    I think, and this is my opinion only, that if you get your diet balanced up otherwise into what you should be eating, that the "yeast" overgrowth situation will take care of itself. This means more proteins, good fats such as olive oil and coconut milks, vegetables, and fruits, and fewer highly processed carbohydrates high on the glycemic index, such as...

    I would have immediately spit out the sauce. then taken a mouthful of water and spit it out again. Geez. Try taking a pic of the ruined shirt and sending it to the corporate restaurant management with a dry cleaning bill receipt. I agree that they should have at least comped your entire meal, and somebody higher up the food chain should have...

    You can't do it (inquiry) without sounding like at least a partial psycho or at least a world class neurotic, so it's no use trying. They just can't do it with their home kitchen equipment. They aren't going to have the separate clean cutting boards, dedicated teflon, bakeware, stand mixers, and plasticware, etc. They aren't going to scrub their...

    Oh, thanks. Now I'm laughing so hard I have half chewed apple slices up my nasal cavities. My spouse kept buying these freaking ^%$#@(*&%^$ "organic" "natural" condiments because they said "naturally gluten free" on them, and I kept rejecting them, because it's a bad company for c'c, and they kept changing their ingredients, so he said "oh, it's okay...

    It's okay, you can vent here, because it is a steep learning curve. I've been having a non gluten type reaction to something, which is really, really annoying because it has to be coming from something in my gluten free repertoire, and I've been doing this for almost 9 years, not 6 months. And it's something(s) here at home because I've eaten out several...

    LOL ! A bowl of lettuce, AGAIN! Anonymous salad dressings and a communal dipping area ! Because he was a male and he assumed he could just somehow order something to be done, and he had come up short on his "effort" anyway, and you have done a successful work - around anyway. Perhaps in his culture you are supposed to graciously accept...

    Oh, boy, is that thought going to start freaking the agricultural subsidy industry out soon, or what ? Think of all the antibiotics normal dairy cows are exposed to, and all the possible herbicide and insecticide residues. One of the most exasperating things I have seen happen in the past 2 years is the so far successful assault on the organic...

    And you're wasting your time with this incompetent person, why ? I don't "officially" have much of my auto immune diseases, either, because of the way the health care system in the United States changed in the late 1990's and began to reward incoherence and shuffling patients from one doctor group to the next, and I moved from one state to another without...

    (muttering....) My New Year Tradition will be do not go to a restaurant, even one with a gluten free menu and a good reputation, that I may have eaten at before, because being glutened on New Years Day is miserable. My second one is don't try any new store- bought, manufactured gluten free items containing any grain products whatsoever on the eve of any...

    Amaranth. It has this interesting quality to it, that when I've used it in breads, the result is mold retardant when the bread is stored in the refrigerator. Plus it is somewhat "stickier" than other types of flours. It seems I might be millet reactive, which is a sort of bummer as it tastes good, but it's not worth getting sick on. I am not sure...

    This is a fascinating discussion. The things you learn on the internet ! This may come in handy the next time there is really bad forest fire airborn smoke pollution here, (in CA) and the regular antihistamines just don't cut down the reaction. If I could avoid taking steroids to continue to breathe, that would be good.

    You can also use coconut flour, but you may have to add a bit more liquid to it and let it sit a minute or two to absorb it. Might take an extra egg in the cake recipe, may want to go with a test cake of a half batch first.

    If you do much baking, you will probably end up using something other than the gluten free "Bob's Red Mill All Purpose" flours, but a mix you've made yourself, just to get consistent results. There are two kinds of basic mixtures, some suitable for things like cookies, and the kind that works better with breads. The stuff I would take to serve to somebody...

    You can adapt to this and have your children and husband have a healthier mother and wife, and avoid a lot of complications, or ..... I am a generation older, so this concept of using real foods and cooking from scratch (to save money and because it is better for you anyway, besides, in a rural area, everything is a long drive) is not so foreign...

    Celiac is notorious for causing other diseases, like Hashimoto's auto immune thyroid disease, which then usually gets diagnosed first. There is a sexual bias perception with physicians, they don't mean to most of the time, but if you're the less likely sex to get a disease, they tend to blow you off. Auto immune disease like celiac is more common in women...

    You will need to call the doctor back and discuss whether you need to have your thyroid levels monitored. You also must check and make sure any and all medications you take are really gluten free. Some unscrupulous drug manufacturers are actually putting GLUTEN in some of their thyroid medications as a binder or filler and will not guarantee gluten free...

    Nope! You just put them in tap water and stir to wet them. They gel up on their own. If you have kids, they can have fun watching this. The seeds are not that noticeable in the finished bread. Flax needs to be ground up for this. Use gluten free psyllium if you try that route.... be sure to soak that in water, also, before adding to any recipe...

    With that store- bought ****, you need to warm it up in the microwave or a dedicated toaster before using, if you want it to be more white - bread like. Just keep eating gluten free, it start tasting normal after a few days or weeks. The breads are smaller because they are denser and heavier. I would suggest you learn to make microwave...

    Call the doctor back and report your symptoms. Do you have thyroid antibodies, you can have so- called "normal" thyroid levels and still be really messed up if it is auto immune type of thyroid disease. What else did you eliminate from your diet ? People sometimes go overboard on that, also.

    With a pan bread baked in a cast iron skillet, using egg and part amaranth and ground almonds, no gum is needed. Using a mini loaf pan, I can get small loaves of gluten free bread which are whole grain and whole wheat like, dense, suitable for fresh sliced with butter, toast, or grilled cheese. This bread does hold together, but is not that "flexible...

    Great picture! Love the cast iron pan. What recipe and what flours did you use that didn't work ? (I'm more of a thin crust type, myself )

    Doncha just want to say "why don't you try sticking a spoonful of coconut flour in that" for the short version, instead of all these mystery ingredients ? But it sounds like they "did something" to tapioca and rice. The whole article does have a sort of comedy aspect to it. And the link won't let me cut and paste, so they are being very protective...

    Now we are finally starting to get somewhere on this topic !
  25. Takala
    I'm starting now to study how to keep myself gluten free, if these so- called "cures" take off, and we get in a situation where food manufacturers aren't providing gluten free foods to the extent they are now. The same medical profession that cannot diagnose me and cannot recognize the entire disease complex of related side effects - is now going to...
