  1. Hi Glutenfreefamily, here's another post from another forum adding to the information covered in the original issue. .

  6. Hi Barbara, I don't know about your side, but here in Ireland people drink beer shandies! ! . The glass is filled to within an inch of the top with beer and then the 'soda pop' is added, if it is the same over there it could be CC. .

  7. . . Thanks for the recipe link, it's much apreciated, I have made a type of bagel before. It was crusnchy outside and chewy doughy inside like a real bagel should be, but the appearance was all wrong. .

  8. Hi All, I have bought some 'Glutino' Sans Gluten bagels here in Dublin Ireland from a cafe called Itsa Bagel. . These are imported directly from Canada frozen and cost about $7.50 for 5. .

  9. . Heck! we all have our moments when something that we see or hear starts a 'titter'. I just sent an E-mail a short time ago and was mentioning my brother-in-law, and added In-laws, Out-laws, John Wayne whatever, I had just slipped into ' Funny half-Hour'. . If you can smile and laugh at the 'ridiculous and the sublime' it helps! Don't take life...
  10. . Hi 'celiac-mommy', I believe that there are people who have a wheat intolerance, but are comfortable eating 'rye', 'spelt' etc, (don't you just hate them /uploads/emoticons/default_mad.gif' alt=':angry:'> ). 'Only Joking' . David
  11. . Hi 'CeliacInSanDiego', Granulated sugar in the Blender is the way to go, the longer you 'whizz it' the finer it gets. . Best Regards, David

Hi 'CeliacInSanDiego', Why not make your own gluten-free 'Baking Powder' Added corn flour is only to stop 'Clumping' (keep it free flowing and dry) . 1 Parts Baking Soda 2 Part Cream of Tartar 1 Part Tapioca starch (optional) . Keep in an air-tight jar, use as required. . Best Regards, David
  13. . Hi 'CeliacInSanDiego', Yes you are correct this book uses ground almonds as a direct flour replacement, I have this book it was a present from my son when I was diagnosed. . I tried quite a few recipes from the book, which I found excellent, but it tended to be very costly using ground almonds (almond meal). . I taught myself to bake and now I devise...
  14. . Hi, A book you might consider is 'Totally Flour Free Baking' by Dinah Alison. . Taken from the inside cover of her book. . Dinah Alison catered for her gluten and lactose intolerant daughter for years before an allergic reaction meant that she couldn't eat any grain or starch. . Unable to find any completely flour free recipes for breads and cake...
  15. Hi All, A lot of people on this forum have stated time and again, that if the are shopping for groceries and come across a product whose ingredients don't show 'ANY' Allergens but have that dreaded statement 'Manufactured in a facility..............' they will not buy that product!! . Here's my question? How many of those same people buy their...

  18. Hi Paula, Hope you have a wonderful day. . Here are two versions of the Legend of St. Valentine, I personally prefer the second version. .

  22. Hi 'Virgie', You can't be too careful when it comes to maintaining your health and never apologise for being extra careful and vigilant. I would like you to read about the criteria set down by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland on avoiding cross-contamination. When you see what's involved in the monitoring at all levels to guarantee an end...
  23. Hi 'confusedks', Apologies, I stand corrected. I checked back to packaging from 1997 for Rice Dream in the USA You are quite correct it did say could contain minute traces of gluten from barley. . On early european packaging it said barley enzyme was used in the processing! . Confusion over, Most Coeliac/Celiac Agencies worldwide say it is unwise...

If you follow this link and read the Caution it says not to be used for Infants because it may contain traces of Barley protien . Open Original Shared Link . However this link just says 'Not to be used for infants' but doesn't elaborate I wonder why? . Open...
  25. Hi 'Laura Wass', The standard of 20ppm is applied to all Gluten Free products including Naturally Gluten free flours like Rice, Tapioca, Corn etc. ELISA testing has a lower limit of 20ppm, BUT it is possible that a lot of flours or products have in actual fact 'Zero' ppm but this can't be claimed because there is no testing that is that accurate. A base...
