    Mark, I have only been gluten free since the end of October but I have not lost my appetite, if anything it is back like crazy! The face burning though, I had that and all the time. It felt so hot but no one could understand what I was talking about although sometimes I looked red. I lost 5 lbs right away but as I said my hunger is crazy and I am not...

    Did you read the books by Harvey Diamond, Fit for life. I tried to include a link but it wasn't working I read his books years ago and followed them for about 3 years. It can be difficult to follow to the letter but not really now that I follow gluten free to the letter! The idea behind it is your stomach produces different acids to digest meats and...

    OMG I would have never thought about the dentist being an issue. Thanks for the warning.

    I am in the same boat. The family wanted spaghetti, no problem! Ya except when you out of habit test a spaghetti noodle to see if it is done and only after you swallow and walk away do you realize what you just did. The pain is horrendous and my joints ache awful. It feels like my gut is gnawing away at me from the inside out. I am going to go try the pepto...

    That is how I cook and bake too, by feel. There is very rarely that I follow recipes exactly so gluten-free is interesting! LOL Last night I found a lemon drop cookie recipe and made it gluten-free. My daughter has been asking for lemon cookies so I thought why not. Big thing is I didn't tell her they were gluten-free I told her they were not! She almost...

    I didn't say your list wasn't good and I explained why it bothered me. Not trying to start a problem just saying that online it isn't as easy to communicate.

    OMG toooo much cuteness AWWWWWWWW

    How do you decide how much xanthan gum the cookies need? You mention the russian teacakes take more but how do you know? I have seen some guidelines but meh! What clues should I be looking for in the baked goods to know if I have enough or too much? tia

    I would like it. I am debating what to make this year. My daughter swears she can tell the difference in the stuff I bake now. HUMPH I doubt it, I think it is mental. Making something like this might fool her?

    Hi, I have only been gluten-free since the end of October. I too worried about this so I haven't really done any of that kind of baking for my family. But my daughter is 15 and she loves pizza, well sorta, pizza crust with cheese and nothing else. Kinda spendy to go buy it just for her so I made pizza crust for her the other day and I didn't have any problems...

    Chocolate can be melted with other liquids BUT it has to be VERY low slow heat and not direct heat. How are you melting it? A double boiler works best. I have learned is heat the water to a simmer then turn it off, you can leave the pan on the burner though, place the chocolate and what ever else in a bowl (metal works well) and let it sit, stirring often...

    Has anyone made these yet? I miss those cookies lots and lots! They were my once a day fix right before time to make dinner. I thought they were holding me over until dinner!

    Call me oversenstive but your post has really bothered me enough that I haven't wanted to come back much. "I ALREADY POSTED THIS" I appreciate the work you put into it but when you respond in such a manner it feels like how dare me for asking! I'm sure you didn't mean to come off this way but I thought I would let you know how it affected me. ...

    I was going to say long slow cook too. You can soak them for an hour before you cook them to let the grain soak up some of the water. If you soak oats they release some of what ever it is that makes them gooey but I don't know the explanation behind it.

    I use the McCanns also, ground my own in the vitamix. I am not worried about oats, there have been enough studies to show them to be ok. I wouldn't go and eat a pkg of instant - the add hot water too type, I think that would be taking a chance. But as for oats I will keep eating them with no worries. I too use the ground oats in as much as possible for...

    I used to have those mouth sores. My entire childhood and teen years oh heck just keep going through the ages... Those sores were so painful and never went fully away. Makes my mouth hurt just to think of them. I read recently those sores are a pointer to Celiac, too bad the medical and dental community don't know that.

    I cannot agree with you all the way. Yes I do agree we have to educate ourselves and the internet helps us greatly. BUT put the big D in and you will not get Celiac for an answer right off the bat. I searched for years and the only reason I found Celiac was a friend brought it up. I searched for fatigue and tired legs and arms and so on. So the net doesn...

    I would like to say that it isn't just us with Celiac that get the shaft from the medical community. My son had pyloric stenosis and was in the process of looking like a starving child. He was skin and bones with a distended tummy. Ya there wasn't anything wrong with him was what I was told over and over. Oh and one ER nurse told me she wasn't go to waste...

    We had gluten-free cornbread stuffing. It was ok. The taste was new to me and will take getting used to. To the leftovers we added 2 eggs and 1/4 cup cream, stirred in well. Fried in some olive oil and yum yum. I liked it better this way!
  20. bakingbarb
    No I hadn't heard about that bakery. Yes I agree that it is always nice to be able to eat someone else food. I have always loved bakeries Ya I am north

    Try this link, the one you listed seems like a food site but it was a bit off so I looked it up on Google Open Original Shared Link

    These all sound so good. I like that you include nuts, they are so good and good for us. Oh ya those PB cookies are great, since finding out about them I have tired to keep the dough in the freezer ready to bake.

    Oh you hit the spot. This is what we will be eating saturday. This is my fav salad and as soon as I mentioned this my honey said oh ya!

    It is the same for me. This has been a month for me and I was really starting to question if I was eatign gluten somehow. No I dont think I was, I am very careful and a very good cook so I know what was going into my food (plus I do a majority of the cooking). I am just now starting to even out with the withdrawls and tummy issues and headaches. Eating...

    Sunbeam has been around for years. I have my Grandmothers sitting in my kitchen, although it runs I won't use it. My sister and I were thinking it is at least 35 years old, very heavy beast for the size. My ex bought me a sunbeam when we were first married and I used it for years. Even though they really don't compare to a kitchenaid, they are worth owning...
