    I'm in my 2nd week. So far, I've only noticed that my teeth are a little whiter, not significant, and my gums look good. I have a cold, so I think the mucous is from that. No other abnormalities seen, but I don't have any fillings either. I'm trying to get my mom to do it. She has had all of her mercury fillings removed about 5 years ago, but they were...

    Personally, I'm not a fan of the surgery option. I've seen too many patients with complications and many of those who don't have the surgical complications eventually gain back the weight, although slowly at first. I lost 100# the old fashioned way and have kept it off for more than 5 years now-even having a baby 3 years ago, I lost the baby weight within...

    Do you guys do your lunches in Beaverton or anywhere? Andina's in Portland has amazing food! Otherwise, the only place in Beaverton we've eaten gluten-free is Red Robin, but we moved to Vancouver a year before dd's diagnosis. We don't eat out a whole lot. When she is older, we will probably venture out a little more. More of the upscale restaurants cater...

    I have no idea why this works, but it does--when I pull my bread out of the oven, I place the pan on its side on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan (so the bottom of the loaf doesn't get soggy) and place the bread back on the cooling rack on its other side. Sometimes it shrinks a little on the sides, but not significantly. ...

    I work near Beaverton, we moved from there about 4 years ago. If you're ever headin north and you haven't been to Lingonberries, I would plan to stop if you can. gluten-free mecca

    If you're in Portland OR, have you tried Fred Meyer? They have a separate gluten-free section in the health food area, all the flours are there (in most cases, otherwise all the BRM flours are together). From what I have found, they are cheaper than Safeway too. If you are near the WA boarder, you should try the new Freddy's right off hwy-14, they have...

    We LOVE LOVE LOVE Pamela's!!

    In our "around the world" cooking once a week, we visited Greece last night. I found 2 recipes I thought the kids would like. The lasagna went over so-so (but i LOVED it, so I had leftovers for lunch -dd liked it too but ate too much bread, so she was full ). The bread was a HUGE hit. It was perfect and just like you would get from the bakery. The only...

    I fully agree!! It's about darned time too! Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for all of your help and support this last year and 1/2, I really appreciate every one of you!

    Ours is too!! (Vancouver WA) I'm very thankfull! My kids like it, but they buy the crust from a local gluten-free bakery and it's too heavy on the bean flour for me-but all that matters is that they like it

    I've never been one for resolutions, I've never found them to work really well-but I guess resolving to lose 50# by February is just setting one up for disaster This year, however, I've come to the realization that I'm really not happy with who I am right now and there are a few things I need to fix, for myself, not for anyone else. BUT, instead of...

    Have you taken her to the dr to have it looked at? Just to make sure it's not a yeast infection? My dd had a yeast infection once and it sounds like what you described. My son had HORRIBLE diaper rashes though from birth and more than once, they would bleed-but they looked more like acid burns, no pimples. He was always in the 10th percent for his height...

    Rachel, I was you, also at 23. I had a great career, great husband, beautiful baby girl and more than 100# overweight. It was after my dd was born that I realized if I couldn't do it for me, I would do it for her. That only works for so long before you realize it has to be for YOU and no one else or it's not possible. It took me 2 years, it wasn't easy...

    Could be!! 375 for 10 min might be way too long. Try the 350 for 7 minutes, then check to see if they need a little more time. The leftover ones I made on Tuesday were still in the bag last night (not any more ), and a little hard, so I tossed them in the microwave for 12 seconds--they turned back into the warm gooey cookies I took out of the oven--that...
  15. celiac-mommy
    I do the same temp that a recipe calls for, I just check maybe 10 minutes before to see if it's done. Any cookies, I usually cook on 350, unless it specifically says a very low temp or high temp-but regular cookies-350.

    I was a preschool teacher thru college, and I picked it up there--mix that with a husband who was legally blind at the time=disaster. I had no one to go thru my hair. My mom actually drove 6 hours to stay with us to at least get rid of all the stuff on my head--we used the comb too. Washed everything in the closet because I had folded up a sweater I had...

    I love the Biochem raw foods and whey, it's an awesome recovery drink!

    OMG, is there anyone that can get the supplies for you??

    I have a convection oven and I usually check at about 7 minutes. Just when the edges are starting to brown, the insides will still look gooey, but after letting them sit on the (parchmented) pan for 3 min or so, they are ready to move. The outsides of the cookies get a little crunchy and the insides soft and chewy. Let me know what happens if you bake...

    I'm sorry they didn't turn out for you! I've never had this happen to me. I made them on Tuesday night, put in a ziplock bag and brought them out to eat yesterday, they were still nice and chewy. Even if I leave them on a plate covered with a papertowel they stay chewy. Did you use the Pamela's or another flour blend? What did you use for the fat?...

    We managed to get to my grandma's on Chrismas Eve, about 30 minutes away (normally), but it snowed nonstop from 7am to about 11. Snowed buckets at her house, but then started raining. The ride home was a little scary because everything was turning slushy. Christmas day we had no snow in the morning. My parents were supposed to drive up (about an hour...

    Day 6. no major changes. My teeth are looking good. I won't have a definitive answer on all of this until I visit the dentist. Overall, my teeth and gums were in good condition and i don't have any fillings, so I can't see any changes there. I am interested to know why some days, after swishing for the same amount of time with the same pulling "gusto...

    I thought we were in the clear. I actually drove yesterday, which is a big deal for me (in the snow). We took the kids sledding and I think I had just as much fun as they did! Then I wake up about 20 minutes ago to get ready to drive north ~30 miles and it's a blizzard out there right now. We've tried every day calling to try to find chains in this city...

    I made these in my avitar. The dough ends up very elastic-not super sticky, but I rolled it out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, cut the shapes out, pulled the excess off around the shapes and inverted the plastic wrap onto parchment paper. Sounds harder than it was, but overall, no major problems. They taste really good, very buttery! 2 sticks of...

    I've made these MANY times, they are SOOOO good. You can make the rolls the night before, put in fridge and bake in the morning, they are just as good. I usually make 2 pans, 1 regular and one with tiny diced apples in the filling. I serve it with a hashbrown/sausage/egg casserole to add in some protein (I can give you the recipe if you want) Cinammon...
