does stay good for a long time. My son would not eat any of the breads that I bought, even Angeline's. I finally started making my own successfully. I make bread every Sunday, since I think it's much better when fresh. I think that most people will agree that the following...

    You will have to use a mix. I have tried two different mixes and I'm not sure which one I like better. Either way, you'll want to use about 1 tsp xanthan gum for each 1.5 cups flour. I like to mix up a lot at once and keep it in a gallon container. It saves a lot of time. First mix: 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca...

    I use the Kinnikinnick crumbs and/or make a nut crust. Both are delicious.

    My son doesn't react to them. He loves the cheddar flavor also. They are made in a shared facility, and so some people will not eat them.

    Thank you. These cookies sound good, especially since I have a new found love for pavlova! I will definitely try them.

    I was wondering if people could please share their experiences with millet flour? Is it a good flour that can be used in many dishes? Does it have a lot of flavor or is it mellow tasting? Does it alter the consistency of the dish? I'm trying to get away from using rice flour because it offers very little nutrition. I have already discovered amaranth...

    I would keep your daughter on gluten until her biopsy. I would also have your son tested as well. I have seen his condition mentioned on this page numerous times. I agree that you should DEMAND that they take lots of samples during the biopsy. Diagnosis of celiac disease is not always clear cut, although many ignorant doctors believe it is. The golden...

    Butterball lunch meat, when owned by CONAGRA, contained flavors with gluten containing broth. I try to stick with good brands, like Oscar Myer, Hormel, etc.

    As I mentioned above, when I called them I got a call back from someone who sounded very knowledgeable. She said that the only gluten chip made in their facility is the cheddar beer flavor. Although that chip is made with beer, it tests negative when ELISA tested for gluten. Theoretically, that chip should test positive, but it does not. I consider their...

    I don't know of any soy milk that tastes like cow milk, but my son loves Silk very vanilla. It's supposed to be specially fortified for children. My son did not even mind the transition. If all else fails you can try mixing the two for a while and gradually adding more soy milk.

    I'm sorry you and your family have been having a bad time. It's so hard to not be able to give your kids food. All you can do is try your best. It sounds like you have done a good job of being prepared, but sometimes there are just going to be hurt feelings. Maybe freeze the cupcake and let your daughter help frost and decorate it the morning of the...

    Fantastic letter!

    I don't think that it's very easy to convert gluten breads to gluten free, unless maybe it's something like cornbread. I too use the gluten free flax bread on the recipezaar site. I could never get bread to turn out right until I got a bread machine. The bread would always not rise enough and then sink in on the sides. I had to send my son to daycare...

    Congratulations! You must be doing a great job with your diet.

    I'm sorry that I don't have anything more intelligent to say, but I would not do the gluten challenge. The does not sound like she is medically stable enough. Also, she's 13 and IMHO she's old enough to make that decision for herself. She's the one who has to live the life style and also the one who would have to endure the challenge first hand.

    Happy Birthday!

    I'm sitting here reading this thread while eating M&Ms. I have not been tested for celiac disease yet, but I suspect that I likely have it. I have many of the non "classical" symptoms, and my son had to have gotten celiac disease from somewhere. After the birth of my son I totally became addicted to sugar. I am not over weight, but since my son's...

    I spoke to someone with Kettle chips and they said that the only flavor that is NOT gluten free is the cheddar beer flavor. It is the only gluten chip in their facility and it, for reasons unknown, does not even test positive for gluten when they batch test. I consider Kettle chips much safer than Lays, except for maybe the Stax. I like to give my son...

    Today it's only about 70 in Portland Oregon. I hope you guys get some relief from the heat soon.

    Crayola addresses this issue under their FAQ section. The only crayola product that is not gluten free is their play dough. All of their clays are gluten free. There are plenty of gluten free play dough recipes online if you want to make your own.

    My opinion is that it is better to be safe than sorry. If you have an option of buying a perfectly good gluten free lotion over one with gluten, then why not buy the gluten-free lotion?! If my son has a gluten reaction I want there to be as few variables as possible when I try to find the gluten culprit. As his mother, I use gluten free products because...

    I make this sweet and sour chicken recipe. It's really good, but I only use a 1/2 cup of cider vinegar, decrease the sugar, and increase the pineapple juice.
