    I was making a couple of different things. Bread, scones and these chocolate cake thingys. For the bread, it's the yolk that gives it texture, as well as the white that makes it rise. I ended up putting a little more yeast and a little more EVOO and it was all good. But for something like the cake, it was trickier. And its something that I don't particularly...

    BRM's almond meal is next to impossible to bake with. So, if you want to bake with it, I would suggest trying to get it finer than that. Interestingly enough, as the previous poster mentioned, BRM has a hazelnut flour that appears to be non-blanched, and from the picture looks fine enough. Wish they would do that with their almond flour!

    To be very honest, I used to doubt the validity of those tests. Recently, I have had reason to change my mind. A friend of mine who writes a very popular local blog endorsed a baker he came in contact with at the state fair a couple of years ago. His bread tasted awesome, and he said it was made in his gluten-free facility. My friend broke out in DH ...

    My bloodwork was negative, too. I didn't do things the "right" way, but in the end my doctor diagnosed me with celiac. I had an EGD on Monday, and included was biopsies to make sure that I am as my doctor put it, celiac free. Makes me sorta wish that I had biopsies from earlier on to have something to compare it to. I don't need the paperwork to stay gluten...

    I ate them just recently and regretted it severely an hour later. So, I guess it comes down to what you personally feel you can handle. Maybe it was the grease? IDK. But I know that I will not eat McDo's fries again any time soon. Peter makes a good point, and unfortunately, there is no standard answer at this point. I guess there *technically* is, but...

    What do you use to substitute egg yolks? When the purpose of the egg is moreso for the emulsifying properties of the yolk as opposed to the leavening properties of the white, what do you use? I have experimented with olive oil in combo with egg replacer, but I don't love it. I know that you can use flax, but this particular experiment had to be flax free...

    That's my kind of night! At our house we had pork chops, steamed broccoli and homemade rosemary focaccia bread. It was delicious.

    I just had an EGD on Monday. I can't say that I think it gave me D, but I've had it on and off for a week, which I attribute to the Nexium they put me on. I stopped taking it a couple of days ago, as it was doing absolutely nothing for my problem, but I know it did give me D. It's kind of starting to taper off.... dunno if you're taking any new medications...

    My GI ordered it. It was a very simple blood draw. Mine was done through Prometheus and wasn't cheap. I paid for about 50% of it. That was a couple years ago. I've seen newer stuff out there, ie saliva tests, but I can't speak on the cost or validity of those.

    I don't have a bread machine, but also a KitchenAid stand mixer. LOVE IT!!!! It still does all the work for me, all I have to do is transfer it to a pan.

    ARCHIVED Low Hcl

    lizard00 replied to lizard00's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I am a coffee addict and have wondered if that had something to do with it. I'm also using this reason to justify drinking wine with dinner-- you know, it helps boost acid production!

    ARCHIVED Low Hcl

    lizard00 replied to lizard00's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Thanks for your replies. I'm an A, too. I bought the mini Eat Right book, but didn't really follow it. It could be worth another try. I rarely feel like I have heartburn. I feel like when I eat the food just lands in my stomach like a brick and stays that way for a couple of hours. My stomach feels really heavy and sometimes I'll get a slight headache...

    Ok, I've been searching for 10 or 15 minutes trying to find any information regarding this, but I can't find any. SO, can you post a link or source info regarding there being MSG in the above products? As an aside- I did find one *remotely* associated blurb saying that xanthan could have free glutamates because it is a corn product (though it is so highly...
  15. lizard00
    You definitely have to play around with the flour combo if you don't want to use it. Guar seems less expensive, though I haven't done an oz to oz comparison. Once, I forgot to put xanthan in my bread and the dough came to be more of a cookie dough than a bread dough. I also bake with almond flour and it is not needed in almond flour. I actually put it in...

    That's awesome!!! I'm jealous... I just want to start running again.

    The term 'gluten' refers to protein storage. Within the proteins are the substances that those with celiac must avoid. So, yes, corn has gluten as does rice, etc., but these are not harmful to celiacs. I really don't know how the whole gluten free thing came to be, maybe someone else has the history of why it was worded the way it is.

    If this is the total IgA serum, then it looks like there is no IgA deficiency.
  19. lizard00
    I don't see where they did a total serum IgA test, which would indicate a deficiency or not. Am I missing it? Perhaps they ran it with the new panel?

    I got glutened once while I was pregnant with my daughter. My initial reaction was the same-- severe headache and nausea, but it was gone the next day, instead of lingering it's usual 7-10 days. SO, my reaction did change during pregnancy, and it's quite possible yours did, too. There were also foods that I normally tolerate fine, but when I was pregnant...

    I use them, too. No problems.
  22. lizard00
    Thanks! I'll definitely check into it. Right now I'm looking into a possible low stomach acid situation, which seems to run in my family. But as I still am having some stomach issues, I'm willing to look at anything. Right now, it seems like most things make my stomach burn and feel really heavy after I eat, which is why I'm exploring the low HCL thing. I...

    Yes, it would work. I did it for one of my customers who is potato intolerant. It does have a bit of a distinct flavor though. I used it in a chocolate cake recipe and couldn't tell the difference tastewise or texturally. And sorghum/tapioca/potato starch blend is what I use 99% of the time.
  25. lizard00
    I do it often. Never had a problem.
