    you could be allergic/sensitive to xantham gum -- many people are actually. Plus the gums (xantham, guar, etc.) are known to have laxative effects on the body due to their nature of being gums. use gums, (which are -not- necessary in gluten-free baking), sparingly, especially if you find yourself sensitive to them

    everyone responds differently to gluten exposure. but every celiac/gluten intolerant should make all precautions to avoid it all of the time. cleaning your wooden surfaces is actually easier than your plastic ones -- great info can be found here: Open Original Shared Link but overall -- care for your butcher block as you were before -- sand when necessary...

    remember gluten is a toxin for celiac/gluten intolerant purposes; as with toxins it is most dangerous to imbibe them, secondarily dangerous is inhalation, and third is skin contact. yes, celiacs/gluten intolerants can get VERY skin from -inhalation- of as little as 1/8t of gluten (this includes crumbs, flour, etc.) yes, celiacs/gluten intolerants can...

    Quinoa is a safe grain -- the transport and cultivation of quinoa makes it often open to cross-contamination - -no matter how much you wash it. Make sure your quinoa if sourced gluten free otherwise you are eating wheat.

    there is clean and then there is clean. no need for new pans if you truly clean them before eat and every use. (and as said previously that they are not scratched -- not without a commercial dishwasher with very high water pressure and which reaches very high water temps) for the home user you must clean with hot soapy water -- dishwashers with bleach...

    grains, when cooked thoroughly are very good for the celiac digestion -- but outside or rice and quinoa the other grains are more temperamental and require longer cooking times and usually with added oil, even some require sauteing before boiling. as for bread, most on the shelf, or *gasp* in the freezer, gluten-free bread is made for a long shelf life...

    Untreated celiac and gluten intolerance are autoimmune disorders and thus can weaken your immune system -- making you more susceptible to colds and other illnesses. Please check in with your medical practitioner to make sure your immune system is up to snuff and that your vitamin and mineral panels are too.

    Come and be with 'family' as we meetup at Mr. Miceli's for great Italian food. Even if you've eaten at Mr. Miceli's before, these events are well worth the return trip! This is a pick and pay event -- no payment in advance necessary...

    The best gluten free grahams I have ever had are from Azure Chocolat in NY -- they rock! Azure also has gluten free SMORES bars!

    It is certainly amazing how so many of us have such extreme views on our favorites and least favorites -- of the same products! Some love rice products -- some hate them. Some love Amy's some hate Amy's. But it's great -- I think it shows that gluten-free products are just as diverse as non-gluten-free products -- I mean this reaction doesn't occur that...

    My husband and I are spending two weeks traveling from NY to Nova Scotia and we are hoping to find gluten free places to eat out, (we found a B& that says they will accommodate gluten-free so we're excited about that, but anyone have ideas for restaurants? Thanks! Nicole gluten free since 2005 started dealing with the gluten in 1996
