    That's pretty much how I make my lasagna. I made three different versions this week (just made them in smaller loaf pans). This version, a similar version with tofu (two vegetarian daughters) and a mushroom alfredo version (I can't do tomatoes). I made the mushroom alfredo one similar to the others but subbed in alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce that...

    I don't bother dredging most meats when I sear them (with the exception of schnitzels which require it). I just find it an unnecessary step. I use sweet rice flour for thickening and making gravies. I find it works the best out of all the gluten free flours for this purpose (plus it doesn't lose it's integrity when reheated, which is a big plus).

    Hi Jenn, I do not have a diffinitive diagnosis, I am diagnosed by symptoms. I had made the mistake of going gluten free before testing (I had done an elimination diet and discovered that wheat, rye and barley were a problem, it was years later that I met a person with Celiac Disease and she told me that she thought that was what I had. I couldn't do a...

    Made this recipe just this past week. It is a very nice bread, makes great toast and didn't fall apart on me. GLUTEN FREE BEER BREAD 1/2 cup certified gluten free oat flour (substitution: quinoa flour) 1 cup sorghum flour 1 cup tapioca flour 1/2 cup arrowroot (substitution: cornstarch) 1 cup white rice flour (substitution: superfine brown rice flour...

    Excellent. You have the best of both worlds, a medical doctor who can order test, write prescriptions and make referrals, but also a Naturapathic doctor who understands the relationship between food and the body. Good find.

    If the store you regularly shop at has only the Lea and Perrins, ask them to order in the Heinz for you. Because Heinz distributes both, that should be doable for the store.

    Sorry doodle, it is so Open Original Shared Link click on ingedients at the bottom and you'll see the first ingredient is malt vinegar (from barley). I have found a gluten free Worcestershire sauce recently, actually two. Heinz has a gluten free version (they funnily also do Lea and Perrins), I contacted them to confirm this, and the other one I found...

    I was similar to you, where I was done to about 5 food and was still sick. In my case, it turned out to be cross contamination. When my daughter was also diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I decided that our entire home needed to go gluten free to support her. Within a week I started to improve and have been steadily improving since then.

    I do take digestive enzymes. I wasn't sure if they were helping or not, until I ran out (they were clearly helping as I am back to having some stomach distress after eating. I think the most important enzyme for me has been the lipase. I really react to fat in my diet if I don't use it and WARNING TMI COMING: my stools have started floating and are hard...

    I had my adrenals (cortisol) checked by several doctors and was told that they were fine (the blood test tests for bound cortisol, they ordered an am cortisol and a pm cortisol). I was then tested by my Naturapathic doctor (I started to go to him after hearing him talk about gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease at a gluten free workshop. He is gluten intolerant...

    Anthony, thanks for asking your question. I too, have been healing slowly, have discovered many other intolerances and have had occasional accidental gluten ingestion. 1 year and 3 months into this and I'm still having issues. What I have had to do is look at where I was at back then, and then see how far I have come. There is progress, and I need to be patient...

    I take probiotics, digestive enzymes and L-Glutamine to help heal my gut and help with digestion.

    Thanks Purple. I don't come on the site often so I'm glad you have reposted it.

    You should have no problem using guar gum instead of xanthan gum.

    I don't know which books you are referring to, but generally most of that information is for each serving.

    You can make really easy pan sauces for any sauted meat, in a mix of olive oil and a bit of butter for flavour (I mostly saute thin slices of chicken, or slices of pork tenderloin that I have pounded thin) . Here are a few that I like. 1/2 cup chicken stock (store bought is OK) lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon 1 Tbsp capers 1 Tbsp cold butter (add to pan...

    I love to cook and bake, always have. When I cooked with gluten ingredients, I tended towards more whole grains. That hasn't changed since going gluten free. Here is my latest mix. I get consistent good results with this mix, but I don't use it for everything. Some recipes just scream out to use what is called for in the recipe for many different reasons...
