    Is the original poster okay with garbanzo bean flour, or must she avoid all legumes ? I have found that for eggless gluten free recipes, a 1/3 combination of potato starch, buckwheat flour, and garbanzo bean flour makes great pancakes and flatbreads. *Other flours such as amaranth or an amaranth/almond mixture could be substituted for the garbanzo...

    I just found another one, but lost my first write up. Science seen lacking for gluten free craze Open Original Shared Link 8/31/12 Josh Sosland, FoodBusinessNews

    I try to stick to the gluten free diet, that was originally proposed as a "starch free" SCD by the eating pioneers in the field. Today, maybe 30+ years since I was told I was arthritic, and nine years into this gluten free thing, I'm more flexible and functional as an older adult approaching early retirement age, than I was as a young adult. I...

    Takala replied to cavernio's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Have the physician write the script specifying that it needs to be gluten free, and substitutions can be made to select the gluten free version equivalent. Ask the doctor if you can call him/her back if the pharmacy can't find something. Tell the pharmacist that you have an allergy and that he/she needs to check for the allergen, by either contacting...

    Would really recommend that you take the house gluten free. The glutenoids can still eat whatever they want outside the home. You aren't doing without, you're doing different. The "pickiness" and desire for breads/crackers and not much else, can be due in part to cravings for sugars and carbs that are amplified by the ongoing malnutrition caused...

    For treats, the gluten - free dog really likes pieces of rice cakes or pure corn tortillas. We have a very large dog with a wheat/barley/cc'd oats allergy. (I call this serendipity that he was at the pound, waiting for somebody who would show up who could deal with it ) Anyone who had ever seen him sitting expectantly in the kitchen doorway, drooling...

    Here is how to make hamburger or sandwich rolls with Chebe that are more "breadlike." Take a box of chebe bread mix. Add to the mix about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of whatever gluten free flour substitute(s) you wish, such as buckwheat, amaranth, sorghum, ground almond meal, brown rice flour, quinoa flour. Add a small amount of salt, a dash. Add a small...

    That is all they did ? One test ?

    Oh, those people, again. He hit all the pet lobbyist talking points, it's just a matter of whether I can determine he ("Hank Campbell") is a real or fake identity, and his relationship with the others in his pro - GMO "troll" group who get paid to do this. This is probably their response to the New York Times opinion piece that was published this weekend...

    Oh, no, not Alice Bast and NFCA again , the same organization which helped bring us the Domino's Pizza "gluten free" certification fiasco. By following the links provided, I see this:

    I have a regular Magic Bullet. I tried it for nut grinding awhile back, and thought that the blender worked better. Then, last week, after having seen one of those informercial type things while watching the Olympics, I thought, why not try it with something that's supposed to end up liquid, so I put some vegetables, fruit, a little water and ice into...

    If you were already diagnosed, you don't really need an endoscopy (which looks at your small intestine for damage to the lining of it) unless your doctor recommends it to aid in further diagnosis of what could be additional issues. The majority of people with celiac disease are still undiagnosed because of the prevalent myth that one must have G.I. issues...

    If you are having an active outbreak of DH, the dermatologist can biopsy the skin next to an active lesion. On the rash itself, doesn't work.

    This is why I go boinky-boom on my dear sweet spouse when he comes home with a "generic" brand of pre packaged manufactured grocery item, which is different than what we have been previously consuming. I had a really mild reaction the other day to a house store brand condiment that I had been okay with before, and the label indicates that I really...

    That's the beauty of celiac. You think you're reacting to everything else but what you are reacting to. Think of it this way - you just found your tribe. Make sure your thyroid meds are gluten free, as well.

    This was on the opinion pages of the New York Times, 8/26/12, by Moises Velasquez-Manoff Immune Disorders and Autism Open Original Shared Link While it is not about celiac per se, it does mention celiac as a risk factor for autism. And as of 4 years ago, that was nearly biological heresy on the internet discussion boards. So this article...

    It can also be an allergic reaction. I seem to get this several hours after eating something or taking a medication that I am having some sort of mild reaction to. I've had it after eating something that was gluten free, but had certain food coloring in it, or possible antibiotic residue because the item was not organic. But the neuro symptoms are more...

    Okay, for avocados, if they are hard to the touch in the store, let them sit out on the counter several days to finish ripening. Once they are soft, they are ready to eat. You can make chocolate "pudding" out of mashed avocado and melted chocolate chips. Can you do coconut ? Coconut milk (canned) is good, you could make a sort of "horchata...

    You can get any sort of wheat free grain mix, such as corn/oats/molasses, add some black oil sunflower seeds and some trace mineralized salt and a bit of dicalcium phosphate (which is available from mail order pet supplies). You can also find, if you look, wild bird seed mixes that do not have wheat, to which you can add the black oil sunflower seed, some...

    Oh, excellent, at least someone who had some knowledge on the topic was working on the comments section over there ! Maybe my berating people for years in different venues, is having some small ripple effect ! LOL. Hey, if Gaga wants to try it, let her, perhaps she will discover something, as there is a high percentage of people of Italian heritage...

    No, but you will eventually, if you exercise ENOUGH, be able to eat a stuffed baked potato with either yogurt or cheese or olive oil and vegetables and a meat on the side. Or a small serving of home made home fries on the weekends. With insulin resistance/PCOS, you forget about eating the disaster of a food pyramid of high carb low fat, and eat vegetables...

    This is why I hate Michael Pollan and the NYTimes low-fat fear of mortality lifestyle pages..... your cancer treatment could have triggered your new food intolerances, celiac is a known risk factor for cancer(s), I've already outlived one parent by age by 12 years, and for the love of God, please start ingesting some quantities of 'good fats' into your diet...

    I am a person with the classic neurological symptoms of celiac, which mimicked MS, plus the brain damage visible on a scan, plus bone loss at a young age, plus other auto immune problems as a result, yet I had no formal diagnosis. Now, assuming I had it all over to do again, and assuming that this time I would actually throw a positive blood test ...

    If you make it the habit of immediately throwing your work clothes in the wash, or keeping them out of the bedroom, and showering off residue, it may not be much of a problem. Handwashing and hosing off outside also helps. The people with sensitive skin (like me) who work outdoors with creatures who routinely consume the things I'm reacting to, (grasses...

    That supposedly "yummy" looking potluck type dessert food is so loaded with health destroying ingredients, it does not seem charitable to me to be offering it to other people to consume as a socially beneficial activity. Hey, let's sit around and eat too much sugar, palm oil, cottonseed oil, saturated fat, corn syrup, artificial flavoring, refined...
