    You will actually have an advantage over some other people if you at least know how to bake with regular flour.... these poor kids didn't suffer thru the required home economics classes and/or they have no restaurant prep experience, and many of them can't grasp the basics and have to be taught how to cook from scratch. The commercial gluten free breads...

    Can you put coconut milk on the cereal ? If you can't find boxed coconut milk, you can dilute the canned stuff - adding a tablespoon or two of coconut milk helps. (we are eating a variation of the same thing for breakfast, as I usually have fruit and nuts, but it's almonds that I have either just microwave roasted or made into something else, like an almond...

    The immune - suppressing drugs that they have developed so far have proven to be extremely dangerous, because you need to have a healthy immune system to keep you from developing cancer. And they are extremely expensive and have other side effects, which means you'd be vulnerable to getting very sick if exposed to large crowds of people during cold/flu...

    Yup. They do put this "tara" gum into it. Open Original Shared Link I wonder if they bumped the gum content up a bit to be able to add more air to the product. I was eating this other "organic" brand for awhile, and then they started putting tapioca in it. And this was some expensive $$$ all natural blah blah brand to begin with. I can't take...

    Uhmmm, "deprive" the children of what, exactly? They don't need to be eating gluten in the home. You have two little cross contamination vectors spreading the gluten all over the place. This is making you sick. Time to make the household gluten- free. This may also include pets, especially if they are indoor pets.

    I should not be allowed to know how to do this. edit update: now I've done it. I clicked on the recipe. I'm bleeped. I probably already gained a pound just by reading that.

    Yup. And it's one, two, three glutenings and you're out.... I have reacted to "gluten free" peanut butter, and replaced it with a brand that just says "contains: peanuts, salt. may contain traces of tree nuts or soy." and do much better on that brand. I am leery of anything "natural..." for a reason. We're America, the land of watching other...

    Have someone look after you and make sure they do NOT feed you anything. Take your own glutenfree food. Assuming you are in the USA. God - awful cluelessness. Anybody on a special diet in hospitals.... Re nausea: they have made great strides in this anesthesia in the past few years, you may be okay. Do tell the anesthesiologist doc/nurse. Don...

    You should google "gluten free New York City" and see what it pulls up. I know you can get gluten free hot dogs and beer at New York's Citi Field Mets baseball games. There are a LOT of Italian restaurants in NYC, but American Italian east coast food isn't that much like Italian food in Italy. In Italy, there are enough celiacs that many restaurants...

    I had a spectacular allergic reaction to one of those supposedly allergy friendly, herbal deodorants I tried using recently, after I was getting repeated failures from the "new and improved" brand I was using, which would fail after a few hours... and I don't actually sweat that much. Since I was now almost desperate, after washing it off and skipping a...

    I'm sorry, but that is hilarious. You just know that there are people out there somewhere who would be trying to do that deliberately, and then giving it some sort of cutesy name and charging more $ for it. Volcano Bread ! Try baking it at a lower temperature for a longer time, like maybe knock it down 25

    Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, molasses, some sort of fruit mash like applesauce, plums, peaches, mangos, salt and some sort of heat spice like hot pepper sauce or hot chile flakes. Maybe some other spices like used in an Indian curry sauce.

    It is an auto immune disease. There are trolls all over the media trying to pretend that it's a fad and a neurotic response to anxiety. They might be said to be having another sort of malfunction. I'd rather have this one than theirs.

    I just use water in pancakes. With the buckwheat flavor, other seasonings and the toppings, expecting milk to add any extra flavoring that you'd notice doesn't happen. I have put water, olive oil, garlic and a splash of vinegar in potatoes. (I am not dairy free now, but sometimes I do stuff that way anyway, because I don't do lactose in regular milk...

    You are being cross contaminated by gluten, which is affecting your brain function. NEVER take a roomate who will not respect your wishes.... he should have been gone yesterday. He should have been GONE the first time he left flour "all over the place.... " what are you thinking, letting somebody like this into your living area.... I would go so far...

    When they moved a lot of their manufacturing out of the country, it coincided with going from disclosing ingredients and gluten free status being pretty much assured to the current situation of inquiries as to just what is actually in those flavorings is not being volunteered. Which was sort of heartbreaking, as I and others used to eat quite a bit of plain...

    Try a health food store, they would be more likely to have the outlier stuff. I have an older tube of Ecco Bella that can be mail ordered, and another shade in the Revlon, but it sounds like you are needing it sooner. Ecco Bella has a store locator search page now: Open Original Shared Link

    Cravings are caused by malnutrition - if you are having trouble sticking to it, get on those gluten free vitamin B complex, a multivitamin, and calcium and magnesium. You may also have to switch into a lower carbohydrate, higher protein and fat diet than is typical for Americans, especially females brainwashed to eat "low fat." It is better to be taking...

    There is another poster on this board whose celiac disease was triggered by a giardia infestation. He has written several times how this one encounter with tainted water on an outdoor outing changed his entire life, and the resulting celiac and food intolerances came after it. You have positive DQ8, past and present biopsies indicating damage, and...

    Hello and welcome. The blood tests will not necessarily reveal how severe the disease is. BUT, you want to INSIST that you do get a written copy- you own the test results, make them give it to you, so YOU have a record of any changes if they re test you, and you also will have pain in the @$$ snotty medical professionals sometimes telling you you don...

    This is more common than you think. Continue to eat the way that makes you feel not sick.

    ROFLMAO This is up there with we recently got a mini portable grill, floor model on clearance, and I'll be ****ed if my husband managed to somehow get me with the first marshmellows he tried toasting on it to test it. Where does he set this up ? On the freaking floor of the garage/shop building, he just sets the grill pieces down right on the floor....

    If she is eating gluten free foods, she may also have a problem with one of the ingredients common to them, especially in the commercial baked goods. Can you tell us what she is eating for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks?

    Lundberg rice cakes. If they are not crispy enough once opened, it helps to heat them a little to refresh, either in the toaster or microwave. They can also be crumbled and used for rice cereal, rice crispy type treats, or for "bread" crumbs.

    Have you been tested for Lyme disease ? Internal parasites ? You are either getting cross contaminated (no fun) or you are having another unresolved problem along with this. Or both. re: MS like symptoms (ataxia, loss of balance, coordination) - I had neuro symptoms that mostly resolved thru a gluten free diet, have heard more than once that it ...
