    I bought the book and recommend it to everyone! Emily

    This is my favorite too! For the 1 1/4 cup gluten free flour, I use: 1/2 cup soy flour 1/2 cup buckwheat or brown rice flour 1/4 cup garfava flour (in addition to 1/4 already in recipe) If you don't have problems with soy, I think it really helps it to fluff up and stay together. Happy baking! Emily

    In addition to veggies and flax bread, I like eating Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Gluten Free Hot Cereal for added fiber in my diet (Yes, that is actually the name!). I add a little salt (really makes a difference) and some cut up fruit (banana/strawberries/blueberries) and sometimes some nuts like toasted pecans or sliced almonds. It has 4g of fiber in just...

    What a great quote! Emily

    I just thought I would share this gluten free pasta recipe I got from one of Bette Hagman's books since it has brought so much joy to my life lately! I never thought I could make fresh pasta (let alone gluten free!) but it is as easy as mix, roll out, slice and boil. There is no drying involved. Simply boil for 5 minutes or freeze the fresh dough for later...

    Congratulations! That's very exciting! It's great when we can have good things happen (like seeing our hip bones again) considering how much some of us feel we have to give up with this diet. It makes it all worth it! Emily

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm hopeful I can have it again. I hadn't had red wine for a long time and I tried a small amount last night and seem to be okay. Phew! I was worried that was out for good. So hopefully coffee can come back into the diet too!

    Welcome to the forum. This place is definitely a life saver. You will most likely find that most of the people around you will not really understand what you are going through, so this is a great place to talk and get advice from people who do. I had a rash on my right leg and on my ankles when I was at my worst. I have to admit, I cried a lot when I was...

    You're welcome! I can definitely sympathize! My husband and I went on a cruise and it was so depressing to have to put on a nice formal dress at night and have a pregnant belly sticking out. My chest has even decreased in size since I went gluten free (not sure why, haven't lost weight) so that just adds insult to injury!

    It's difficult to cut out the few things that we still enjoy that are gluten free. I held on to coffee and red wine for a very long time. It's so difficult to figure out what is causing your stomach to be upset sometimes. I wish we had a specific weekly menu that cuts out all known allergens (which would probably mean we couldn't eat anything) and tells us...

    I experienced hair loss as well. I didn't really notice it because I have thick hair, but my hair dresser pointed it out because she noticed that I had a lot of new hair growing in (this was after I started the gluten free diet). Then I thought about how much hair was coming out in the shower and realized that it was more than it used to be. I also experienced...

    That's a very interesting thought. I wish there were more studies on these sorts of things. I wonder if we all could have healed better if we went on a specific diet after going gluten free. I wish I had the time to become a registered nutritionist so I could have more tools to figure this all out!

    I was wondering about Tannins awhile back when I was trying to figure out the cranberries. When I researched it I noticed I was eating a lot of foods with Tannins in them. I must have missed the coffee (or subconsciously ignored it).

    Finally feeling better! My stomach is almost back to normal. I was feeling better after cutting way back on the sugar and the citrus/acidic fruits, and also cutting out red wine and craisins and drinking only one cup of coffee a day instead of two. Then two days ago, I cut out coffee completely (tea instead) and I didn't have to run to the bathroom in...

    I was having problems for two months, went off coffee yesterday and this morning and I am feeling 10 times better. No running to the bathroom 30 mins after my coffee. I can't believe it took me so long to figure out it was the coffee. I don't think I wanted to even think about giving that up. I'm hoping that once my stomach heals again I can have some once...
  16. Emily Elizabeth
    Thanks AliB! I do notice that when I start eating less sugar I also start to feel a little better. I'll have to try this and see if it helps - it will take discipline!

    Bless you for posting this! That is wonderful news! I am now optimistic that mine will flatten out soon too. I'm almost at my 1 year anniversary of going gluten free, so hopefully I will see results soon! Please pass along any advice as to how to do it if there is anything to do other than follow the diet and continue to eat healthy and exercise. Thanks...

    I had the same issues with my teeth and also the joint pain in my wrists. I have been gluten free for 10 months now and don't have anymore joint pain. I assume my teeth are getting better too. I'll have to see the next time I go to the dentist. I hope you start to feel better too!

    I finally called Costco last week, because I'm tired of paying top dollar for pecans and they just got back to me today. They said that their pecans and walnuts are gluten free! Yea! Their almonds, however, are processed in a facility that processes wheat and there could be cc.

    I know the feeling! If you answer yes to one of the too questions below, then I would say you are not getting fat. Were you too thin before? Can you fit in your pants in the morning, just not at night? If you were on the thin side before and not able to put on muscle due to the damage in your stomach, then you are probably just now starting to...

    I make my own gravy so I can't answer your question, but here's the recipe if you're interested - you can omit the giblets and replace turkey stock with chicken or beef bouillon. It looks complicated, but it's actually very easy and quick! Open Original Shared Link Turkey Gravy W/Giblets (Gluten Free Ingredients 2 tablespoons butter or margarine...

    I can't offer much more than my understanding of what you are going through. I go through the same thing at the office. I didn't eat out much for lunch before, so that's not a problem, but having to explain my disease to a room full of people every time there is a birthday or lunch is really wearing on me. Sometimes I'm fine with it, but most of the time...
  23. Emily Elizabeth
    Thank you so much for your post. I am so happy to hear that it is possible that it will go away! I will continue to exercise and eat healthy and pray that I am able to stay healthy for a long enough amount of time to see results. Right now I've been sick for over a month (must have gotten glutened somehow, but I have no idea from what) so it is of course...
  24. Emily Elizabeth
    What a cool idea! I'll have to buy some coffee in the metal cans and try it out. Thank you! Emily

    I was dairy-free for a couple months when I thought I was lactose intolerant and unfortunately the stomach was still there (then I tested negative for lactose intolerance and started eating it again). I may try it again though and see if it helps. Thank you! Emily
