    Make sure to eat lots of snacks very frequently (every couple of hours), always include some protein in your snacks (nuts, cheese, meats, etc.), as this will help with nausea. Just stick with basics at first, veggies, meats fruit, rice etc. and you should be fine. Rice cakes (lundberg's are gluten free and some quaker rice cakes are fine - read the ingredients...

    does this recipe work pretty well as cupcakes (if you've tried it that way) and would it take the same amount of time to cook? I'd like to try it for a barbeque we're having this week. Thanks!

    Emilysmomma, no you don't need a special gluten-free setting if you're just doing the dough. Urbancowboy, for the homemade setting you would scroll through the options with the "select course" button until the little arrow is pointing at the homemade cycle then use the "cycle" button to scroll through the different parts of the cycle (preheat, knead, rise...

    ginger is pretty spicy. you can get ginger powder in any spice dept. or the actual root in the produce dept. it makes a lovely tea if you boil little bits of the root.

    Thanks for the info on fats! I'm glad to know I'm going to be alright eating 3 servings (sometimes more since I'm pregnant and they are a good source of protein and iron) a day of meat with all its saturated fatness.

    I've never done a cleans but I was curious when I saw your post and looked it up. Here are some reviews from Amazon: Open Original Shared Link not too many good ones but the first review seems to explain a lot.

    Do you mean UNsaturated fats? Aren't saturated fats the bad kind? I eat hot cereal almost every morning with a couple tablespoons of ground flax seed added for the fiber and omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids which, as Ursa said are good for the brain development. I also have an egg for protein (you can also buy eggs with the omega-3 in them) and then...

    Yeah, tuna is fine in moderation. I've also gotten peanut butter on a plane before, it's not really a liquid so they let me take it, with gluten free crackers or veggies or fruit etc. Nuts are also great and I like Larabars and Lunabars, which are both gluten free, for snacks when I'm on the go. For nausea, I found ginger to be very helpful. Ginger chews...

    ONESOURCE brand pre-natals are also labeled gluten free and can be found at Wal-Mart. I wonder why your OB would make a big deal about you being gluten free? It's not that unheard of and based on your signature info, you seem to be doing so well on the diet. I can't think of anything about being pregnant that would require you to ingest gluten! In fact...

    That's pretty good to be so confident after 8 months! It's been over a year for me and I'm only confident with recipes I've used over and over (many from this forum, as I've already said) but I'm always a little nervous to try a new one and I don't know if I'll ever be confident enough to make up my own gluten-free, flour-based recipes!

    I've never heard of chia seeds before, they sound interesting. Where do you get them and are they pre-ground or do you grind them yourself? Do they work the same way as xanthan gum in gluten-free baking?

    I second the Pamela's baking mix suggestion, it's a life saver when you are first diagnosed. Pamela's bread mix is also very good, a little sweet but good. I've found Carol Fenster's cookbook Gluten-Free 101 helpful, she gives descriptions of all the gluten-free flours, what they do and how best to use them in that book. She has some good recipes in that...

    i recently got the zojirushi with some saved up Amazon certificates (i have an amazon visa, it's awesome i've gotta say). i really love how it has the two paddles to mix well and the programmability. i really like not having to pull out the stand mixer and all that and get the dough from the mixer to the bread pan (it's so sticky and gloppy) and heat up...

    Thanks for the link Rissa, I'll look at it next time I'm in the grocery store. I think the betty crocker frosting has wheat starch in it unfortunately and I've never found anything else quite the same as their rainbow chip but I haven't looked all that hard. I've only made homemade frosting since being on the diet, which is good too just not as convenient...

    my favorite used to be pink strawberry cake with the betty crocker rainbow chip frosting on top. if this is a pretty good strawberry cake replica, i wonder how to do the rainbow chip frosting? i can't wait to try this, thanks Rissa.

    "Baby Mum-Mums" rice rusks are great. I'm pretty sure they are made in Australia and should be available in grocery stores there. They are not hard teething biscuits but they are gluten-free and great for babies and toddlers. My little girl loves them. They are crunchy and fun to chew on but dissolve very easily in the mouth. They are just rice which...

    You can do all rice flour in place of the bean flour and for the gluten-free flour (1 1/2 cups total rice flour). You can do tapioca starch if you don't have corn starch. I like the taste of sorghum added to brown rice but it will definitely work without sorghum or bean flour and you may like it better with all rice but it's fun to try dif. combos of flour...
  18. HiDee
    You could use 4 Tbsp. of just the regular rice flour blend (rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch) straight across. Or I'm guessing that the 4 Tbsp. flour is used mostly as a thickener and in that case you could probably do 2 Tbsp. corn starch as a replacement since corn starch has twice the thickening power as regular flour. If I'm wrong about it being...

    I think a great substitute would be either quinoa or amaranth because they are almost the perfect size and shape. When cooked they look just like couscous and would do rather well in any couscous recipe I should imagine. I've also heard of couscous being made from millet. I doubt it could be found in the US though, since it is so much more commonly made...

    OK, I tried it out for Mother's Day. It's very dark chocolaty and NOT sweet (my husband the sugar-lover wouldn't eat more than one bite). I imagine that's because it seemed to be a European recipe based on what the article said about it. If you want it to taste more like cake as we know it here in the USA you will want to increase the sugar, maybe even...

    I called the company quite a while back and they say teff, amaranth and quinoa are all perfectly safe to mill in the nutrimill. They are not too small or oily. You can't do nuts or seeds like almonds or flax because those are too oily. I haven't done quinoa because I'm still unsure if it can be ground without rinsing and if it is rinsed and then dried...

    you could probably do rice bran or something like that since the flax adds extra fiber the rice bran would do that too. Otherwise I'm sure you could make this without the flax and it would still be fine.

    I take ONESOURCE prenatals that are OTC and labeled GLUTEN-FREE. I take them with food to prevent nausea. They are in a pink bottle, I buy them at Wal-Mart but they may be available elsewhere. That chewable prenatal sounds great, I've never seen any OTC chewable prenatals before.

    I checked my prenatals and it actually has 240 caplets, not 140.
