    Unbelieveable, just when I think I've taken 2 steps ahead, I take 3 back. I travel on airlines often and the TSA was not too thrilled with my large container of Rice Dream drink ( I had a 12 hour travel day on airlines). Yes, I can drink water, coffee, etc. but I need all the nutrition I can get in a liquid. Tonight I purchased some 8 oz. packages of rice...

    I had a comical restaurant experience last evening.....I'm presently in Florida. My sister arranged for the family members in the area to meet at a local restaurant. When it was my turn to order, I told the waitress I had food allergies and asked her what the ingredients were in the "village salad". She said they have no such item on the menu, and I pointed...

    Well said!!! I'm also retired and was just diagnosed with gluten,casein,soy, intolerances in addition to the lactose intolerance I've had for many years. I travel full time in a motor home, so I always have my kitchen with me. We now go online and find the nearest large natural food store in the area and make it our first stop when we reach our destination...

    I usually order an iced tea, or a salad with no croutons,no dressing, and bring my own allergy free dressing in my purse. If I get strange looks from the waitress, I simply say I have LIFE THREATENING food allergies, and that usually does the trick. A white lie doesn't hurt once in a while.....they pay attention when you use the words life threatening. But...

    Before being diagnosed with gluten/casein/soy intolerance I also had pain that started out in my lower abdomen near the bladder area, then the entire abdomen was painful, then as the weeks went on I had pain in my right lower back in the kidney area in addition to the daily pain everywhere else. I was concerned about a kidney infection,possible kidney stone...

    I too, am lactose/casein/gluten/soy intolerant. No one really knows what it means, unless they also have the same problems. I simply say I have multiple food allergies. When they ask what I am allergic to, I say about 90% of food....which is true!! If they want more details, then I tell them and their reaction is a blank look. I laugh and say, other than...

    I'd go for the full Enterolab panel also. I got my (positive) results, and still had some problems and had additional tests done. Positive for casein and soy!! A complete surprise.

    Yes, using both ingredients sounds right. Years ago before I had food "issues" I made some wonderful chocolate chip cookies and the recipe used both butter and solid shortening. Unfortunately, my one experience with Gluten Free Pantry pie crust was not good. It was all crumbly and could not be placed into the pie pan properly. When baked, it was all crumbs...

    Which cycle did you use? Do you have a gluten cycle or a 1 rise cycle on your machine?

    Another book would be: Cooking Free, by Carol Fenster, PhD. This book has 200 recipes for people with multiple food allergies including alternatives to gluten,dairy,and sugar. I've purchased most of my books used on-line thru Amazon. Some of the new books are shipped free and the price is very reasonable. Your local library may also have many allergy...

    The chicken may have been gluten free, but was it lactose/dairy free? I noticed you have a problem with lactose....I recently discovered the lactase enzyme that I had been taking for about 10 years has wheat in it, and also soy!! The company has recently changed their ingredients, and I'm wondering if these ingredients were in it all along thru the years...

    The dough climbs up my hand held mixer and my older Sunbeam stand mixer also. Holding a spatula at the top of the beaters does help somewhat. The next time I make bread, I'll use the regular beaters for the wet ingredients, then switch to dough hooks for the dry ingredients and see how that works. I'm not in the market for another stand mixer at present...

    For those brownie lovers who love the "edges", check out this product....Open Original Shared Link I'd love to try gheidie's recipe....applesauce and mayonnaise provide moisture in recipes. Quinoa flour is not sold here. That's about the only product that I don't have!

    I've had great luck using Arrowhead Mills Brownie Mix.....at 7,500 ft and also at lower altitudes. The were so moist and delicious, I haven't tried other brands or recipes yet........well, just one...Pamela's...I misread the directions and messed up. I ate them anyway. I travel on a full time basis and Arrowhead Mills Brownies have been hard to find, but...

    I also tried to make some baguette type rolls with Chebe, and it was a disaster. I made bread crumbs from the results. People have raved about this product, I'm not really impressed. Perhaps like you, I also may have done something wrong.

    Thank you so much for the hints and recipes. I've been gluten-free for about 3 months now, and I'm becoming a seasoned pro, thanks to this forum. Each day is easier and easier. I don't have a Betty Crocker recipe, but I do have one from Land of Lakes for chocolate chip cookies that I will try next week. I'm also learning to cut a recipe that I haven't...

    I just noticed that JC Penney has a 700 watt professional grade commercial mixer available for $149.99. It might be worth looking into. Go to www.jcpenney.com and type in item # 780-2111 to view the product. This mixer was advertised in a sale flyer, I noticed their online website does not show the sale price. Perhaps during the holiday the price will...

    Would you believe I also was clicking on each reply until about a week ago when I learned the "secret". Sure makies life easier!
  19. Ginsou
    Success!! When I added another egg, the batter was too thin. Added more flour (sorghum), added salt and xanthan gum....which were not ingredients in the original recipe.... and they are now perfect! Soft, delicious. Glad I did not give up. I have to use canola oil , coconut oil or Spectrum shortening when baking.....so if I cut back a bit on the oil and...

    I'm also waiting for someone to try the gluten free oats. Who is going to be the first guinea pig?
  21. Ginsou
    The recipe is for ginger creme cookies on the Montina baking supplement box. It calls for 1 egg. It's the next day, and I'm still experimenting!!! I chilled the dough overnight, no luck. I've tried parchment paper, no luck.I've increased and decreased the oven temperature. Hmmmmm....meatloaf recipes call for an egg "to hold the ingredients together"....I...

    I've just about given up on cookies. Why do they fall flat and spread out all over the place and hard as rocks? This has happened with a gluten free boxed mix, so I tried from scratch. Still a disaster. I've tried baking on a greased cookie sheet, ungreased sheet, silicone mat, oven and convection. I'm looking to come as close as I can to the dark ginger...

    I also use Vance's Dari Free to make cocoa/hot chocolate. This product is not available in too many places.....I order it online. Better Than Milk Rice powder also works well. Try this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

    Did you know that Enterolab keeps your specimen for 6 months, and if you want an additional test it can be done ? I 've had lactose intolerance for 30 years, and tested positive for Celiac. Eliminated gluten from my diet. Still had some problems....and tested positive for dairy, and also soy!!! Most of my gluten free products also had soy in them......mayonnaise...
