    If you are a diagnosed celiac, he ABSOLUTELY should stay on the diet! I can't believe any physician would be foolish enough to say otherwise. Labs establish positive numbers for a reason. To feed him gluten would be to poison him. I have good friend whose family was tested after their diabetic son came up positive. She thought it would be her, but...

    I love this recipe, David! I wonder if the doughiness was because it wasn't rolled out enough? I roll it out even more than 12" because it makes a thin 'n' crispy type pizza. BTW, I use a small amount of oil instead of rice flour to roll it out. It is less floury and makes a nice crisp on it.

    Here's my next two results. Tried folding the whipped egg whites into slightly risen dough. It didn't rise much, but it tastes nice. I wouldn't count on it for sandwich bread. Second loaf--I dumped in all in the mixer. I used 2 t egg white powder and 1/2 c water. Wow! It really rose high--too high in fact. It collapsed when I took it out. But...

    Thanks for all the replies. He has been gluten-free for a while because our home is gluten-free. The acne started after he'd been gluten-free for over a year. His lips are really dry now. I bought him some Burt's Bees honey lip balm. I HATE lip stuff because it always seems that I can't go without it once I start. Maybe that's the addicting part....

    I buy dried egg whites in bulk from Rose Acre Farms. If you haven't ever used dried eggs before, they're kind of weird. They take awhile to absorb water--like five or ten minutes. I know there are some protein shake recipes on their web site. HTH

    Actually that overpowering baking powder taste is what keeps me from LOVING Udi's. But I seem to be the only one in my family that tastes it. I would be happy to reduce that. Right, I'm wondering if it is risen twice. That a traditional gluten way but makes gluten-free bread become bricks. I ran out of baking powder, but I got more! I'll...

    I use pure egg white powder. I'll email the company and ask what the ratio is for reconstituting. Would more baking powder throw off the nutritional values? Like I said before, this bread has a distinct baking powder taste. I am of a mind that the leavening is done by the whipped egg whites and baking powder. The next thing I will try is mixing everything...

    Neither of my loaves sank using glass loaf pans at 350. I only left the oil out of the first one. I didn't mention, I do use dried egg whites. For the first loaf, I took a 1/4 water to 3 tablespoon of egg white powder. This was a guess because I didn't really know the exact ratio to use. I soaked them and then whipped them. I also bloomed the yeast...

    Okay, here's what I got last night. The loaf with beaten egg whites is far closer to the texture of Udi's. It does have too much water though because it remained a batter. I did leave out the oil accidentally and it is the closest thing to french bread I've tasted.--so happy accident. The taste is close, but I think Udi's has more baking powder in it...

    It's interesting-the weight is dead-on. I think Riceguy has hit it, but there is something in the technique that makes this bread different. I'm getting ready to bake two loaves--one with the egg whites whipped, one not. Have you ever tried Lorka's bread? You can the recipe on here. It's a great bread, and it you beat the whites and fold them in, it...
  12. TrillumHunter
    One thing I can tell you is that Udi's is a DOUGH not a batter bread. If you look closely at the loaves, you'll see that they are rolled up prior to rising. This is a gluten bread technique. You roll the dough into a rectangle and then roll up, like for cinnamon rolls, but don't cut it, just tuck the ends under. I, too, have been working on this....

    Neti pot--that's the specialized thing for putting salt water up your nose? I don't have one of those, but I do a salt water flush when I have a head cold. It works so much better than any medicine and I believe it makes the duration less. And, other than feeling like you're drowning temporarily, there aren't any side effects. Totally safe for pregnancy...

    No, it doesn't say it CONTAINS wheat. It has the same CYA statement on it that many products have. I am currently looking at the bag. Ingredients: corn Allergy warning: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK, WHEAT, AND SOY.

    I think you should see another doctor. The thyroid check is a good idea. Have you had an ultrasound yet?

    Thanks for the reply. We are starting him on it. I'll be a nervous nelly for a bit, but I'll watch him closely. He's a pretty confident guy, but I worry about scarring.

    There are some potential difficulties. If you get sick with in future and tell drs you are gluten-free without a diagnosis, you may find them reluctant to treat you until you challenge it. You may find yourself doubting your self diagnosis if other health issues come up. Your family and friends may be unwilling to accept your self diagnosis. I think...

    Make sure to let the actual restaurant know. Perhaps a letter to the higher ups in a gentler tone? Just a thought.

    Mmm, a Fuzzy Navel. Yes, that is a good one I'd forgotten. I would feel comfortable ordering that one. It's good to know about the proof of schnapps. I get it over lots of crushed ice and just sip at it over the evening. I've never had more than one.
  22. TrillumHunter
    No idea why you got jumped on over this.... I hope it doesn't drive you away. I, too, would like to NOT have to interrogate everyone who offers me food or drink. Anyhoo, schnapps are a good choice. They come in lots of flavors, from peppermint to peach, and you can have it with club soda or just over ice. Peppermint is delicious over ice and you have...

    I'm a bit worried about it. It has so many nasty side effects listed! He only had one round of antibiotics and I think they did help. I didn't get to go to his follow-up so I didn't get to ask questions. I'd like to hear any experiences with it. I don't see much cystic acne on him as I understand it.

    When I was diagnosed, we knew we test the kids. We agreed that if any one of them were positive or near positive, the household would go gluten-free. It's been great. They actually never complain about it. They go to parties and just pass up the cake. I do believe that at least one will return to eating gluten when they get older. I'm okay with that...

    Some folks on here take it when they are eating in a risky situation. It is hotly debated on here. Just search the boards. I can't imagine giving to a 2yo to be honest.
