  1. It is very difficult to find gluten free nuts and I appreciate your mentioning it so we can try to share ideas. I was using Kirkland Brazil nuts until late last year and they did say gluten free on the package. Unfortunately, they are no longer available at Costco. I've since been trying to buy the Elan Brazil nuts as they state they are gluten free. ...
  2. I've been very worried about my liver as well. Been off gluten for two years and the last 6 months the blood tests with markers for my liver have been getting worse. I read that if you're not eating enough, it can stress the liver. As to what to eat, I'm also a picky eater and like bland, plain foods. I make everything from scratch and don't use processed...
  3. I know it's after the holidays, but it would still be fun to do a cookie recipe exchange on this forum.
  4. I was just looking through them. Look forward to trying some new cookies but I'd also like to find ways to rework old favorite recipes.
  5. I still haven't found a particular gluten free all purpose flour replacement I like. However, I am getting a little closer to narrowing down what gluten-free flours to use to replace wheat in my cookie recipes. I seem to detect unpleasant aftertastes a lot from gluten free flours like sorghum or from certain gluten-free flour blends. I am very curious...
  6. This is very similar to the recipe I use: https://familynutritionprogram.org/black-bean-brownies-recipe/ I've made it with olive oil for the oil and dried fruit (such as dates) and honey for the sweetener. This is one of my favorite gluten free dessert recipes so far. It tastes like a normal dessert with no strong aftertaste. I've also made chocolate...
  7. I've been using the Open Food Facts app ( https://world.openfoodfacts.org/ ). There's also a database. It's a volunteer project, so anyone can volunteer to correct information in the database that's wrong. For instance, I just put in a report that a product with tigernut flour should not be automatically triggering a nut warning since tigernut is a tuber...
  8. I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins. Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
  9. Thank you for mentioning that. My main reaction to gluten seems to be related to the skin and breaking out. So, I'll definitely take that under consideration when trying to figure out how to better supplement calcium. I'm trying to use lower oxalate and lower histamine greens like broccoli, baby bok choi, collards and Lacinto kale. Recently, I've been...
  10. I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...
  11. Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...
  12. With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat? I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables. Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out. I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control...
  13. When they give you a blood test, there's a range they consider low to high from the results. It's not based on how much vitamin you're taking. My blood tests were low and then I took 5000 IU and they went too high on the blood test. I also get exposed to D from the sun and I live in a very sunny area and I get D in some foods I eat. I was very annoyed...
  14. This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free. I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes...
  15. I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable. I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans. Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour. Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas...
