    You don't "have to," but some of us do react, especially if we have longer hair or are super sensitive. We have a well, low water pressure, and hard water, and I don't want to spend a half tank of hot water trying to get that stuff rinsed absolutely completely off of me. I was especially concerned about conditioners, which frequently have wheat and oat...

    I am sorry. I grew up baking and it seems to be a knack. I got a gluten-free cookbook and worked a few of the recipes and said, oh, okay, I get it. If you substitute for eggs, you have to use additional leavening to replace the lift you're going to be missing. This can be baking powder, or baking soda and a small amount of vinegar, in addition to...

    Are you taking vitamin B complex and calcium/mineral supplements and eating properly ? If it's only been 6 months it may take a while longer to heal up and be absorbing nutrients better. You may also have to change your diet, more protein, more good fats, more vegetables, less carbohydrate. I found out that if I am going to have a day where I...

    Here it is- Gluten sensitivity and impacts on the brain, by David Perlmutter, MD 11/21/10 HuffPo Open Original Shared Link Elizabeth Gordon also has been posting recipes there and I had gone back to look at one, but I couldn't find it at first, that's when I saw the other link Open Original Shared Link here's the gluten-free cookie recipe, but...

    Oh, interesting ! Coconut and hemp milk do go together. What brand of hemp milk are you using ? I was getting a strange reaction to one brand I had been using for about a year after they redesigned the box and said "improved" (Takala's rule - if it works for you, somebody in marketing will screw it up ) and after giving it a pass for a month...

    And the Bette Hagman's works. Even if you don't have the potato flour. You can also use 1/3 each proportion of rice flour, cornstarch, and tapioca. But don't forget that you have to, in most recipes for things like cake, also add xanthan gum or guar gum to replace the sticky part that is normally done by the gluten. It is usually about a teaspoon...

    1 √. positive biopsy, 2√ positive enterolab, 3 √symptoms including migraines and on and off D, and √4. Doctor initially said you should try a gluten free diet, 5√ now you say you've got at least one copy of a gene which predisposes you to celiac, as "DQ8 heterozygous, Increased Risk 2x, Relative Risk Moderate" https://www.celiac.com/articles/21628/1/C...

    I just read that this am when I went back to check a recipe that I had bookmarked. HuffPo has been running several author's articles on celiac and gluten intolerance and gluten free cooking recipes this past year, all of which have been very good.

    I had to buy some new bakeware. But if you saw how old the previous bakeware was, you'd understand. I had stuff that could have been 30 years old or more. Some of the pans for cake and pie were literally antiques I had collected at garage sales. They are now gracefully retired. The regular bakeware pans were not coming clean, short of sandblasting...

    Are you looking for an excuse to avoid the gluten free diet ? The criteria of an "official" diagnosis is a positive blood test and biopsy. Without both, some doctors will not officially bestow the Official Seal of Approval

    Try contacting Gold Mine Natural Food Company. They are mail order but based in San Diego. You may have to get yourself a grain grinding mill. Open Original Shared Link

    Mine is gluten free at home, but will eat anything he wants for lunch out at work. Sometimes at restaurants if we eat out, he gets the regular food. This way keeps it out of the house but doesn't deprive him, it's a win - win situation for us. He just changed breakfast cereals over to gluten free, and dinner is the same as before.

    For inexpensive gluten free dog treats, you can use Lundberg rice cakes broken into small pieces, or corn tortillas torn into small strips and left to air dry on a plate on the counter- the dogs love them anyway, and they are actually not expensive like the biscuits can be. 2 of the dogs have allergies out of four, so this cut down on them cross contaminating...

    Make your own Thanksgiving if your relatives won't cooperate. If anybody tried telling me not to bring my own (safe) food that's the last they'd hear from me. They don't have to eat it, but they had better not be messing with what I've set aside, either. You should have heard my (eats gluten-free at home ) spouse the other night when I was describing...

    Call them back and make them send you the entire results in writing. You paid for the tests, you own them. Some doctors offices will have you be able to look up the results online, but still, if and when you are at the office, make them copy you the results or make them send them to you - in writing. Or in an email you can print off. A number plucked...

    Take a gluten free multivitamin, a B complex vitamin, and a calcium supplement such as calcium citrate. Eat more good fats such as nuts, avocado, coconut milk or oil. Eat more vegetables. Eat more real fruit. If you're reacting to milk, there are lots of milk substitutes out there that are gluten free, such as nut milks, rice milks, hemp milks, etc...

    Uhm, the regular cornmeal from Quaker is not gluten free. I just searched the Quaker Oats.com site and can't find any reference to the corn meal being as such. The only reference to gluten free is in the FAQ section re the rice cakes. There are other product lines that have gluten free cornmeal or masa: Kinnikinnick Open Original Shared...

    Call the doctor's office is right. The doctor's are trying to fob this off on the patients and letting them wrangle with the pharmacies and the insurance companies, but it is their job to write the prescription in a way that it is clear that the script has to be filled without it containing the allergen. Your insurance is trying to rip you off. Don't...

    There have been all sorts of goofy, inaccurate gluten intolerant and celiac articles in the main stream glutenoid media this past year, but this one takes the rice cake. According to a Dr Stephen Katz at the NIH, National Institutes of Health, he is claiming (!!!) that a small percentage of patients with DH go into remission after treatment with dapsone...

    The reason he's not hearing about it as much is because they are eating properly down there in Mexico, and using a corn (maize) based diet and tortillas, beans, rice and potatoes, from the New World, instead of this wheat from Europe and the mid- East which was imported up here in North America. (well, the white rice is Asian, but it's western Asian and...

    Oh, MY G*D. Check out the second Reuters article. Open Original Shared Link Did I miss something somewhere ? "Spontaneous remission ?!" are they out of their ***** ?

    What is this "can't go out for pizza ever again" nonsense ? Many advanced pizza places now offer the option of a gluten free crust that they order pre made and frozen from a special gluten free bakery, and use gluten free ingredients on it, like Hormel pepperoni, and have preparers that understand how to make it. One of the people interviewed said...

    To be fair to Nuts Online, they also have gluten free stuff, including dried fruit: Open Original Shared Link While the official Medical Inquiry as to whether or not Oats are gluten is out, oats not specifically grown in dedicated fields and handled on dedicated equipment that does not do wheat, rye, or barley may be cross contaminated. Some people do...
