    The owner of Glutenus Minimus is opening a storefront bakery in Belmont in the next few weeks. Hopefully we'll have our first place in Greater Boston to buy fresh baked goods! Open Original Shared Link I've met the owner a couple of times and she's lovely. Very exciting! -Margaret

    Both Diesel (in Davis Square) and Bloc 11 (in Union Square) are now carrying gluten free cookies and raspberry bars. They're made by a woman in Stoneham. The company is www.strawmoon.com They're not as good as MY cookies... But they are just fine and it's SO nice to take my kid out for a cookie and a lemonade after a long day at school. They keep them...

    Ask for a second opinion interpreting your results. What could it hurt?

    I wonder if other grains in the US besides oats have the same cross contamination issues that exist with oats. Oats are not safe because they are stored in the same silos and are grown in rotation with wheat. I've pretty much taken it for granted that oats are the only gluten free grain that has this problem. But perhaps it is more widespread than I know...

    A 504 plan refers to section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's a binding contract you make with your public school about the accommodations that they need to make to deal with any medical condition a child may have, such as celiac or a much more severe disability. Do they have something similar in Canada? and nice horse... I miss horses...

    I'm in the process of putting together a 504 plan for my son and it includes required training for all the teachers at the school so that they will understand celiac disease. They will even have to take a little test on it to make sure they have read and understand the materials. It might be worth putting together a 504 plan if your nurse is not taking...

    I use almond meal and cornmeal with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, coarse salt and pepper. Dip it in eggs and fry. Comes out GREAT.

    I make great gluten-free bread and rolls... It's just been too hot to bake. The point is if Whole Foods has the gall to charge us $10 a loaf, I think it should be fresh. I met the father of a celiac boy who lived in Italy. He said that his wife goes every day to a baker and buys fresh gluten-free bread for her son. I just wish something like that...

    So, we've finally got some decent HOT summer weather her in the Northeast. Which means I really don't want to be running my oven. But if I want bread or rolls in the house I have to make them otherwise I'm stuck with the frozen "microwave by the slice" bread from Whole Foods. WHY can't they provide any fresh gluten free baked goods? gluten-free stuff...

    I work in the IT department at dining services or a major university. We also have a mandatory meal plan. However, since it's mandatory, they accommodate all declared food allergies. The staff preparing the food is specifically trained to deal with food allergy and cross contamination issues. Go talk to the chef's and see what they can do for you. We have...

    Here's a link to my adapted version with photos... It's not so different from the recipe, but the results were great. I don't think you could make this with feta though. You really need the chewy-ness of the mozzarella to make these: Open Original Shared Link

    I made them again tonight... I would recommend using a larger cookie sheet to keep them separate instead of putting them together like dinner rolls. They do spread quite a bit before they puff up. I upped the recipe by 1/2 and made 6 larger ones in a muffin top pan that I got from A M A Z O N and I made 6 smaller ones on a cookie sheet. We used the larger...

    I used 2 whole eggs (instead of just the yokes) and double acting baking powder and I used half and half for the cream. I used Sargento shredded mozzarella for the cheese. They puffed up pretty good. I've found I get much better results when I use a double-acting baking powder such as calumet as opposed to Rumsfords. Good luck and I'm sorry they're...

    There's other recipes out there that use milk and oil in addition to the tapioca and cheese. But we're trying to loose weight, so I went with the lower fat version. If you google Brazillian Cheese rolls, you'll get more recipes.

    If you can have dairy, I suggest the recipe on the back of the large Pamela's bag... They are really, really good. It's a bisquick type drop biscuit. If you use less liquid, you could roll them out. I add sugar and make them in a muffin tin for strawberry shortcake.
  16. NewGFMom
    They are tapioca flour and mozzarella mostly... But I figured it out! I found this recipe and it was remarkably similar. Open Original Shared Link They were super easy to make and everybody LOVED them. If you can have dairy, these are a dream come true! I plan on making them all the time. I'll put fresh rosemary in them and serve them as dinner...

    I'd make them re-do the test. Perhaps her results got mixed up with somebody else's. It took my son two years for his TTG to go back to normal, and his doctors knew that was normal and they are experts. (Head of the Celiac group at Children's Hospital in Boston) If your house isn't gluten free, or nearly gluten free, I'd strongly suggest that you do that...

    My son loves the Against the Grain rolls. but they're expensive and I think I could make something similar with a good recipe. Anybody have a recipe for a gluten free roll that uses mozzarella cheese? I could experiment, but the ingredients are so darned expensive. Thanks!

    I DO make breaded chicken with almond meal. The TJ's stuff is dark because the almonds aren't blanched. For breaded chicken, I use about 1/2 almond meal, 1/2 cornmeal and some Italian Spices or Herbes de Provence, garlic powder and salt and pepper. If I'm feeling clever, sometimes I'll throw in some Parmesan in there. I use egg to "glue" the breading...

    Lemon Poppyseed Coconut Muffins I've been messing around with coconut flour for these last few days and I came up with these and they were a HIT. You can also substitue the coconut flavoring with almond and I think that would give a great result too. Makes 12 muffins 2 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cups Pamelas baking mix 1/2 cup coconut flour (I used...

    You can get almond meal/almond flour at Trader Joe's for about $4 per bag. I use it in just about everything. It's not made from blanched almonds like the Bob's stuff, but it works quite good. I use it in lieu of breadcrumbs in a lot of things too.

    Hi folks, I'm looking for some feedback on 504 plans. I decided to get one for my son's kindergarten that will start in September. He has celiac, and has been on a gluten-free diet for a couple of years. So far our preschool and prek experiences have been great without any formal plan in place. But I want to make sure that the new school understands this...

    I also found Corn Chex gluten free at Stop and Shop this week! It said it right on the box. I did a little happy dance right there in the market.

    The TTG is certainly the most reliable of the blood tests for celiac. When that one is positive 99% of the time celiac is what you're looking at. If it were my child, I would do the biopsy if the blood work was inconclusive.
  25. NewGFMom
    Our Ped GI at Children's Hospital in Boston said it takes a year in most cases for the TTG levels to return to normal. If it's way down after 3 months, you sound like you're on the right track.
